Watkins Payne Partnership has been part of a development team responsible for enabling works across a 27 acre site at Bumpstead Road, Haverhill, Suffolk to form a number of plots under a contract which started in 2015.

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.
Lighting is via LED high bay luminaires to the warehouse and recessed modular luminaires to the showroom and offices.
The building achieved a BREEAM rating of Very Good and an EPC rating of A.
Watkins Payne were commissioned to undertake the design and refurbishment of the 2 retail units, 15 residential units and office space.
Watkins Payne reviewed a number of mechanical and electrical options with the team, focusing on retention of key central plant, overhaul and replacement of plant where required, and LED lighting to reduce energy and improve the office environment.
The Practice was responsible for designing and monitoring the refurbishment of the kitchen facilities.
The refurbishment provides office space, along with the ground floor being granted A1 retail use. High-level exposed services were designed to give an industrial warehouse feel. The offices are heated and cooled by independent variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air source heat pump systems and illuminated by suspended linear LED fittings.
St Martin’s Courtyard is a beautiful open-air shopping and dining destination located in the heart of Covent Garden.
Unit 3 at Dorking Business Park has just received Practical Completion following a comprehensive refurbishment.
