The weight of the new building rests on one concrete column in the middle of the atrium and another in front of the building.  #porthouse #portofantwerp #belgium #antwerp #archilover #schueco #zahahadidarchitects

Timber isn't just great for new builds; 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬. As a Grade-II listed building, the former Arding & Hobbs department store had some unique requirements — including 𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬. Timber's lightweight properties made it a suitable material for a rooftop extension without increasing the project's environmental footprint. Perhaps it could also be used to renovate the UK's old housing stock. Could that help address the chronic shortage of affordable housing? #Timber #Renovation #SustainableConstruction #CLT

Poole Dick Residential Projects The Clayworks, Smithfield, Stoke-on-Trent https://lnkd.in/e7PUri3x THE CHALLENGE This development included the design and construction of a 12-storey building, to include 151 private rented sector apartments together with associated communal space. The building also includes a commercial unit completed to the ‘shell’ level on the lower ground floor, with associated public realm spaces around the perimeter and the provision of a temporary car park separate from the site. KEY CONSIDERATIONS This included ensuring the development team provided the project in line with the requirements of the development agreement and that the quality of the works was to an acceptable standard. #residential #residentialconstruction #constructionindustry #projectmanagement #projectmonitoring #residentialdevelopment #stokeontrent #pooledick #constructionmanagementconsultancy

#TBT to one of our largest projects, which saw us transform a disused office block in Portsmouth into 153 apartments for students. The £11m design-and-build project also required the construction of two ground-floor retail units. Our team enhanced the building’s exterior with a new roof and masonry for the curtain walling system. All windows were replaced with high-specification Schüco windows combined with green glazed panels to bring colour to the scheme. The windows were manufactured using anodised aluminium on the outside to increase durability and improve aesthetics. Following a design recommendation from Vale Southern, a polyester powder was used to coat the inside of the windows, enabling any future repairs to be carried out more easily and cost-effectively. Internally, the new flats include studios with designated study areas, and apartments with en-suite bathrooms. Mechanical and electrical services were installed, plus two lifts. The entrance area was remodelled and shells created for the retail units. https://ow.ly/OBFo50Rp6FW #construction #studentaccommodation #designandbuild #residential

Imagine transforming an old school into a shopping mall, or an old cotton mill into a block of luxury apartments. Thanks to selective interior demolition, all this is possible and more. So, if you could convert one building nearby into something else, what would it be, and why?

🚧 Major Progress on Our Woolwich HMO Project! 🚧 In this Week 2 update, I break down what we’ve achieved so far: 🔨 3-Metre Extension: Foundation laid and the manhole moved for the extension. The concrete’s in, and it’s taking shape! 🙌 🏠 Room Expansions: We resized a sitting area to meet HMO standards, now at 7 sqm. Not only that, but we also splitted the old bathroom to create en-suite for two rooms. Knocked down walls to maximize space, including a new ensuite for the top floor’s biggest room! 💡 Electrical Work: We started installing cables for lighting and bathrooms, working from the top down. This is just the beginning – stay tuned for Week 3! 💪 👉 Drop your thoughts/questions in the comments.
