IDR - Independent Design Review
Seal House
Watkins Payne carried out the Independent Design Review role for Seal House, a commercial office development, located in central London.
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 Fitzrovia W1 is an 88,000 sq. ft. mixed-use scheme at 247 Tottenham Court Road.
Situated in Southwark on the intersection of Great Suffolk Street and Union Street, the iconic red brick Union House, historically a warehouse converted into offices, has undergone a substantial redevelopment.
The 7,600ft² area of 7 Bermondsey Street near London Bridge Station was refurbished to high quality office accommodation, for which Watkins Payne supplied building services engineering and vertical transportation engineering. The refurbished area is spread across basement and ground floor.
The speculative office space is fitted out to a Category A standard and will be British Council of Offices (BCO) Guide to Specification 2019 compliant. The refurbishment has adjusted the temperature control zones to pull them better in line with the BCO recommendations than currently provided.
