Design Confidence ensured the project sets new benchmarks in both luxury and safety, embodying the core values of the Dorchester Collection, where elegance meets excellence in every aspect, including fire and life safety.
The Lana and The Residences, part of the prestigious Dorchester Collection, is an exclusive development located in one of the most sought-after areas. The project is an exemplary blend of luxury, design, and cutting-edge architecture, providing an unmatched living experience for residents. This new establishment, a beacon of contemporary opulence, incorporates advanced safety features, particularly in fire and life safety systems.
Design Confidence, a leading firm in fire engineering and life safety consultancy, plays a crucial role in ensuring that the development meets the highest safety standards. Their involvement is centred around providing specialised advisory services across all stages of the project, from initial design concepts to final implementation. The team has worked closely with architects and engineers to develop fire safety strategies that complement the unique design and aesthetics of the building while adhering to stringent UK regulations.
Fire engineering principles were incorporated from the outset, with Design Confidence conducting comprehensive risk assessments and developing a tailored fire strategy. This includes the specification of advanced fire detection and suppression systems, fire-resistant materials, and efficient evacuation protocols. Their expertise has been pivotal in ensuring that the building’s design, both interior and exterior, does not compromise safety, while maintaining the high level of luxury expected in a Dorchester Collection property.
In addition to fire engineering, Design Confidence has provided ongoing specialised advisory services throughout the construction phase, ensuring that all fire safety measures are correctly installed and operational. Their role extends to ongoing reviews and adjustments to ensure compliance with safety regulations as they evolve, ensuring that The Lana and The Residences remain a safe and secure environment for its residents.
