project description:

Located on a tight, City Centre site in an Architectural Conservation Area, the project involved the construction of a seven storey over basement office with a glazed atrium, coupled with the restoration of four protected, semi-derelict, 18th century Georgian Houses. The Consulting Engineer assessed the protected structures for suitability from floors through to brickwork. Some facades had moved away from the buildings and had to be tied back to the party walls.  Underpinning required in locations. The scheme is an example of engineering excellence providing real world solutions for the reuse and re-integration of older Protected Structures
