MYCO and G&H Group will be focused on upgrading the grade two-listed Sunlight House into Grade A offices. Work will include dividing floors into smaller spaces and adding more meeting rooms, a café, and coworking space.

Much of the programme though resolves around bolstering the sustainability credentials of the 14-storey building, which is targeting a four-star NABERS rating. This includes introducing solar panels and upgrading lighting and heating and cooling systems to more energy-efficient models.

In addition to MYCO and G&H, the delivery team includes project manager FACTION, quantity surveyor Quantem, structural engineer Eckersley O’Callaghan, and architect Anomaly.

Andrew Dunkin, project manager, MYCO said: “To be a part of the team which brings Sunlight House back to its original glory is very exciting for me as a project manager and I look forward to working with G&H Group to make this happen.”

G&H director David Davis added: “We’re excited to be collaborating with MYCO on the restoration of Sunlight House, a building rich in heritage and of the finest architecture.

“Sustainability is at the heart of the project and G&H Group will, through every aspect of design and installation, ensure Karrev’s environment targets are achieved.”

Sunlight House was previously a scheme Karrev worked on alongside developer partner Kinrise. However, Kinrise left the project in February, after helping the scheme achieve planning permission.
