The development at Dundee Street Edinburgh consists of a 225-bedroom student accommodation. The space is a multifunctional facility with communal spaces, car parking, social spaces and studios.
The project is located in the city centre with fantastic views of the Castle and Murrayfield.
We were appointed as Sustainability Consultants to conduct the Fitwel assessment.
A Fitwel certification demonstrates a commitment to higher sustainability performance and quality in the built environment and provides a credible assessment against best-practice standards in the industry. At Watkins Payne, we have a team of qualified Fitwel Ambassadors who provide support at every step of the assessment process.
We are happy to announce that Dundee Street has been awarded a Fitwel 1 Star Rating. This project incorporates several evidence-based design and operations strategies that support its occupants’ physical, mental and social health.

Acting on behalf of Oxford Properties the practice has undertaken both decarbonisation and Cat A refurbishment within the circa 350,000ft2 office led building while maintaining full operation for existing tenants throughout.
All MEP systems within One Hanover Street are being fully replaced, with new services distributed through the upgraded risers to each office floor. The refurbished building will benefit from high-efficiency heat-recovery systems, LED lighting throughout, intelligent lighting controls, a common network system and new fan-coil units among other modern building services upgrades.
This prestigious development is focused on delivering best-in-class workplace standards while achieving high levels of sustainability, occupant wellbeing and energy efficiency.
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.
