贝克 & McKenzie律师事务所

贝克 & McKenzie律师事务所, 跨国律师事务所, marks a new chapter in London’s financial district with the inauguration of its office at 280 Bishopsgate. Designed to focus on collaboration, 客户接触, 可持续性, 和幸福, the office features dynamic workspaces and an open-plan layout to enhance teamwork and client interactions. It sets a new standard for legal working.

The basebuild redevelopment of 280 Bishopsgate added a rooftop terrace and expanded the usable space on Level 13, while it increasing the top floor height of the building to 52.7米. The building operates on a phased evacuation. 贝克 McKenzie offices take up space on Levels 7 through 12, a ground floor entrance and a portion of Level 13.

Jensen Hughes developed a fire safety strategy for 贝克 McKenzie’s fitout aspirations. Based on BS 9999: 2017 guidelines, our team of experts developed a fire strategy report to demonstrate compliance with both the Building Regulations and the base-build fire strategy for the building, which was provided by another fire consultancy. Alternative fire-engineered solutions were carried out to support a more efficient, aspirational design in lieu of code compliance while still achieving the requisite safety standard to meet the Building Regulations' functional requirements. A key feature of the design is an expansive open stair spanning between levels 7-11, penetrating through compartment floors.

除了, our team conducted a Structural 消防工程 (SFE) analysis on the unprotected non-structural secondary beams adjoining the primary structure in the 贝克 McKenzie office building. The study focuses on understanding the structural system's behavior when these secondary non-structural steel beams connected to the primary structure are left without protection. The team addressed the concerns raised by the approving authority about whether these secondary steel members could negatively impact the fire performance of the primary structural frame, which was fire-protected using a beam-clad system, possibly due to significant transformations in the secondary structures exposing the primary beams.

In collaboration with various stakeholders, 包括贝克·麦坚时, 第一太平戴维斯, 和梅斯内饰, we fitted out the offices to meet both fire safety and structural requirements. The office reflects 贝克 McKenzie's global 可持续性 goals, incorporating eco-friendly features such as Marmoleum flooring, 组合式办公椅, renewable electricity sources, 高效的技术. Jensen Hughes is proud to contribute to this team effort.
