Pegasus Mayfair
The development Pegasus Mayfair is targeting a B rated EPC, BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and WELL ‘Gold’ and Watkins Payne is providing these services.
Vantage London, formerly occupied by Wimpey Construction, is a 12 storey landmark building overlooking the A4 flyover leading from the M4 into West London.
Last refurbished in the late 1980s, the offices were in need of modernisation to deliver energy savings. Watkins Payne were commissioned to develop several designs with the design team to upgrade in an economic manner that would provide interest and enhance the letting strategies.
Watkins Payne reviewed a number of mechanical and electrical options with the team, focusing on retention of key central plant, overhaul and replacement of plant where required, and LED lighting to reduce energy and improve the office environment.
The main entrance was completely refurbished with a new double height reception, and the ground floor was given greater visibility and user interest by adopting an exposed services solution separate from the upper floor office services strategy.
A gym, washrooms and shell restaurant were provided to serve the 115,000ft² of office accommodation.
The refurbishment was executed with partial tenant occupation, so communication and careful design and commissioning strategies were major considerations throughout the project.

The building services use a 4-pipe fan coil unit arrangement with various ventilation systems to suit the different use areas. Full building power back-up standby generation, UPS, security and access control and automatic blinds all formed part of the fit-out.
The exposed services strategy implemented at Fortess Grove compliments the industrial nature of the building. Cycling facilities are provided along with showers and lockers at ground floor level accessed directly from the rear of the building along Railey Mews. The development achieved a WiredScore certification of ‘Gold’ and a B rated Energy Performance Certification.
All MEP systems within One Hanover Street are being fully replaced, with new services distributed through the upgraded risers to each office floor. The refurbished building will benefit from high-efficiency heat-recovery systems, LED lighting throughout, intelligent lighting controls, a common network system and new fan-coil units among other modern building services upgrades.
Watkins Payne carried out the Independent Design Review role for Seal House, a commercial office development, located in central London.
When Coverys signed the lease to occupy the sixth floor at 1 Creechurch Place in London EC3A, Watkins Payne were appointed building services consultants for Cat B fitout of the 16,000ft2 office areas, providing MEP systems and IT cabling design.
