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.
10 Fetter Lane needed some freshening up for marketing, so the first floor offices were to be modernised as a show stopper with a contemporary exposed services design and improved floor to ceiling height.
Located to the east of Carnaby Street and part of the Shaftesbury portfolio, 57 Broadwick Street has undergone an extensive refurbishment of the office and retail podium area to provide new shell restaurant and retail units, two new apartments on the fourth floor, and 20,445sq.ft office accommodation on first, second, third and part fourth floors.
The carbon neutral status was achieved by exemplary as-built air tightness facade solar and thermal performance significantly in excess of the Building Regulations requirements, highly energy efficient M&E systems, LED lighting and photovoltaic panel arrays on the roof of the warehouse.
This project is a mixed use office and retail scheme which consists of a new double height roof extension and new Green Wall on Carnaby Street located in the heart of London’s Soho.
The building at 20 St James’ Street has been refurbished to offer 53,295ft² of high quality office accommodation, for which Watkins Payne supplied building services engineering, vertical transportation engineering, BREEAM duties and energy consultancy to achieve an BREEAM ‘Very Good’ and EPC B rating.
Building 5 has been shortlisted for the BCO regional awards!
