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.
When Coverys signed the lease to occupy the sixth floor at 1 Creechurch Place in London EC3A, Watkins Payne were appointed building services consultants for Cat B fitout of the 16,000ft2 office areas, providing MEP systems and IT cabling design.
Watkins Payne carried out the Independent Design Review role for Red Lion Court, a mixed use commercial office development, located in central London.
We are looking forward to our continued involvement in the project, pending positive planning feedback.
The Bower office development in Stockley Park, near Heathrow, has been recognised as the best Refurbishment/Regeneration Outside Central London in the Office Agents Society Development Awards 2017.
11 Waterloo Place is located in St James’s London. The newly refurbished CAT A office space on the 1st floor is complete with amazing views of Big Ben and St James’s Park.
