Project Overview
The 44 Paul Street project involved a CAT A refurbishment of approximately 5,000 sq ft of commercial office space over two floors. The client required an open-plan design with exposed services to enhance the industrial aesthetic. Proton Built Environment provided feasibility studies, MEP design, and detailed CGI visuals to help the client fully envision the final result.
​
Scope of Work
Key aspects of the project included:
-
Exposed Services Design: The client sought to maintain a modern industrial look, requiring all services to be exposed throughout the open-plan office area.
-
MEP Design: The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design incorporated new LED lighting with efficient controls, air handling units, and a VRV multi-split air conditioning system.
-
Removal of Redundant Systems: A key part of the project involved removing a redundant standby generator from the roof to make space for the installation of new plant equipment, further enhancing the efficiency and functionality of the building.
-
Energy Efficiency: The replacement of the existing MEP systems ensured that the new design met the latest standards for energy efficiency, reducing operational costs and improving the building’s environmental performance.
​
Challenges & Solutions
Working in a confined area of 5,000 sq ft with a focus on modernising the space while maintaining an industrial aesthetic required precise planning and design integration.
​
Our Solutions:
