Thirty High
The development at Thirty High will comprise circa 300,000ft² of primary office led accommodation together with retail and amenity space.
Situated in the heart of the vibrant hustle and bustle of Carnaby Street in London, 36 Carnaby Street has been refurbished to an exceptional standard and brings further greenery to London’s roofscape with a living wall at the top of the building. The office space is fitted out to a Category A standard and makes effective use of the height in the space through the use of exposed services.
The refurbishment has adjusted the temperature control zones to align with the latest BCO recommendation.
The servicing strategy for the office areas is as follows:
• Comfort cooling and heating via Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) serving on-floor VRF fan coil units within the BCO temperature control zones
• Fresh air is supplied via the existing central air handling plant located within the roof plant compound drawing fresh air in and exhausting vitiated air directly to the atmosphere
• Domestic hot water via existing calorifier served by LTHW boiler
• Individual tenant distribution boards and telecoms infrastructure to meet the needs of the incoming tenants and provide them with flexibility for fit out and small power
• New LED lighting throughout to meet with the desired aesthetic carefully thought out and coordinated by the design team to provide a finish we are immensely proud of.
The building is projected to achieve BREEAM RFO 2014 ‘Excellent’ and achieved an improved ‘A’ rated EPC as a result of the new equipment, lighting and lighting control measures.
The development at Thirty High will comprise circa 300,000ft² of primary office led accommodation together with retail and amenity space.
The project also involved the refurbishment of the reception space and improvement of the cycle store entrance and wayfinding at basement level.
The completed site now comprises four detached industrial warehouse units ranging from 14,000sq ft to 36,000sq ft, all with naturally ventilated and heated offices. The two larger units each have an 8 person MRL passenger lift, while the smaller units have been provided with platform lifts. The warehouse area was designed as a shell for future fit-out with capped off utility services.
Watkins Payne were commissioned to undertake the design and refurbishment of the 2 retail units, 15 residential units and office space.
The building has been meticulously refurbished to incorporate a range of sustainable features, targeting BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings.
The development is an 12 storey building comprising 13,475m2 (NIA) of office area over basement to eleventh floor and 141m2 of retail area located on ground floor.
