It’s a balancing act to make sure a building can be adaptable without over-designing the structure, architecture and MEP.

The UK government has committed to reducing carbon emissions by 78% by 2035, and to become Net Zero Carbon by 2050.
This means that all industries, including construction – estimated to produce around 40% of total UK carbon emissions – will need to make a big effort to reduce their environmental impact.Ultimately, you will have a happy client who won’t have to pay as much to run the building every year.With the Circle Reading project, architects Bryden Wood have employed a design ethic powered by both clinical practicality and build efficiency, delivering a hospital not only visually distinctive, but one which utilises insightful, use-driven design and cutting edge manufacturing processes.
It’s a space which continually upends expectations - a structure of steel and concrete, much of which was built offsite..The achievement has been made possible by the implementation of a bespoke Design for Manufacture and Assembly system, which Bryden Wood developed in conjunction with Circle and tailored specifically for their needs.
Ultimately, the system played a key role in the creation of Adaptable Platforms.which Board Director Jaimie Johnston says, ‘allows a far wider range of clients to get the same benefits without the need to create a new system.’.
