Scottish Design Awards 2020

Scottish Design Awards

Bell Street Stables

Bell Street has won an Affordable Housing Award at the Scottish Design Awards, along with a Commendation in the Building Re-Use category. The project has also previously won a GIA ‘Special’ Conservation Award in 2019 and is nominated for the Scottish Home Awards 2020 - Renovation of the Year.

Hulley & Kirkwood were appointed as sub-consultant to G3 Consultants to join a professional design team tasked with the refurbishment of the former B-Listed Bell Street Stables, (a Victorian horse stables block), into a £7M residential development comprising 52 one and two bedroom flats on behalf of the Wheatley Group.

We were responsible for the full design of all MEP services on the project from its inception to completion which included developing new multi-utilities solution including Water, Gas, Electric and Telecoms to support the change of use of the existing building and full Mechanical & Electrical Services Design to serve all dwellings and communal areas both internally and externally.

A complete M&E services design to suit the change of use was applied throughout the development providing all dwellings with the standard of service provision expected in modern dwellings including gas combi-boiler heating, fibre broadband connection, electronic door entry/resident access control and access to a communal lift installed within a stand-alone structure within the courtyard.

RICS Social Awards North West 2020

RICS Social Awards North West 2020

Alliance Manchester Business School

The Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS) has won an award at the RICS Social Impact Awards North West 2020 in the Education Sector. They also won a design excellence award last year at the Insider North West Property Awards.

AMBS is the largest campus-based business and management school in the UK, with approximately 2,000 students and over 200 teaching staff. The project included extensive remodelling and refurbishment of the existing Business School, to provide significant modernisation and improvements to its teaching and administrative accommodation, and a new library and enterprise zone, as well as updated catering facilities hosting a mix of high quality brands and amenities.

One of the more significant elements of the project’s objectives was to remove the large, over-bearing bridge structure that crossed Oxford Road. The bridge acted as a link between the campus buildings on either side of the road, providing a physical route for several of the university’s essential M&E services to cross including fibre optic links serving the site wide campus, 2000 pair copper telecommunication cables, site wide campus CCTV via coaxial and fibre, and heating mains distributed from the Manchester Business School building’s steam energy centre.

Hulley and Kirkwood’s appointment as mechanical, electrical, and sustainable engineers also included BREEAM assessor role, cost consultation and vertical passenger transportation duties.

The judges said:

The business school forms part of the entrance to the Manchester University Campus and has undergone a significant redevelopment which has transformed the gateway to the campus and the surrounding built environment. Whilst very much a functional space, the redevelopment has created a space which benefits the students, staff and the wider community. The works involved transforming the old, dated educational facilities into a bright, usable space, allowing teaching to be conducted in an open environment, improving collaboration amongst teaching staff. The use of light and sustainable building materials creates the perfect environment for the building’s educational needs. The outdoor space and surrounding commercial uses have been re-energised, encouraging dwell time for students, staff and local people. The design has improved connectivity to students and staff alike, the benefit being to the wider Manchester University and business users, not just the business school.

RICS Social Impact Awards Scotland 2020

The Event Complex, Aberdeen

Hulley & Kirkwood were delighted to be part of the team who won an award at the first digital RICS Social Impact Awards Ceremony in Scotland for The Event Complex, Aberdeen (Commercial). The awards recognise built environment's positive and transformational contribution to society and this initiative showcases the very best from across Scotland.

TECA, a world-class £333 million events and leisure complex, was completed on time and on budget, with phenomenal social impact for Aberdeen City Council, end users, the community and the environment. To deliver a leisure project of this scale – a build programme of 156 weeks, 3.2 million man-hours and partnering with over 100 contractors – is a remarkable achievement and testament to the strong collaboration among the team.

Hulley & Kirkwood successfully delivered the following MEP design services for the project:

  • BIM Delivery Model
  • Energy Modelling  (Dynamic Thermal Simulation)
  • Approved Certifier of Design (Energy), Section 6 Technical Standards
  • EPC Analysis
  • BREEAM Excellent MEP Compliance 
  • Electrical Services Design
  • Mechanical and Public Health Services Design

The judges said:

"The project was a £333 million delivery of leisure and events space and demonstrated very good collaboration with a range of stakeholders and was delivered on time and budget. The commercial build has good links with RICS professionals, and the scale of the build necessitated some innovative design and build solutions".

P&J Live has also won three awards at The Aberdeen Society of Architects Design Awards 2020 for Sustainability; Commercial and Urban Realm & Landscape categories, along with an award at the Scottish Property Awards 2020 for Development of the Year (Commercial).

RICS Social Impact Awards Scotland 2020

The Fraser Centre, Tranent

Hulley & Kirkwood were delighted to be part of the team who won an award at the first digital RICS Social Impact Awards Ceremony in Scotland for The Fraser Centre, Tranent (Leisure). The award recognises built environment's positive and transformational contribution to society and this initiative showcases the very best from across Scotland.

