We were commissioned by Dunedin Property as part of an ongoing process
to upgrade office and retail facilities at the Artizan Centre in Dumbarton.
The project had various aspects, the first being an enhancement of the
urban realm of the open mall. This involved the design of bespoke street
furniture, hard and soft landscaping, means of enclosure and portable
kiosk units.
Alongside this was the conversion of storage areas to office
space and associated reworking
of retail units. Although modest in ambition the office conversion was an
exercise in innovatively meeting tight budget constraints.
We achieved this
through targeting spend on key areas whilst driving out cost from areas of
less importance whilst employing inventive solutions to re-organise the building’s
restrictive structure and geometry.
PMP Architecture’s ongoing research
into sustainable issues allowed us to adopt an affordable application of
a green agenda to minimize heat loss and running costs.
