1000 Hillswood Park office development is located in the public park of Homewood park in Chertsey, surrounded by beautiful greenery and wildlife. The three-story office refurbishment is provided with a semi-exposed ceiling solution with services above the rafts. The main entrance welcomes you into a triple height reception with soft seating and a café/reception space. As part of the refurbishment, a new cycle store and pergola for functions have been provided externally to the building.
Sustainability is high on the Clients’ agenda and the design at 1000 Hillswood Park reflects this. Services consist of air source heat pumps to provide comfortable cooling and heating along with heat recovery air handling units to deliver fresh air to the office areas. Photovoltaic panels reduce the dependency on the electrical grid with electric car charging facilities to meet future requirements.
1000 Hillswood Park targets BREEAM ‘Excellent’, EPC target of ‘A’ and a NABERS UK Design Reviewed Target Rating of 5.0 Stars. The up front Embodied Carbon of the development is also being assessed.
The refurbishment provides office space, along with the ground floor being granted A1 retail use. High-level exposed services were designed to give an industrial warehouse feel. The offices are heated and cooled by independent variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air source heat pump systems and illuminated by suspended linear LED fittings.
A Grade II Listed Building in the St James’s conservation area, 8 Waterloo Place has been refurbished to offer 22,500ft² of high quality office accommodation and 8,700ft² of restaurant shell unit, for which Watkins Payne supplied building services engineering, BREEAM duties and energy consultancy to achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and an EPC B rating.
