Project: Alterations to Domestic Property

Client: Private

Contractor: SR Calver

Project Outline:

This project involved the introduction of some wow factor in to the kitchen and dining area of a substantial domestic property. The internal space was opened up and a large set of folding doors was introduced in to the rear elevation to create an open plan kitchen, dining, living area with great access to the garden. What initially appeared to be a straight forward project turned in to something that required some fast thinking, due to the location of the existing cellar and extremely limited existing foundations to the rear gable wall. Mini piles and reinforced concrete needle beams were used to provide new foundations for the steel framing around the glazing, thus maintaining the clients proposals whilst ensuring the future stability of the existing elevation.
