Strip out is completed and first fix is underway at TRY Markets Victoria, Terminus Place, Victoria, London. Following our succes with the clients scheme at Fulham, TEW have provided MEP design for this building. The scheme consists of thirteen kitchens around a two storey common eating area – generally a larger version of the Fulham scheme. The building sits directly opposite Victoria station adjacent the coach station and with the local theatres in the area, is sure to be a big hit.
There are a number of challenges with the scheme including the buildings location on large steelwork in the basement directly over Victoria circle line underground station. This along with the age of the building has meant a number of structural challenges for the team, along with limited ceiling heights and a small roof area.
To accomodate these issues, the proposal is for local heating and cooling units within the space, with mechanical extraction from the kitchens and a tempered natural ventilation air inlet system from the roof level. This is a change from the Fulham project which used a number of larger air handling units on the roof to provide conditioned air to the space.
Due to the age of the existing building, and the fast programme requirments, changes to the scheme are happening daily! Watch this space to see the next development……
