Conversion of an old tram shed in Bath into luxury apartments
Bath
The client had to completely remove the internal structure including the roof and replace it with a new frame, whilst leaving the external walls in position to maintain the appearance of a historically significant building. The site was on the side of a hill, overlooking the river and consisted of varying level floors throughout a building which had deteriorated over the years. All of the facades were to be restrained by walings strapped to the brickwork and supported by towers positioned either inside or outside to avoid the existing structure and still allow for the building of the new structure. Co-ordinated drawings were produced in association with the client, Architect and Engineer to ensure that all requirements were met. Foundations were installed within the building to carry the towers.
