Steel-framed extension to a home in Bishopston

This steel-framed extension in Bristol, designed to craft a bright and airy
kitchen/dining area leading out to the garden, posed PRO Structures, as the
structural designers, some interesting challenges. These were primarily caused by
the flat roof projection past the building line, and the considerable extent of the
glazed elevations.
We came up with a steel support framework solution which was both sympathetic
to the architectural design and complemented the architect’s brief, creating a
feeling of bringing the outside in while increasing the building’s footprint by almost
700 sq ft.
