Architects and designers to discuss sustainable renovation at RGU event
An event, co-hosted by RGU and The Pebble Trust, is set to discuss the major issues of climate change and fuel poverty, and the role architecture and innovative design can play in providing solutions.
image courtesy of article provider
‘Sustainable Renovation’, which takes place at RGU on Tuesday, November 19, will feature presentations from local architects and academics which focus on their work on renovation projects and present case studies on successful work carried out.
The event is aimed at everybody in the retrofit sector from private and public-sector landlords to architects, builders, surveyors and those interested in upgrading their own homes.
Dr Amar Bennadji, lecturer at the Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Built Environment, will talk about his retrofitting of an 18th century listed building, in which he managed to reduce heating energy by 56%.
He commented: “At a conservative estimate, £10 – £12 billion is to be spent improving the energy performance of Scottish homes to meet climate change and fuel poverty objectives.
“We are therefore entering a critical time for this topic and it is essential to ensure we make the most of this investment and that work is done efficiently and effectively.”
One of the speakers, Bob Pringle, will detail a private project to upgrade his own home, built in 1897, to reduce energy waste.
Bob commented: “With the need to stop using fossil fuel heating to safeguard our planet and to go instead for renewable electricity based and biomass heating systems, the need to minimise energy wastage is paramount. Reduced energy use in buildings has three benefits. It reduces the owner’s bills, it reduces the UK’s CO2 emissions and it reduces the need for the government to build electricity generating capacity.
“Architects and building surveyors have a role in both systemising the refurbishment of these old buildings and helping government introduce sensible measures that will encourage homeowners to refurbish their properties and reduce their energy usage.”
David Chouman, a chartered architect with Conservation Accreditation at Advanced Level, will present on his work on Haddo House and a private 16th Century home in Old Aberdeen.
“Renovating our built heritage is more important than ever now. Conservation architecture aims to retain existing buildings for cultural, social economic and environmental reasons, making them sound and useful while retaining their historical qualities in the long-term interests of society.
“Architects are ideally placed to be at the forefront of such a movement as a result of our training in the design, construction and adaptation of buildings, and with the support of professional membership organisations such as the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland.”

