A


ET Flexible Space was contracted to
supply the innovative underfloor air
conditioning (UfAC) system to 24 St
James Square. The brief for AET was to
maximise floor-to-ceiling heights within the
constraints of the original building while
providing flexible air conditioning at each
floor plate.
The office space within 24 St James Square
was no longer fit for purpose and required
significant refurbishment. The remodelling
of the office interiors at all levels was driven
by seeking to maximise floor space and take
full advantage of views from the double
aspect interior.
In almost all cases, AET’s UfAC system met
the requirements of this refurbishment, and
in any cases where the standard system did
not meet the specification, AET was able to
design bespoke elements to solve the
problems. Crucially, key architectural
elements of the building were preserved,
including the original ceilings.

AET’s UfAC CAM-V system makes use of
the space beneath a raised access floor to
create the air ventilation path, eliminating the
need for ceiling-based services and associated
duct and pipework, and at the same time
maximising the floor to ceiling heights. The
underfloor system creates a brighter and
more airy office environment, and also means
that the services can be maintained at an
easily accessible level. AET’s UfAC systems
provide far greater flexibility than ceiling-
based air conditioning systems. Once an
overhead ceiling air conditioning system is

installed it is not possible to easily reposition
the air terminals. AET ‘s UfAC system is very
flexible, modular in design, and are installed
at floor level, making it easy to install,
maintain and re-arrange to suit the changing
needs of the workspace. AET’s Fantiles can
easily be relocated, offering huge savings
when reconfiguring and adapting workspace.
The 24 St James project has already won
the “Best Office Architecture London” award
at the 2019 International Property Awards.
