Chetwoods hat in Zusammenarbeit  mit Baytree Logistics Properties ein neues  Logistikkonzept entwickelt und erstmals  im Raum Dunstable realisiert. Der bahnbrechender Anfang für ein Industriegebäudekonzept, das sich auf die Gesundheit zukünftiger Mitarbeiter konzentriert und gleichzeitig ein Produkt zum Marktpreis liefert.

Das Gebäude wurde mit der EPC-Bewertung “A”, BREEAM ‘Excellent‘ zertifiziert und wird im Rahmen einer industriellen Pilotstudie für den Well Building Standard weiterentwickelt.

Auf dem Gelände wurden eine Reihe von bisher ungewöhnlichen Maßnahmen entwickelt, darunter: eine “Well Plaza” mit Blick auf das Wasserspiel des künstlich angelegten Teichs, Spaziergänge in der Natur über Wanderwege, Trimm-Dich-Pfad und Fitnessgeräte-Park, Laufstrecke, Insektenhotels, Ladebänke für Sonnengeräte und Fahrradunterstände mit Sedum-Dächern zur Bindung von Partikel, die durch Fahrzeugaktivitäten im Hof entstehen.Zur weiteren Verbesserung der Luftqualität ist ein `Stadtbaum` geplant.

Chetwoods hat das Baytree-Branding mit maßgeschneiderten Details in das Erscheinungsbild der Außenfassade integriert. Zukünftig wird dieses Branding auf allen Baytree-Gebäuden in Großbritannien und Europa zu finden sein

Chetwoods worked with Baytree Logistics Properties to design a logistics warehouse that is the world’s first WELL Building Standard pilot industrial scheme and represents an innovation in the design and delivery of logistics buildings.

We applied WELL™ principles and our bespoke Thrive Design Drivers to incorporate environmental and wellbeing design features throughout the scheme.

The building was designed and procured via a full BIM model coordinated with 4D timeline video and AR and VR outputs to provide high quality visualisations of alternative office environments for potential building users. A bespoke on-site ‘Tech Hub’ was used during construction to demonstrate the development’s innovations and occupier benefits.

The Baytree Sensor Suite was installed as part of the base building specification to manage a healthy working environment while reducing operational and maintenance costs. Sensors monitor air and water quality, internal noise, lighting, humidity and temperature, occupancy and occupancy patterns. The system can be accessed remotely to adjust the office heating and comfort cooling, and de-energise local lighting for lower occupancy levels.

The office spaces provide a Grade A office environment. Environmental factors such as noise, indoor air quality and light impact on mental health and wellbeing, and ensuring optimal thermal comfort and maximum natural daylight was an integral design principle. The building has a super airtight, insulated envelope. It features air source heat pumps for efficient office environment conditioning, enhanced use of recycled and recyclable materials, and prefabricated building elements. It includes solar photovoltaic panels for clean power production, electric vehicle charging stations, and low energy LED lighting with automatic movement and daylight controls that extends to external yard areas and doors; 10% roof lights provide natural daylight.

The building is set within a landscape environment applying biophilic design principles to promote relaxation, physical activity and healthy eating. The attenuation pond has been turned into a ‘Well Plaza’: benches incorporate solar-powered charging points and aquatic marginal planting, a ‘Trim Trail’ provides an area for fitness activities, and the fire track has been designed to have a dual use as a running track.  Reindeer moss covered walls in the reception area improve air quality and absorb noise, and moss on bicycle shelters helps to filter particulates in the air.
