6-10 Market Road
6-10 Market Road is an office building which was originally constructed in 1989. Watkins Payne were commissioned to design a Cat B fit out refurbishment of the area for a single tenant.
Following the successful refurbishment and fit-out of the lower ground and ground floors as a separate project, the team responsible for delivering Multistory at 2 Colmore Row commenced a phased refurbishment of the building’s extensive upper-floor office accommodation.
As tenant spaces became vacant, refurbishment works were undertaken across the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th floors, together with the entirety of the 6th floor.
The MEP scope included the installation of a new VRF heating and cooling system, integrated with floor-by-floor ventilation systems using heat recovery units. The project also delivered new energy-efficient LED lighting with intelligent lighting controls, alongside a fully upgraded fire alarm system. Exposed services were adopted to align with the architectural requirements which meant a heightened level of coordination and attention to detail throughout the MEP installation. This collaborative approach has resulted in a striking aesthetic with the building services forming an integral part of the overall design.
In addition to delivering the MEP services, Watkins Payne were appointed as the project’s BREEAM Assessor. The refurbishment is on track to achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’ reflecting the projects strong sustainability credentials.
The completion of this phase marks the culmination of several years of involvement with the building, however there remains the potential for future Cat B fit-out works on some of the lower floors, combining elements of the previous projects to accommodate an incoming tenant.
