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.
September 2017 saw the completion of the first building on the site, which is a 20,000ft2 warehouse for the end user MKM Building Supplies.
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.
The exposed services strategy implemented at Fortess Grove compliments the industrial nature of the building. Cycling facilities are provided along with showers and lockers at ground floor level accessed directly from the rear of the building along Railey Mews. The development achieved a WiredScore certification of ‘Gold’ and a B rated Energy Performance Certification.
Unit 3 at Dorking Business Park has just received Practical Completion following a comprehensive refurbishment.
The building has been transformed to provide a 133 bedroom hotel including car and cycle parking on site.
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.
The office building has achieved a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating with ‘Very Good’ ratings for the retail units.
