Case Study: Structural Remediation and Internal Remodelling at Creams Cafe Wood Green N22
Project Overview
- Location: 140 High Rd, London N22 6EB
- Property Type: Three-storey mid-terrace Edwardian building
- Project: Creams Cafe Wood Green fit-out and structural intervention
The Challenge
- The existing three-storey mid-terrace Edwardian structure was identified to be in a very poor state of repair.
- A major structural defect involved significant bowing to the upper front elevation, posing potential safety and stability concerns for the historic building.
Engineering Services & Scope of Work
PSL Engineers were commissioned to deliver comprehensive engineering solutions, which included:
- Intrusive Façade Investigation: Conducting a thorough, full intrusive investigation to diagnose the root causes and extent of the structural distress on the front façade.
- Structural Remediation Strategy: Developing and proposing a robust engineering strategy aimed at reinstating structural integrity and robustness to the front elevation.
- Internal Remodelling: Providing professional engineering advice and detailed design services for various internal remodelling works to support the modern cafe layout.
Project Outcome
Through targeted investigative work, precise structural design, and expert remodelling guidance, PSL Engineers successfully resolved critical stability issues on the historic Edwardian façade, ensuring the long-term safety and structural soundness of the property for its commercial use.
