No. 1 St James’s Market Office Fit Out
As part of its change programme, J O Hambro Capital Management leased two storeys of Grade A office space in the recently redeveloped No. 1 St James’s Market. We designed the services for the Cat B fit out of the 20,000 sq ft space.
Our Role
Following an initial survey of the existing Cat A services, we undertook coordinated mechanical, electrical and public health designs for the open plan offices, quiet rooms, break out areas and client meeting suite.
In addition to our design duties, we reviewed the contractor’s proposals, carried out site monitoring and witnessed the commissioning. Detailed coordination was needed throughout to minimise disruption to other occupied offices.
The Outcome
Our designs use intelligent temperature controls, lighting controls and CO2 sensing to optimise comfort while minimising energy use.
Four pipe fan coil units provide heating and cooling to both floors, with LED lighting throughout and feature lighting in key areas. Dedicated VRF cooling and gaseous suppression systems serve the MER and SER comms rooms.
