The Practice was responsible for the design and monitoring of the refurbishment of the kitchen facilities. This covered all aspects of the mechanical, electrical and public health services, covering the full kitchen and dishwashing areas. The hotel catering operation had to be maintained during the course of the works, presenting a number of technical challenges that had to be overcome.
The refurbishment provides office space, along with the ground floor being granted A1 retail use. High-level exposed services were designed to give an industrial warehouse feel. The offices are heated and cooled by independent variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air source heat pump systems and illuminated by suspended linear LED fittings.
The Fitzrovia W1 is an 88,000 sq. ft. mixed-use scheme at 247 Tottenham Court Road.
