Rome House
New build residential development providing 142 units over 3 blocks up to 16 storeys in height.
Located in the heart of Slough, the office building at 25 Windsor Road has been transformed.
The Client’s desire to improve the floor plate and create sub-tenancy flexibility drove the design to enhance the atrium and rationalise the cores to deliver improved net to gross efficiency.
The development has added a new floor with west facing terrace, together with a modern reception, so that more than 108,000ft² of office space is now provided over six floors wrapped around the central atrium.
The building uses a reverse cycle variable refrigerant flow (VRF) heat pump system to provide the office area heating and cooling. The efficiencies thus provided, along with ventilation heat recovery, LED lighting and sophisticated lighting controls and the building envelope thermal performance, have all enabled the building to achieve a Very Good BREEAM rating and an A rated EPC.

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.
The Minerva House redevelopment works will include the partial demolition of the existing building and extension comprising of additional upper floors and a new lower ground floor.
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.
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.
