A wealth of experience in exposed services projects has enabled Watkins Payne to provide the highest level of specification for the refurbishment of over 50,000ft² of office space at 101 New Cavendish Street in London.
The exposed metal clad services, LED lighting and multi-service chilled beams have created an exciting modern office space perfect for the technology, media and telecoms sector, featuring the intricate detailing and finishes that give an exceptional aesthetic appearance.
Design and BREEAM consultancy services were provided from conception to completion, and the project achieved a BREEAM rating of Excellent. During the installation process all elements of the exposed services were designed and installed in a uniform and homogenous arrangement to create a standardised finish throughout the floor plate. Floor to ceiling heights have been maximised and core area facilities were reconfigured. Additional changing room and shower facilities have been provided in the basement and the reception area has been completely refurbished.
As the works were carried out whilst other floors remained occupied, the systems were designed to enable isolations and recommissioning without affecting the business activities of all the existing tenants.
Located in the heart of London’s West End, 9 Cavendish Square is undergoing a high-quality refurbishment to transform this prestigious address into a modern, efficient, and sustainable workplace. The works involve a full mechanical, electrical, and public health (MEPH) services upgrade to deliver a building that meets contemporary operational and environmental standards.
