Hadsley House is a former merchant’s property located in the heart of St Peter Port, which had been in use as office accommodation for many years. The brief required a full Cat B refurbishment to create a serviced office environment, incorporating a series of small private workspaces ranging from 6 to 10 desks.
A comprehensive refurbishment programme was delivered in close coordination with planning and heritage authorities, due to the listed status of the building. During the enabling works, structural movement was identified to the rear elevation following opening up of the existing fabric. This required the introduction of a structural engineer’s design, resulting in additional steelwork to stabilise and support the internal structure.
The scheme also placed strong emphasis on interior design, which was fully integrated across kitchens, communal areas, and WC facilities. The finishes were carefully coordinated with the mechanical and electrical installations to ensure a cohesive and high-quality serviced office environment throughout the building.

The design was at the heart of the construction ethos for this project located in the heart of St Helier. The integration with the air handling services was an essential part of the design as the services were exposed in a large section of the kitchen area. A number of office units were also created to make the most of the natural light.
It was essential for the mechanical and electrical designers to work closely with the interiors designer and main contractor to create stylish and fully operational work and break out spaces. It was also very important to work closely with the planning and building control departments to create compliant office areas as with all construction projects.
The floor was part of a wider office environment and it was essential to keep the other floors as insulated from noise transfer as possible with consultations around timings of noisy works. It was also essential to keep services running which meant seamless integration with electrical and fire safety systems.
