It’s hard to get certainty around processes that change every single time, Marks says.
It leads to objective analysis of every aspect of a process, every element of resource requirement, energy consumption, knowledge, and cost.It leads to testing of the value parameters each of these elements is being measured against.
It is rigorous, logical and data-driven.. Design to Value may lead to a solution that is very different to the one initially conceived, but it will be a solution that is fully thought through, appropriate and complete.A built asset that delivers value across the piece.This leads to wide-ranging benefits: cost-savings, increases in speed, quality and safety, and the creation of more sustainable buildings with projects delivering greater social value.. Digital design: using construction technology to iterate and refine.
Our approach at Bryden Wood is rooted in a Design to Value methodology.We dismantle a process rigorously until we reduce it to its smallest components.
Then we call on a breadth and depth of expertise to optimise every component, so that when we combine them in the complete solution, the whole will operate to the maximum efficiency of all of its parts.. We use construction technology to create a digital model of every component, containing as much value data as we can source, ranging from energy consumption to physical space requirements to expected lifespan to cost.
In the digital design environment, we experiment with a huge number of permutations of components, introducing variables, then measuring, iterating and refining, over and again..It keeps the light moving as well as a sense of inspiration between the residents.. ‘We originally wanted a studio in the atrium, but they were all taken.
People love them,’ says Abubakar.West Port & Co’s office is on the outside of the building where they have the most London of views: the concrete underside of the Westway, a bus depot filled with bright red, double-decker buses, and the railway tracks that will eventually be home to The Elizabeth Line.
‘It’s actually a really quiet environment,’ Obinna Ihejetoh says, ‘we always forget we’re under the Westway.’.Shaun and Khalifa also live locally in Primrose Hill and Kensal Rise so benefit from short commutes.
