Sophisticated Structural Transformation | Residential Refurbishment

In close collaboration with Aura Architecture and Tessuto Interiors, we delivered the structural design for a comprehensive whole-house refurbishment in Putney. The project centered on the ambitious reimagining of an existing pool hall into a high-end entertaining suite and gym.

• Structural Innovation: To achieve an expansive, open-plan layout, we removed several internal steel columns from the original curved steel frame, replacing them with a sophisticated steel transfer structure. We designed the structure in such a way that it could be installed with minimal temporary works and with ease. A clear sequence of works was communicated with the contractor throughout.
• Seamless Integration: In addition to the works to the pool hall, the project featured multiple single-story extensions characterized by extensive glazing. This required meticulous coordination with glazing suppliers, interior designers, and lighting consultants to ensure structural integrity without compromising the minimalist aesthetic. 
• Design Highlight: A bespoke cantilevered canopy for the outdoor kitchen serves as a structural centerpiece in the courtyard, blending functional solar shading with architectural flair.
