About the project

A single-storey rear and side extension with internal alterations to a restaurant.

The owner wanted a wide open area at the back of the restaurant while keeping a central masonry pier to reduce costs. A shallow drainage pipe on site also had to be dealt with in the design.

After completion the client asked for a green roof on the new flat roof, which we made possible by strengthening the joists. Almost everything is possible in engineering.

Key structural elements

  • Steel beams
  • Beam and block ground floor
  • Masonry piers
  • Green roof
