We modified and extended existing mechanical services including new ventilation provided by MVHR units with fresh air via insulated ducts from the roof intakes. The heating and cooling systems were extended by adding additional VRF fan coil units to the existing circuits served by the existing roof level plant. We worked extensively with the client and the architect to ensure that the installation of all new building services would have minimum impact on the historic building, but also providing modern facilities required for a 21st century gallery.
The David Zwirner Gallery is a 18th century Georgian townhouse in Mayfair. Several centuries of renovations meant that extensive work was required to create new spaces with the proportions, lighting, and mechanical systems required for the display of contemporary art. Opening heights are increased for greater daylight and art access; structure and core are rationalised, ventilation and lighting have been subtly subordinated to the spaces and the art. The gallery contains three levels of public exhibition spaces with offices, private showrooms, and a library located on the two levels above.
