Ealing Broadway – W5
The Project
The brief at 134 Broadway was to add a fifth floor to an existing mixed-use building containing 19 flats. AC Design Solution handled planning and structural engineering for the additional accommodation.
The proposal had to address the extra floor’s appearance in the streetscape and the existing building below. The external form and supporting structure had to be developed together.
Structural Engineering
The engineering work examined structural issues within the existing building as part of designing the addition. The structural drawings and calculations were coordinated with the fifth-floor planning proposal.
Project Outcome
For another additional-floor scheme over an existing building, see Gatliff Road, Westminster. Discuss the scope for an upward extension with the team.
