Brief Description

The project comprised the retention of a grade 2 listed public house and the demolition of the remaining properties on the site situated in the city centre of Brighton, East Sussex, U.K. The site was bounded on all sides by roads and footpaths making access and material deliveries extremely difficult, necessitating a luffing jib tower crane and definitive delivery schedules. The finished scheme comprised a six-storey building providing four floors of retail space and two floors of office accommodation. The construction of an 8 metre deep basement required innovative ground support techniques. The design management was highly complex and challenging owing to the geometry and floor arrangements of the building, the varying street levels around the site, client instigated design changes owing to changing local market trends, planning requirements and integration of the existing public house.
