This project for Howard De Walden Estates included substantial reconstruction of parts of the building behind retained facades and reconfiguration of both residential and retail units. The smaller retail units were combined into 3 larger units with the exception of one retail unit which remained unchanged and operational throughout the works. The 7 existing multi-storey apartments were replaced with 14 new single floor apartments and 2 duplex apartments. To comply with the requirements of disproportionate collapse, large sections of the existing timber floors were replaced with new concrete floors, supported in a new steel frame constructed within the constraints of the existing shell. Additionally, new steelwork was installed within the existing retained timber floors/walls. A temporary roof maintained a waterproof environment during the removal of the existing roof and rear facade. Internal floors had new support steels installed, with other strengthening works to form new opening in party walls. |