Aberdeen Union Terrace Gardens Renewal Design
Plans to transform Aberdeen’s Union Terrace Gardens into a year-round favourite city destination continue to move forward as the City Council publishes an amendment to the current detailed planning application for further comment.
Work begins on multimillion pound Green Infrastructure projects
4 Oct 2017 – Close to £20 million will be spent transforming urban green spaces, says Scottish Natural Heritage
Work has begun on one of seven major urban greenspace projects that have been awarded Green Infrastructure Funds (GIF) by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). SNH is delivering this funding on behalf of Scottish Government, using money from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
The Aberdeen City Council project is in one of Scotland’s most disadvantaged urban areas and, along with six other proposals, will benefit from a total investment of just under £20 million, including £5.8 million of ERDF awarded through the GIF.
The GIF aims to enhance the lives of those living in urban areas by improving the quality, accessibility and quantity of green infrastructure in major towns and cities, especially in areas with a deficit of greenspace for community use. As well as the development of derelict sites into natural spaces, the project will improve entrance points, paths, viewpoints and signage to enhance community access.
Mike Cantlay, Chair of Scottish Natural Heritage, said: “The impact of a robust green infrastructure on a community can be revolutionary, from improving physical and mental health, attracting business to an area, to reducing flood risk and improving biodiversity.
“The Green Infrastructure Fund provides a unique opportunity to create better places for people and wildlife on an unprecedented scale across urban Scotland. It is inspiring to see work begin on these exciting projects today in areas where this type of transformation is most needed.”
Aberdeen City Council communities, housing and infrastructure convener Councillor Yvonne Allan said: “It’s fantastic that work has started on the Middlefield Project as it will make a big difference in the lives of people who live in the area to have an attractive park on their doorstep.
“I look forward to watching the work progressing in the coming months and we are pleased to be working with our partners.”
SNH is working with Aberdeen City Council[1] to create a greenspace at Middlefield housing estate in Aberdeen that has been designed following a period of extensive community consultation. The current area of low amenity grass will be replaced with trees, wildflower meadows, grassland and flood management along with the addition of footpath and cycle paths, informal play areas and exercise trails.
Pittodrie Street Student Housing
Planning permission has been granted for 618 student bedspaces, designed by Manson Architects. This major residential scheme is situated on Pittodrie Street, in the north of Aberdeen, just half a mile from the University of Aberdeen. The development is split across two separate sites. Our client, Watkin Jones Group aims to have both aspects of the permission occupied by 2019 in a phased approach to construction.
The Pittodrie Street housing will offer students the opportunity to live just minutes from their place of study in high quality, purpose-built accommodation.
Drum Completes Sale at Prime Four Business Park, Kingswells
7 Apr – Lloyd’s Register Office sold for £43.2 million
Drum Property Group has completed the construction of a 102,000 square foot office at Prime Four Business Park, Kingswells, Aberdeen which LCN Capital Partners has acquired as part of a build-to-suit transaction for £43.2m.
The purpose-built complex is let on a long-term lease to Lloyd’s Register, the global engineering, technical and business services organisation, and has capacity for up to 900 employees.
Drum Property Group Managing Director Graeme Bone said: “Drum continues to experience strong interest in Prime Four from the UK and International investment markets and we are delighted to have concluded this transaction. We are also pleased to have worked with LCN in establishing a long-term relationship between all parties. They are easy to work with and set themselves apart as having complete discretion.
“Importantly, this latest deal is testament to our commitment to focusing on exemplar architectural, design and service culture principles at the park, which continues to prove largely immune to the cyclical vagaries of the Oil and Gas market.
“We will continue to invest at Prime Four, with plans for an adjacent £100m retail park in addition to the further expansion of the business park with additional office complexes, services and amenities.”
Drum’s total investment at Prime Four to date exceeds £275m and will rise to £600m with more than1.8 million sq. ft. of commercial accommodation being built once the park is completed.
Edward LaPuma, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at LCN Capital Partners added: “We distinguish ourselves in build-to-suit transactions across North America and Europe by being able to forward fund or close upon completion, and by offering our tenant-clients flexible solutions.
“We are pleased with our new relationship with Lloyds Register and know that they have benefitted from the extensive knowledge and development expertise of Drum Property Group.
“Lloyds Register’s long-term commitment to this new Class A property fits perfectly with the long-term goals of our investing partners, i.e. pension funds and insurers.”
FG Burnett, JLL and Ryden acted for Drum Property Group.
Cushman & Wakefield, Victorios, Brodies, and Arendt & Medernach acted for LCN Capital Partners.

BOOTS SIGNS UP FOR NEW PRIME FOUR RETAIL PARK, ABERDEEN
Boots UK has been confirmed as the latest high-profile retailer to sign up to the new £100 m retail park planned as an extension of the Prime Four Business Park in Kingswells, Aberdeen.
Drum, developer of Prime Four, has submitted an application to the City of Aberdeen Council for a 320,000 sqft retail development, including a food store, next to the existing business park. Next has already been confirmed as the first retailer on the park.
It is anticipated that the new, purpose-built retail park, will deliver significant economic benefits for Aberdeen – including an estimated 500 new jobs.
Welcoming a potential move to Prime Four, a spokesperson for Boots said: “At Boots UK, we are continually reviewing new locations to make sure our stores are where our customers need us most. We support the application from Drum Property Group for a new retail development in the Prime Four location, as the site has significant potential for Boots UK and other retailers should planning permission be granted.”
Graeme Bone, Group Managing Director of Drum Property Group, said: “Boots will be a natural fit for the new retail park and shows the potential it has for major retailers to complement existing retail provision across the rest of the city. We are currently in active discussions with a number of other retailers for the new retail park, some of whom are looking to expand their presence in Aberdeen, and others who are new to the city.”

