Service Value:

£4.71m including services to perimeter single storey areas

Project Programme:

The roof construction permitted a minimal services loading and resulted in a large unoccupied volume.  The building fabric was upgraded to L2 standards, where feasible, and solar control features were added to glazed elements.  The HVAC system was selected to only condition the occupied zone and eliminate a service load on the roof.  Lighting design was undertaken to emphasis the unique roof construction.  The services installation was completed to Category B standard and comprised of:

IA Ltd

Project:

The project involved the complete refurbishment of a 3 storey 100,000ft² headquarters office building.  The office footplate has a cruciform layout with glazed elevations, housed within a glazed external box.  Which created a perimeter closed atria on each elevation of the building.  Environmental control difficulties had been reported by the original tenants of the building, attributable to the underfloor displacement system. This was resolved by the conversion of the original installation to serve a new underfloor VAV HVAC system to provide enhanced temperature control and flexibility with the space.  The offices were stripped back to Category A and completely refitted prior to the occupancy of the new tenant.
