Project: Design and implementation of a new, purpose built financial services building
Client: Link Interchange
Size: 35,000 sq ft
Status: Completed
The building is designed to reflect the hi-tech nature of the client organisation which occupies a unique position within the banking world, serving and linking together the ATM facilities of numerous High Street Banks.
As security is of vital importance, it drove many aspects of the design to ensure the absolute safety of the systems. The solid ground level plinth houses the Central Data Centre and primary building services. The other plant is located within a free-standing structure to the west of the main building.
The predominantly glazed office spaces are accommodated at first and second floor levels and gathered around a central atrium which draws in more natural light.
The light and airy nature of the office interior, exploiting to the full the fine views in all directions, has assisted the client to expand rapidly since occupying the building. The aesthetic treatment of the building quietly expresses the nature of the client’s business, while security issues are unobtrusively integrated.
Disability Action Yorkshire have a long relationship with SSA-Architects which began with the design of our residential home for younger adults with physical disabilities when they impressed us with their commitment to ensuring that the design aided full accessibility and independence. They have remained firm supporters of and amongst other events run an annual bike ride raising much needed funds to support our work. They show a genuine interest in our work and in the ongoing needs and aspirations of disabled people. We consider SSA-Architects to be true and valued friends of the charity.
