As appointed by St James Urban Living, Blyth + Blyth will design the building services installation to Commercial Unit 2, which will be fitted out as a resident only gym and the change in operation of the current sales and marketing suite within Commercial Unit 1 to a site concierge suite, on their site at Silkmills Lewisham.
This reports sets out the initial design as coordinated this far and to completion.
The areas are 141m 2 for unit 2 and 60m 2 for unit 1. The units are standalone and structurally complete. Commercial unit 1 is a weatherproof and environmentally treated space with the current installation designed by others; Unit 2 is a shell with services currently running through it as part of the main Silkworks accommodation scheme.
Blyth + Blyth will develop the services to accord with the constraints and future space operations as identified through coordination with SJUL and the design team, mindful of SJUL budgets allocated for the project.
The services design shall be complaint with all statutory and regulation standards.
As identified during the main Silkworks design duties, coordination has been conducted with Premier Energy Services requiring provisions for the gym:
i. A 15mm dia. metered water service from Thames Water, terminating within the space approximately at gridline E6.
ii. A 100A TP&N electrical service, derived and metered from the DNO pattern LV distribution fuse boards within the basement confirmation is required as to the exact location of this supply termination point within the gym shell.
iii. No gas has been detailed to the gym shell.
iv. Telephony services can be taken from the installed infrastructure already present.
