Winwood Court

Two 16 storey towers were completely refurbished requiring assessment of the historic concrete structures prior to the alteration upgrade to modern standards.

Sat in between these two towers, was a completely new 5 storey care development over the former railway embankment and crossing an existing major culvert.

As a result the building was fully piled, supporting a braced steel frame with composite floor deck at first floor. From this point the structural form changes to a lightweight ‘Fusion’ framing system for the upper floors with a roof garden terrace for residents. The building is to be finished with a combination of rain screen cladding and render.
