With wellbeing as their priority, architectsLifschutz Davidson Sandilandshave created a highly desirable place to work. Enhanced fresh-air systems, a building app and roof terraces are just some of the building facilities designed to improve the day-to-day wellbeing of its occupiers.
Sustainability was also high on the agenda, and the building includes photovoltaic panels installed alongside a biodiverse green roof including bug hotels, bird and bat roosting spaces, and two bee colonies. The building was assessed as BREEAM Outstanding (2018) with an EPC ‘A' rating at design stage.
Looking specifically at the bathrooms, greywater is collected from most of the showers and some of the taps. This greywater, together with rainwater, is then organically treated within the building and recycled to feed all of the toilet flushing systems.
Several components from theSchlüter-KERDIrange were chosen to ensure a reliable, waterproof installation, including the Schlüter-KERDI waterproofing membrane,Schlüter-KERDI-KERECKpre-formed external and internal corners,Schlüter-KERDI-MV pipecollars andSchlüter-KERDI-KEBAsealing band, all finished with the sealant adhesiveSchlüter-KERDI-COLL-L.
The floor drain systemsSchlüter-KERDI-LINEprovide simple and guaranteed bonded waterproofing to the building drains with the ready-to-tile shower board Schlüter-KERDI-SHOWER-LTSensuring the quick and reliable creation of the necessary slope for appropriate shower drainage.
If you're wondering where the new building name comes from, JJ Mack was the owner of a grocery store that was formerly located on the corner of the site. The bold graphics on the new building are inspired by the original JJ Mack and Sons signage, and a plaque in the entrance lobby remembers those who lost their lives when the original building was bombed during World War II.
With its rich past, there's no doubt that the smart and sustainable JJ Mack Building is also well set for the future.
