   We were tasked with creating an office block for
    Pinewood Studios. We had a few initial ideas, but
    eventually decided on a rotated style, inspired by
    ‘Jenga’ and ‘Rubik’s Cube’.
 Initially, we wanted
  to have each floor
  rotated at 22. 5˚ to
  give a good aesthetic
  appeal to the
  building.
 We then simplified
  this design to have
  each floor at opposite
  angles of 45 ˚.
 We decided to place the large open view windows on the South and West
  side to maintain sunlight throughout the day.
 We chose to use the cantilever balconies as rooftop gardens making the
  building more aesthetically and environmentally appealing.
 The slanted roof idea meant that we could harvest the rainwater and use it
  to water plants, we could also recycle it within services.

 We would intend to look
  further into the ground
  beneath before any
  construction, although the
  London Clay would mean that
  we could have a solid structure.
 We would use piling to create
  the foundations, they would be
  concrete and they would have
  to be long enough to go
  through 10m of made ground to
  ensure stability.
   Originally we thought that we would use
    floor to ceiling glass windows on the faces that
    would be in direct sunlight. On the other sides
    we were going to use wood. We also explored
    the idea of using coloured sides like a Rubik’s
    cube, although it didn't give the desired look.
   The glass windows would be double glazing to
    improve the BREEAM score of out building-
    we intend for this to be outstanding.
   We also put a skylight above the central core
    to make the most of natural lighting through
    the stairwell reducing the need for electricity
    supply during the day.
Floor plans of building   Services layout in building
 We decided to base our services around the lift shaft
  so that no space used for offices would be taken up.
 The services included on all the floors are; electrical
  wires, ventilation pipes, gas pipes and water pipes.

By increasing
some of the beam
sizes (especially of
the cantilevers)
we reduced the
torsion in the
building, this
meant that the
building could
support both the
dead and live
loads.

   What we have learnt:
   There are many more types of engineering than we initially thought
   You don’t necessarily have to study the same branch of engineering at university that you want to do later in life
   Engineering is much more difficult than we initially predicted as there are so many aspects to consider when
    carrying out each project
   The design of the building is not the only consideration which the client may wish engineers to consider. Things like
    sustainability, BREEAM rating and environmental effects of a project are just as important.
