AIG building in London, UKFor AIG’s new UK HQ in London’s Fenchurch Street, close teamwork between the architect, us and the contractor ingeniously maximised building size within onerous planning criteria to match AIG’s space needs and deliver a high-spec facility on a congested site to a tight programmeAt Mott MacDonald we have a tried and tested record in delivering solutions tailor-made to the particular needs of prestigious commercial buildings.

Our approach includes:
  • efficient service core design to maximise net lettable area
  • distinctive curtain wall façade design
  • satisfying the market’s desire for column-free spaces
  • structural design that helps speed construction
  • balance between minimising floor to ceiling heights to save cost and the desirability of higher ceilings when letting the space
  • designing building services and structure for flexibility in use, to cope with the inevitable ‘churn’ of tenants
  • society’s expectation that energy use will be reduced
  • the importance of occupational health and safety
This means we bring key advantages to each project, among them:
  • sophisticated computer modelling for natural and artificial lighting
  • a specialist façade team able to design innovative systems for curtain walls, atrium spaces and skylight structures
  • leading expertise in high-rise structures and deep basements
  • in-house skills in performance-based fire safety engineering – offering the opportunity to provide demonstrated public safety without necessarily adopting prescriptive codes
  • experience in sustainable design, including natural and mixed-mode ventilation, daylighting and photovoltaics
  • proven ability to lead and manage fast track projects, in either traditional tendered delivery arrangements, or through novation and/or design and build