The Fraser Centre Community Trust was formed with the vision to create a centre for learning, development, arts & entertainment providing a place to bring people together and form community spirit in the heart of Tranent. The Trust utilised the former Winton Cinema which opened in 1922 and closed in 1972.  After extensive surveys, the decision was made to rebuild rather than refurbish due to the condition of the building and challenges to achieve the required community impact within the existing floor layouts.

Hulley and Kirkwood carried out the Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health design services undertaken to provide a modern, efficient, reduced carbon energy solution for the building engineering services.

The judges said:

"The New Fraser Centre has transformed the availability and quality of community leisure opportunities in Tranent.  The new facility has been developed on the site of the previous facility, a former cinema that was inherently compromised and ultimately condemned as not fit for purpose.  The new centre provides high quality flexible spaces, a cinema, café and small commercial office units within a simple new building.  It delivers more than the sum of its parts, and transformational the benefit to the Tranent community".

The Herald Property Awards for Scotland 2016

Campbeltown Town Hall Conservation and Regeneration

Campbeltown Town Hall Conservation and Regeneration Project has recently won a Judges Special Award at the Herald Property Awards 2016.  This is a fantastic recognition for the sensitive restoration of this wonderful building at the heart of the local community.

A lottery grant was awarded to restore the historic town hall in Campbeltown, Argyll. Campbeltown Town Hall refurbishment is a community hub with offices to rent, conference and meeting facilities and a one-stop-shop for accessing services for local organisations and community activities.

This is a key element and focal point of the regeneration of Campbeltown town centre, with the Council eager to see the building operated by and for the benefit of the community, generating activity in the town centre and giving local people a community asset they can be proud of.

At the early stages of the project, Hulley and Kirkwood carried out renewable energy option studies with simple payback analysis. Annual energy consumption profiles were also created from which a mixed fuel strategy was developed in order to allow the Town Hall to obtain a new gas connection from the local town mains which has restricted capacity for new connections.

The building services have been designed to be as sympathetic as possible to the original features, including the refurbishment of existing ventilators and ornate light fittings. Simple to use, robust system choices feature throughout to avoid creating a complex maintenance burden on the Trust who will be responsible for the operation of the facility.

Lancashire Country Cricket Club

The new revitalised, renamed and radically transformed Emirates Old Trafford, Lancashire County Cricket Club has been awarded Project of the Year at the Stadium Business Awards 2014.  The Lancashire venue has hosted some of the most exciting matches in cricket history. The £20m redevelopment of the Old Trafford cricket ground has metamorphosed the historic venue into one of the country’s premier sporting destinations with two new grandstands, a revamp of the existing pavilion (with 15,000 seats extendable to 25,000 seats), state of the art new player and media facilities, a big screen and advanced floodlighting.  The wicket was also re-orientated to run north-south for the first time in 150 years. The new facilities were set to the highest new standards for International cricket providing a host of new educational and training opportunities for the local community.

Hulley & Kirkwood provided the M&E design system with sustainable features such as rainwater harvesting; solar hot water, low energy lighting, super insulation and inverter driven displacement ventilation. To provide the flexibility required, large power supplies were distributed within the raised floors to serve each of the suite split options; there are lighting control systems to each area and an in house PA system for speech and background music. H&K also provided the design of the new permanent floodlighting system consisting of four 53 metre high masts each with 107No. 1.5kW lamp “Green Generation” luminaires. Spill light was a key concern for this installation, not least due to its neighbouring residential situation; this has been successfully dealt with using luminaire light direction controllers and gun-sight aiming of the point sources.

Alliance Manchester Business School

The Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS) has won an award at the RICS Social Impact Awards North West 2020 in the Education Sector. They also won a design excellence award last year at the Insider North West Property Awards.

AMBS is the largest campus-based business and management school in the UK, with approximately 2,000 students and over 200 teaching staff. The project included extensive remodelling and refurbishment of the existing Business School, to provide significant modernisation and improvements to its teaching and administrative accommodation, and a new library and enterprise zone, as well as updated catering facilities hosting a mix of high quality brands and amenities.

One of the more significant elements of the project’s objectives was to remove the large, over-bearing bridge structure that crossed Oxford Road. The bridge acted as a link between the campus buildings on either side of the road, providing a physical route for several of the university’s essential M&E services to cross including fibre optic links serving the site wide campus, 2000 pair copper telecommunication cables, site wide campus CCTV via coaxial and fibre, and heating mains distributed from the Manchester Business School building’s steam energy centre.

Hulley and Kirkwood’s appointment as mechanical, electrical, and sustainable engineers also included BREEAM assessor role, cost consultation and vertical passenger transportation duties.

The judges said:

The business school forms part of the entrance to the Manchester University Campus and has undergone a significant redevelopment which has transformed the gateway to the campus and the surrounding built environment. Whilst very much a functional space, the redevelopment has created a space which benefits the students, staff and the wider community. The works involved transforming the old, dated educational facilities into a bright, usable space, allowing teaching to be conducted in an open environment, improving collaboration amongst teaching staff. The use of light and sustainable building materials creates the perfect environment for the building’s educational needs. The outdoor space and surrounding commercial uses have been re-energised, encouraging dwell time for students, staff and local people. The design has improved connectivity to students and staff alike, the benefit being to the wider Manchester University and business users, not just the business school.

