252 Bouverie is a prime 25,000 sq ft office building in the heart of Milton Keynes. As part of a major refurbishment led by Savills and Intex—which included a striking double-height glazed reception—Owens was awarded the contract for the full mechanical services design and installation.
Working to a fast-track 14-week programme, our design team was challenged with developing a system that met the client’s final requirements, worked within extremely limited plant space, and aligned with a tight budget—all while enabling a flexible, multi-tenant layout.
Comfort cooling was delivered using Mitsubishi Electric VRF Heat Recovery systems, supplying ceiling-concealed ducted fan coil units across all floors. To meet the client’s multi-tenant specification, condensers were positioned in the restricted rooftop plant area, previously occupied by a redundant chiller.
Given the limited space and need for decentralised fresh air delivery, Owens proposed a distributed ventilation solution using multiple Mitsubishi Lossnay units installed within the ceiling void. This design met airflow requirements while maintaining low noise levels and a discreet aesthetic.
With energy efficiency as a top priority, a Mitsubishi Electric ECODAN hot water system was also installed. Owens played a key role in developing a BMS (Building Management System) to ensure all systems operated efficiently and were fully integrated.
