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.
Premier Inn has recently invested in the redevelopment of its Uxbridge hotel to provide increased accommodation options and better facilities for guests. To achieve this, a brand new 80-bed unit has been constructed.
The services design uses an all electric solution with air source heat pumps for heating, cooling, and hot water generation. Overall a low energy strategy had been delivered to minimise operational running costs.

Nash House is located on the corner of Maddox Street and St George Street in London and was constructed in 1980s. The site is right in front of the Garde I listed Church of St George and stone throw away from famous Handover Square. Currently ground floor is occupied by a retail tenant where the lower ground, 1st floor to 5th floor is office accommodation.
Situated just a stone’s throw away from Watford Junction station, the Egale 2 building has been tastefully renovated into a multi-tenanted office environment, with a floor by floor split for tenancies providing a total of 11,000sqft of office space over four floors.
The 47,900ft² area of The Smithson building in Farringdon was refurbished to high quality office accommodation, for which Watkins Payne supplied building services engineering, vertical transportation engineering and energy consultancy to achieve an EPC B rating. The refurbished area is spread across basement and ground floor.
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.
