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 47,900ft² area of The Smithson building in Farringdon was refurbished to high quality office accommodation, for which Watkins Payne supplied building services engineering, vertical transportation engineering and energy consultancy to achieve an EPC B rating. The refurbished area is spread across basement and ground floor.

A wealth of experience in exposed services projects has enabled Watkins Payne to provide the highest level specification for the refurbishment of over 50,000ft² of office space at 101 New Cavendish Street in London.

Located in the heart of Slough, the office building at 25 Windsor Road has been transformed.

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.

Unit 8, in Tangmere Business Park near Chichester, has been provided with a complete refurbishment giving both the warehouse and associated office space attached a much needed re-fresh and new feel.
