Private & multi-storey residential

Initial Concept design for the development of the site to the west and adjacent to Keruen shopping centre. The goal was to create a strong and individual character for the site, which also connects well with Keruen 1. It will combine luxury retail, leisure, F&B and high-end Residential uses.The site is located facing directly onto the Kisho Kurokawa designed Shining Path green boulevard which forms the urban design centrepiece of the redevelopment of the city. It is to the west of the central plaza of the boulevard containing the high Bayterek monument.The residential tower sits neatly above the shopping centre on the north-west corner of the site. The penthouse apartments will have the advantage of their own entrance lobby and lifts, as well as direct private access from their lifts to the spa, restaurants and the shopping centre.

Our engineers provide Public Health and Electrical services design at the Mast Quay residential development in Woolwich.First phase of the development consisted of two 14-storey towers of high specification apartments coupled with a 3-storey affordable housing block. Second phase is a mixed use development of two residential towers along with approximately 730 sqm of commercial space.This development falls under the Greater London Authority's Initiative for renewable energy and we have considered implementing renewable energy from the earliest design stage with a realistic strategy set out for the technology's inclusion.To achieve the required percentage reduction in carbon emissions it was suggested to install a ground source heat pump to provide heating for a part of the development. The development has achieved "excellent" Eco Homes rating.

The proposals was to build another 2 floors and a roof terrace on top of the existing 8th floor roof and fit out 6 luxury duplex apartments fully air conditioned and with under floor heating and cooling to all areas. Also refurbishment of 2 passenger lifts and 2 service lifts.
These prestigious apartments to be comfort conditioned predominantly by underfloor heating and cooling systems with bedrooms served by four-pipe fan coil systems. Each apartment is mechanically ventilated by central fresh AHU. This approach results in a high quality living environment and least intrusion to the minimalist interior design theme, whilst also optimising the potential for energy reduction.
Each apartment is also provided with the latest technology in intelligent controls systems for the lighting, audio visual and environmental controls systems, fully integrated with a dedicated user interface device. Particular attention has been paid to achieving low background noise levels and the selection of high quality 'visible' components in keeping with the interior design. Landlord's infrastructure services were also designed with careful phasing necessary to ensure no interruption to occupied apartments.

Mirabad Residential project is a unique opportunity for a new type of residential development in the city of Tashkent and will initiate regeneration of the area and create a new urban quarter.Prior to the start of MEP design we developed and agreed with Client a Sustainability Energy Strategy (SES). In order to realise the Strategy it is important to understand the drivers for change and to define a long-term vision for the scheme. Uzbekistan's Government initiated a number of important steps to support development of their energy sector, one being to initiate programs aimed at modernisation of the energy sector and reduction of energy intensity of the economy. We proposed to install central heating and cooling, where each apartment unit is provided with cooling connections from the central system distribution of chilled water. Chiller will utilise environmentally friendly refrigerants and heat will be rejected via air cooled tower condensers. Heating is generated by highly efficient gas fired condensing boilers.

CDI has provided full stages MEP design, thermal modelling, and site supervision during construction stage for a new three storey private house completed with a new barn and outdoor swimming pool.The environmental design has been developed to reduce the carbon footprint, lower running costs, aiming for a Code 6 house - a zero carbon emission building.The flat roof over the first floor block was dedicated to solar panels to capture solar energy for heating. A number of skylights have also been positioned on the roof mainly to bring natural light to the core of the building on the ground and first floor.The building envelope is to be airtight to minimise the amount of warm or cool air that can pass through the structure, background ventilation is provided instead by a zoned mechanical ventilation system to recover the heat before discharging the air externally.

Two stone clad family houses are located on a quiet suburban road on the outskirts of London. Each house is arranged over three floors and organised around a central courtyard that connects through to the main garden and brings daylight into the basement level.
The 6000sqft houses are designed to symmetrically reflect one another and are slightly staggered on the gradient of the site. Internally, rooms are positioned around a central courtyard which brings light to the lower ground floor. The ground floor is devoted to family life and entertainment; private bedrooms are located on the first floor and guest bedrooms in the lower ground floor facing into the courtyard
CDI engineers were appointed to provide full services in connection with the design, specification and procurement of M&E services for the project.

Our engineers undertook Sustainable Energy Strategy study and MEP systems design for new development at Chiswick.