Hulley & Kirkwood were delighted to be part of the team who won an award at the first digital RICS Social Impact Awards Ceremony in Scotland for The Fraser Centre, Tranent (Leisure). The award recognises built environment's positive and transformational contribution to society and this initiative showcases the very best from across Scotland.

The Fraser Centre Community Trust was formed with the vision to create a centre for learning, development, arts & entertainment providing a place to bring people together and form community spirit in the heart of Tranent. The Trust utilised the former Winton Cinema which opened in 1922 and closed in 1972.  After extensive surveys, the decision was made to rebuild rather than refurbish due to the condition of the building and challenges to achieve the required community impact within the existing floor layouts.

Hulley and Kirkwood carried out the Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health design services undertaken to provide a modern, efficient, reduced carbon energy solution for the building engineering services.

The judges said:

"The New Fraser Centre has transformed the availability and quality of community leisure opportunities in Tranent.  The new facility has been developed on the site of the previous facility, a former cinema that was inherently compromised and ultimately condemned as not fit for purpose.  The new centre provides high quality flexible spaces, a cinema, café and small commercial office units within a simple new building.  It delivers more than the sum of its parts, and transformational the benefit to the Tranent community".

MSA Awards 'Building of the Year' 2017

Stubbs Mill, Manchester

This former textile machine factory had long stood derelict and was seen as a perfect addition to the Urban Splash portfolio in light of its size, potential, character and location. In conjunction with the award winning architect and client team, Hulley & Kirkwood provided M&E design to the complete £3m regeneration of this 2,500m² property.

The building has been extremely carefully modernised without losing any of its character and now provides a fantastic commercial space complete throughout with hints of its former heritage and history; Hulley & Kirkwood are rightly proud to have been involved in the building’s regeneration.

The BCO compliant Cat A fitout now provides architectural suspended lighting and raised access floors with individually metered heating and power to the individual suites.

The project won the Manchester Architect's Award for 'Building of the Year' 2017 held on the 14th June at the 53Two venue space in the heart of Manchester's Deansgate.

Campbeltown Town Hall Conservation and Regeneration

Campbeltown Town Hall Conservation and Regeneration Project has recently won a Judges Special Award at the Herald Property Awards 2016.  This is a fantastic recognition for the sensitive restoration of this wonderful building at the heart of the local community.

A lottery grant was awarded to restore the historic town hall in Campbeltown, Argyll. Campbeltown Town Hall refurbishment is a community hub with offices to rent, conference and meeting facilities and a one-stop-shop for accessing services for local organisations and community activities.

This is a key element and focal point of the regeneration of Campbeltown town centre, with the Council eager to see the building operated by and for the benefit of the community, generating activity in the town centre and giving local people a community asset they can be proud of.

At the early stages of the project, Hulley and Kirkwood carried out renewable energy option studies with simple payback analysis. Annual energy consumption profiles were also created from which a mixed fuel strategy was developed in order to allow the Town Hall to obtain a new gas connection from the local town mains which has restricted capacity for new connections.

The building services have been designed to be as sympathetic as possible to the original features, including the refurbishment of existing ventilators and ornate light fittings. Simple to use, robust system choices feature throughout to avoid creating a complex maintenance burden on the Trust who will be responsible for the operation of the facility.

Stadium Business Awards 2014

Lancashire Country Cricket Club

The new revitalised, renamed and radically transformed Emirates Old Trafford, Lancashire County Cricket Club has been awarded Project of the Year at the Stadium Business Awards 2014.  The Lancashire venue has hosted some of the most exciting matches in cricket history. The £20m redevelopment of the Old Trafford cricket ground has metamorphosed the historic venue into one of the country’s premier sporting destinations with two new grandstands, a revamp of the existing pavilion (with 15,000 seats extendable to 25,000 seats), state of the art new player and media facilities, a big screen and advanced floodlighting.  The wicket was also re-orientated to run north-south for the first time in 150 years. The new facilities were set to the highest new standards for International cricket providing a host of new educational and training opportunities for the local community.

Hulley & Kirkwood provided the M&E design system with sustainable features such as rainwater harvesting; solar hot water, low energy lighting, super insulation and inverter driven displacement ventilation. To provide the flexibility required, large power supplies were distributed within the raised floors to serve each of the suite split options; there are lighting control systems to each area and an in house PA system for speech and background music. H&K also provided the design of the new permanent floodlighting system consisting of four 53 metre high masts each with 107No. 1.5kW lamp “Green Generation” luminaires. Spill light was a key concern for this installation, not least due to its neighbouring residential situation; this has been successfully dealt with using luminaire light direction controllers and gun-sight aiming of the point sources.
