Aurora, Ealing

Client

Gross Internal Floor Area

The Aurora office building in Ealing has been given a whole new lease of life through a meticulous refurbishment process.

To ensure that the costs were within budget, Watkins Payne conducted a detailed survey, which informed the scope of the project and enabled the team to focus on the essential elements to create a fresh, new and modern product within the building.

The scope was then transformed into a set of Employer’s Requirements, and a design and build contract was placed. The new and improved building now features a completely new Category A fit-out across all five floors. Each floor uses an air source VRF heat pump system, which provides optimum comfort, energy efficiency and tenant billing ease. 

Furthermore, central plant and building-wide systems have either been replaced or refurbished to provide reliable and efficient services. Finally, new scenic passenger lifts have been installed in the atrium, linking up with the communal breakout space on the ground floor.
