Practice Profile

David J. Stewart Associates is an RIBA Chartered Practice and was established in

October 1984 in Banbury, Oxfordshire, UK. David Stewart was given the opportunity to acquire the English office of McAlister Armstrong and Partners in 1984 having joined them in 1979. Under the direction of David Stewart, the Practice grew steadily and occupied period premises at Hightown Road, until 2004. In 2004 the Practice moved into new bespoke office space on the Hightown Road site, which was been developed to ensure potential for further controlled growth. In 2015 the Practice moved away from Hightown Road into serviced offices in Bloxham. The development of our Commercial Client base has included commissions from a number of Nationally based Companies with development requirements throughout the U.K. The Practice has adopted a policy of immediate response to accommodate these Client requirements and has continued to invest for growth. During the early 1990's as recession began to affect the Construction Industry, the Practice was fortunate to retain a healthy project portfolio with its existing Motor Trade Clients. As the quantity of commercial projects began to diminish our expertise in Automotive projects enabled us to progress whilst others were regressing. This continued work allowed us to retain our full compliment of experienced staff and to build upon our specialisation at a time when there was a real requirement for Architectural Practices to be able to demonstrate specialist skills in a particular field. During 1992 and 1993, we demonstrated our commitment to Quality by being one of the first architectural practices in the UK to register and develop procedures under BS5750 (now ISO 9001:2008). This work was rewarded with third party accreditation by Lloyds Register Quality Assurance Ltd. in July 1993 and upgraded to the ISO 9001:2008 standard. Our Quality Policy reflects our commitment to Client satisfaction. DJSA are also members of Constructionline relating to their desired technical,

managerial and financial standards and have been awarded their Qualification Certificate under the disciplines of Architecture and Project Management. The Practice builds upon its awareness of current and rapidly changing legislation. Our commitment to I.T. ensures that we keep pace with technical advances and legislative changes.

DJSA comprises of fully qualified Architects, senior Architectural Assistants, and junior Architectural Assistants with administrative support. We also work with experienced Consultant Architects who help support our workload when required. This allows DJSA as a practice to be flexible, responsive and maintain quality. In maintaining our ISO 9001 Quality Management procedures and the requirements of a Chartered Practice we promote continuing professional development throughout all levels within the practice.

Environmental Policy Statement

As Architects David J Stewart Associates acknowledges the need to limit the effects

of its business activities on the Environment and to actively pursue a policy of reduction in energy usage and emissions of Greenhouse Gases that contribute to Global Warming. We aim to implement all reasonably practicable measures to prevent pollution to the environment and comply with all current environmental regulations, legislation and other requirements.

Ensure that we meet or exceed all relevant and current environmental legislation and other requirements regarding our business operations.

Strive to ensure that all our wastes are handled, stored and disposed of as required not only by current legislation but as examples of best practice. Work to reduce the amount of waste produced in terms of both office and other waste. Investigate all opportunities for increasing recycling initiatives

Investigate measures which would reduce the consumption of raw materials

Strive to minimise the risk of pollutant disposal to water, land and air

Provide appropriate training to our employees to enable them to implement this environmental policy. Communicate this policy to contractors as well as our own employees.

Minimise the environmental impact of our business operations as guided by the international standard for environmental management systems BS EN ISO14001:2004

Exercise control as far as possible, over the environmental impacts arising as a result of work being undertaken on our behalf by our subcontractors, suppliers and maintenance contractors

Undertake a review of this policy in light of any new knowledge, changing legislation, environmental impacts or public concerns.

Strive to achieve continual improvement with regard to environmental management.



