61 Whitehall is the long term home since 1895 of the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) that needed a complete refurbishment and upgrade to suit its current day needs and operational requirements. The works to the Grade II* listed building included the addition of a new floor, fully refreshed library and function rooms, plus creation of a south facing dome that will be used for multiple different events using electrochromic glazing.
The MEP services were all replaced with a focus on energy efficiency using air source heat pumps, LED lighting and natural ventilation where possible. The services were designed to suit the bespoke fit out requirements of RUSI all integrated into the architectural features within the listed building.
The development Pegasus Mayfair is targeting a B rated EPC, BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and WELL ‘Gold’ and Watkins Payne is providing these services.
Garrick House formerly an office and educational facility is being converted…
The building is provided with natural ventilation and LTHW heating to the showroom and office areas, plus the toilets which also receive hot water from the same boiler installation.
The Practice was responsible for the design and site monitoring of the related mechanical, electrical and public health services installation.
