The development at Portland House will comprise circa 300,000ft² of primary office led accommodation together with retail and amenity space.

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 development at Portland House will comprise circa 300,000ft² of primary office led accommodation together with retail and amenity space.

This project is a mixed use office and retail scheme which consists of a new double height roof extension and new Green Wall on Carnaby Street located in the heart of London’s Soho.

The 7,600ft² area of 7 Bermondsey Street near London Bridge Station was refurbished to high quality office accommodation, for which Watkins Payne supplied building services engineering and vertical transportation engineering. The refurbished area is spread across basement and ground floor.

New build residential development providing 142 units over 3 blocks up to 16 storeys in height.

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.

Located to the east of Carnaby Street and part of the Shaftesbury portfolio, 57 Broadwick Street has undergone an extensive refurbishment of the office and retail podium area to provide new shell restaurant and retail units, two new apartments on the fourth floor, and 20,445sq.ft office accommodation on first, second, third and part fourth floors.
