Our team recently completed a project for a private homeowner, designing a state-of-the-art mechanical system for their luxury home extension. The brief was to create separate water and heating systems for the guest rooms, allowing for energy-efficient management when not in use. Our innovative solution included a combined heat and power system and creative ductwork design, all while maintaining the home’s aesthetic appeal. The result is a beautiful, functional, and cost-effective living space for hosting family and friends.

CLIENT OBJECTIVES
Our client, a private homeowner, wanted to expand their already impressive home with an extension that would serve as a welcoming retreat for visiting family. They needed the guest rooms to operate on an independent water and heating system, allowing for easy shutdown when unoccupied. This energy-conscious approach needed to seamlessly integrate with the existing luxury amenities, including a pool, gym, en-suite bedrooms, snooker room, and cinema room.
OUR SOLUTION
PSA’s team crafted a comprehensive mechanical design and onsite monitoring, ensuring a smooth transition. We developed a fully automated system that could effortlessly switch off the guest wing when not in use, ensuring maximum energy efficiency. A combined heat and power (CHP) system, cleverly generating electricity from heat used throughout the home.
Space was at a premium, so our creative team got to work. We devised an ingenious ductwork solution that discreetly housed both heating and cooling systems without compromising on aesthetics or functionality. For extra luxury and efficiency, we incorporated underfloor heating throughout the new extension.
THE OUTCOME
Our client was happy with the results. Not only did we meet all the requirements, but we also exceeded expectations in terms of aesthetic integration and cost-saving potential. The new system blended seamlessly with the existing home, maintaining its luxurious feel while significantly boosting its energy efficiency.
