Located in the heart of London’s West End, 9 Cavendish Square is undergoing a high-quality refurbishment to transform this prestigious address into a modern, efficient, and sustainable workplace. The works involve a full mechanical, electrical, and public health (MEPH) services upgrade to deliver a building that meets contemporary operational and environmental standards.
Sustainability is incredibly important for the Client and as such the building is BREEAM ‘Outstanding’, WELL ‘enabled’ Gold, alongside WiredScore Platinum. In addition, the Design for Performance approach is been adopted in order to minimise operational energy and hence carbon emissions.
The building has been meticulously refurbished to incorporate a range of sustainable features, targeting BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings.
Watkins Payne is proud to have been an integral part of the MEPH services, Vertical Transportation and sustainability BREEAM consultancy for the CAT A fit-out project at Pembroke Building, overseen by Cogent BC LLP.