Environmental Policy – Implementation

David J Stewart Associates recognise that the products of our designs will have a

greater environmental impact than our own operations therefore we are further committed to exercising our professional skills in such a way as to minimise environmental impact in so far as this is possible within the instructions received from our clients. Implementing our environmental policy on projects, and establishing design principles with efficient energy systems and responsible selection of materials, can lead to environmentally responsible developments. We have successfully applied these criteria to motor dealerships which results in energy savings of 10% and above. Key design measures that can be used are:

Summertime temperature control can be primarily provided by high and low level ventilation, however wet underfloor systems can have the facility to provide chilled water to showroom areas via heat pump systems. Providing cool water to underfloor pipework can limit peak summer temperatures and prevent excessive space temperatures and the need for air conditioning.

Exposed concrete slabs at ground level to increase buildings thermal mass thus allowing beneficial use of solar gains to moderate temperature change, and thus reducing peak heating and cooling demands

Provision of shading on the external façade providing reduced solar gain and peak internal temperatures

Natural ventilation of showroom to reduce cooling energy use, including night time ventilation to maximise the benefit from lower night time temperatures to cool the exposed thermal mass.

Improved lighting control and lamp efficiency

The local climatic conditions can lead to choices in renewable energy technologies to reduce carbon emissions

Solar collectors for hot water generation to be used throughout the building

Photovoltaic panels for the generation on electricity on site helping to meet energy demands

Ground source heat pumps (or option for air sourced heat pumps) can be utilised to transfer stored energy in the earth for the cooling/heating of wet underfloor pipework

Wind turbines in certain locations for the onsite generation of electricity

essentially single storey construction. The whole of the internal ground and first floor

office accommodation was demolished together with a single leaf internal wall

presently separating the Workshop from the Cleaning Bays and the small external

Plant room lean-to structure. The existing roller shutter doors were removed and

stored for reuse during the construction works. Additional external walls and sheeting

were removed.

The renovated building comprises a Showroom, Offices, Workshops and Stores.

The overall brief is to bring a much improved appearance to the elevations, to reflect

the aspirations for the facility of Land Rover, and also the requirements of the Local

Authority Planning Department.

The retained building was extended to the western side with a steel framed structure

consisting of a combination of brick masonry and profiled metal sheeting to form

relocated Wash and Cleaning Bays. The northern and eastern sides by means of a

crank glazed extensions, with a new Entrance. The roof sheeting is to be retained

Client: TH White Holdings


Location: Wootton Bassett



Mercedes Benz Shrewsbury

A new motor dealership development for the Mercedes Benz Brand. The dealership includes provision for the sales and service of vehicles and associated preparation works and valeting. The positioning of the building was carefully considered in relation to many parameters. The desire to form a prominent ‘Gateway’ building to Enterprise roundabout along with the need to address the function and movement within the site. The relationship of vehicle display, customer parking and the link to the internal space and operation, have all directed the design process. The main elevations of the showroom are fully glazed and form the focus to both Enterprise roundabout and Vanguard Way. Allowing for Transporters and other vehicles to circumnavigate the site there is a separating distance created between the island vista and the building. This area whilst having a functional aspect also clears the view of the building from the island, opening the building visibly and access for pedestrians and cyclists from Enterprise roundabout. Leading from Vanguard Way is the main elevation and highly visible proscenium

entrance arch. As the setting of the building is governed by the corner on the island.

It allows the building to sit further back from Vanguard Way for an enhanced vista

and keeping some context with other sites and motor dealerships in the area. The

space created around the building by its position forms the setting for this ‘Gateway’

structure.

The blue proscenium entrance archway focuses the symmetry of the main entrance and provides a statement. The colinade and over sailing roof gives depth and interest to the elevation in front of the full height of glazed curtain walling showcasing the product. The remainder of the building being more functional represents the working side of the development. Composite cladding laid horizontally with matching vehicle and pedestrian entrances. The Prep Building follows a similar form of a simple language reflecting the ‘working’ nature of the use. The Prep Building and east facing showroom where no first floor area is required have been lowered. This area of roof provides an opportunity for external plant to be hidden behind a parapet detail.

Client: Drayton Group


Location: Shrewsbury, Shropshire
