SM&W Contribution
Shen Milsom & Wilke (SM&W) provided acoustics and audiovisual design services for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM)’s London Office, located on Level 6 of the Broadgate Tower. Our firm was honored to support SOM in the design of their own space, which totaled 14,000 SF.
SM&W delivered RIBA Staged 2 through 6 for SOM. Spaces included a large town hall space, 6 small meeting rooms, 3 medium meeting rooms, 2 large meeting rooms, 1 extra-large meeting room, 6 telephone booths, and a partners conference room. It was SOM’s aspiration to make this floor an example of design engineering of the highest quality, as a beacon for clients and partners alike to see what a leading architect can deliver with the right team on board.
The acoustics were a particular focus for SOM, due to the high privacy expectations of cellular spaces, and the equivalently high expectations on the aesthetic of the entire floor. SM&W worked tirelessly with SOM’s designers, the MEP engineers of Buro Happold, and the lighting engineers of Nulty to ensure the very best outcomes were achieved across this fantastic project.
