Watkins Payne carried out the Independent Design Reviewer role for Red Lion Court, a mixed use commercial office development, located in central London.
A single stage formal review was conducted for the project which is targeting a 5.0 Star Rating.
Watkins Payne was commissioned to design a Cat A fit-out refurbishment across the existing 11,800sq.ft building. The ground floor was completely redeveloped with a new office entrance lobby and 1,300sq.ft new retail space.
Academy House was refurbished to provide 22,100ft² of high quality office accommodation. Watkins Payne supplied building services engineering which saw the 3rd to 6th floor including the ground floor reception of Academy House converted into open plan office areas and reception. This became the London headquarters for Sports Direct.
The development at Portland House will comprise circa 300,000ft² of primary office led accommodation together with retail and amenity space.
32 Duke Street in the heart of St James’s, the contemporary development known as The Marq comprises mixed use accommodation, with A1 and A3 retail units across ground and basement floors and 35,460ft2 of office space on six upper levels.
The project also involved the refurbishment of the reception space and improvement of the cycle store entrance and wayfinding at basement level.
