APARTMENTS
Hardvard Hall, Stock
A new build, prime residential development consisting of 9 No. apartments with basement below ground parking. We undertook the complete base build and fitout MEP design consisting of a heat network communal heating system utilising heat interface units (HIU’s) with a central gas boiler scheme. Due to planning noise constraints, the condensers were situated in a below ground compound. All apartments were designed with MVHR, a KNX lighting dimming and home automation system, cooling throughout and underfloor heating.

Bridge Street, Peterborough 1
A permitted development conversion of an existing office to HMO apartments with the addition of story and roof top terrace.
Apartments were provided with MVHR, electric heating and a large PV array. The design was heavily cost driven and thus several option MEP designs were assembled to achieve the most cost-efficient solution for the client whilst maintaining the brief and long-term holding of the investment property.
Due to the property being in close proximity to the high street and several night clubs, extensive design work was undertaken alongside a consulting acoustician. Trickle vents were proved not to meet the acoustic requirements which lead to an MVHR ventilation solution which could be acoustically treated to meet the environmental health parameters set by the local authority.

Bridge Street, Peterborough 2
The permitted development conversion and 2 story extension of an existing supermarket into 109 apartments. We provided the entire MEP design. Design works were complicated due to the ground floor being occupied by a tenant during the work, therefore drainage designs were co-ordinated to reduce disruption. A new internal sub-station was a major challenge both for budgets and site programme. We tendered the new sub-station works and saved the clients 25% on installation costs.
A large PV array was accommodated to the roof area to offset running costs and increase the EPC ratings of the property.

Old Oak Road, Shepherd's Bush
A new build property consisting of 6 new apartments and a house. Due to close proximity to busy roads, Nox and particulate filtration was introduced to the ventilation scheme to meet local planning requirements to increase the internal air quality within the property. RS MEP undertook the complete MEP design.

Eaton Square, Grosvenor Estate, Chelsea
The full strip out and refurbishment of an existing, listed and laterally converted apartment on the first floor. The clients wished the property to be taken off of the unreliable communal services such they were full independent. The lower ground floor vaults are being used to house the main plant equipment and air-conditioning condenser within a noise treated room to meet the local authority planning noise restrictions.