Aberdeen Sports Village Aquatic Centre Building
The latest phase of a major sports village development has been completed: the £18.2m Aberdeen Sports Village Aquatic Centre.
The new Aquatic Centre includes a 10-lane, 50m Olympic standard pool with seating for 600 spectators, and a 25m x 16.5m Olympic standard diving pool.
“Providing acoustic treatment for large swimming pools such as this can be especially challenging, as they are generally busy places with lots of noise,” says Sto’s Acoustic Technical Consultant, Mike Wallace. “The internal environment is also warm, moist and chlorine-heavy, and this can present its own set of problems, so the acoustic system that’s chosen really has to be well-proven and reliable.”
The StoSilent acoustic ceiling solution chosen for the Aquatic Centre is designed especially for demanding environments such as swimming pools. It is based on a StoSilent suspended grid made from steel, which was specially coated to protect against corrosion. This was covered with StoSilent Panel A-Tec Alu acoustic boards. Made from blown glass granulate, these boards are impervious to moisture. They also feature a factory-applied backing laminate which allows the boards to attenuate sound waves, and equally, prevents any air from flowing through them and causing marking or staining on the completed ceiling. The boards were then coated with StoSilent Décor M – a sound-permeable silicate acoustic coating which creates a seamless, clean and attractive appearance.

However he insists new proposals – outlined by city architect John Halliday – must be “transformational”, reports the Press & Journal. Sir Ian Wood said the Halliday designs, which suggested raising the sunken Union Terrace Gardens to allow car parking underneath, did not go far enough: “Central to the Wood Family Trust’s interest in making the funds available is to cover the unsightly exposed Denburn Valley roadway and railway and the vastly underused Union Terrace Gardens. The proposal to raise the existing gardens to allow one level of car parking and taxi access for the station would effectively cost the same as raising it to provide street-level access and would have little impact on the extent to which the gardens are used because they would still be unacceptably ‘sunken’”. 16 Oct 2013

Union Terrace Gardens Proposals news
New proposals for a major renovation of Aberdeen’s Union Terrace Gardens have been unveiled. Architects Halliday Fraser Munro, working with Aberdeen City Council, has come up with a design which would see the gardens partly raised but remain sunken.

The designs also incorporate a new entrance to the railway station which is seen as key to increasing footfall in the area.

Indeed, why not? This was the initial plan and a fairly sensitive approach to this key urban location.

First Minister Alex Salmond Opens Archial-Designed £15 Million Aberdeen College Construction Training Facility
Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond today officially open the £15 million Aberdeen College Construction Training Facility building designed by Archial.
Designed as the new main building on the Altens campus to relocate construction trade courses onto the same site as engineering, the new facility contains workshops and classrooms for joinery, brickwork, painting and decorating, and plumbing courses, as well as a new library, learning resource centre, fitness suite and communal eating areas.
A key element of the design brief was that the building would incorporate all the elements required to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating. To that end, the building incorporates a variety of CO2-reducing measures including the installation of solar panels, a 25KW wind turbine, natural ventilation, modulated lighting, insulation levels higher than building regulations, and radiant heat in the workshops in place of blown heat. Rainwater is collected from the roof of the building for use in the toilet cisterns. 1 Mar

Aberdeen – Bastion for Quality Architecture?
A major campaign to boost the quality of architectural design could be launched in Aberdeen. Aberdeen City Council is aiming to link up with academics, architects, arts organisations, the private sector and the Scottish Government to drive up standards, and gain international recognition for Aberdeen as a ‘City of Design’. They will have a significant challenge ahead.
A report has been prepared by the head of planning and infrastructure, Dr Margaret Bochel. Aberdeen aims to be the first local authority in Scotland to produce a “Policy on Architecture” to pick up on key themes in national design policy. 110708

The Prince’s Trust invited architect Ray Gindroz, chairman of Urban Design Associates, Pittsburgh, to join the workshop and outline a future model for the town. Mr Gindroz identified numerous weaknesses in the town’s design, like cul-de-sacs with limited town centre access and large-scale housing developments rather than proper neighbourhoods.
