In May 2017, the Compagnie Sucrière de Bel Ombre commissioned Prodesign to provide MEP consultancy services for the renovation of Le Château de Bel Ombre and to transform the pedestrian experience between the hotel and the Château.
Working with a team of international landscapers, architects, interior designers, and client, Prodesign provided this building with state-of-the art MEP services while keeping its original cachet. Prodesign’s multidisciplinary team carried out consultations with the various parties involved and they came up with a solution to preserve the authenticity of the building. Our dedicated M&E engineering team also helped the landscape architect with the lighting design of the 900 m long pathway which is a unique picturesque view at night.
It was a real challenge to retrofit the systems and equipment in such a historical building, but Prodesign’s MEP consultants, who have considerable experience in the renovation of listed buildings, marvellously achieved the M&E engineering task. The apartment was redesigned in an optimal manner, whilst ensuring that the refurbishment spaces complies with current fire and other regulations. All the provided MEP consultancy services were inspected and verified for any rectification of defects before it was re-opened in October 2017 after five months of closure.
