Project details

Nestled in the heart of Mayfair on the newly pedestrianised Pollen St and just steps from Hanover Square, Pollen8 is a reimagined 9,450 sq. ft. office development. Situated above the Michelin-starred Pollen Street Social, this stylish property, owned and managed by Morgan Capital, exemplifies their reputation for delivering premier office spaces in London’s most exclusive markets.

Pollen8 blends character and functionality to create a vibrant environment designed to optimise efficiency and foster growth within a thriving business community.

Innovative UfAC for a restrictive structure

Originally built as a residential property, Pollen8 presented design challenges, including reduced floor-to-ceiling heights that rendered conventional ceiling-based systems impractical. Drawing on previous success with AET Flexible Space systems at 11-12 Hanover St, Morgan Capital opted for underfloor air conditioning (UfAC) to meet these challenges.

AET’s CAM—V system was deployed with five floor-supply, high-level return units — one per floor — placed in self-contained enclosures to conserve core space. To maximise ceiling heights, the existing 170mm floor void accommodates 76 slimline TU3 Fantile™ units, strategically positioned between 150mm structural beams.

A catalyst for growth

The building’s transformation includes a new 5th-floor extension, expanded floor plates from the 1st to 4th floors, and reconfigured cores. These enhancements, which include the installation of our UfAC, have redefined Pollen8 into a bright, open workspace, seamlessly integrating innovative design and cutting-edge technology to support modern businesses.
