Sustainability
The two unit 161,000ft² Skyline development for SEGRO plc provides well connected Grade A logistics, distribution and warehousing facilities as it is adjacent to Heathrow Airport and the immediate motorway and rail networks.
Constructed on a design and build basis with the office accommodation fitted out to Category A standard, the project benefits from sustainability initiatives including LED lighting with occupancy detection and daylight dimming controls, solar thermal hot water heating, air source heat pumps and photovoltaic panels, all combining to provide an A rated EPC and a ‘Very Good’ rating under BREEAM New Construction 2014.
The completed site now comprises four detached industrial warehouse units ranging from 14,000sq ft to 36,000sq ft, all with naturally ventilated and heated offices. The two larger units each have an 8 person MRL passenger lift, while the smaller units have been provided with platform lifts. The warehouse area was designed as a shell for future fit-out with capped off utility services.
St James’s Market Phase 2 is the “pioneer” related to the Design for Performance initiative and NABERS UK rating.
The Practice was responsible for designing and monitoring the refurbishment of the kitchen facilities.
Coda Studio, located in Fulham’s Munster Road, contains 57 self-contained office units providing rentable accommodation for various types of small businesses. An 8,600ft² section of the existing car park was reallocated for the development of a gym, lounge and meeting area, for which Watkins Payne supplied building services engineering.
This prestigious development is focused on delivering best-in-class workplace standards while achieving high levels of sustainability, occupant wellbeing and energy efficiency.
