Forth House Residential Conversion

Conversion of a historic building into 32 modern residential flats, preserving architectural character while introducing contemporary design elements. This project exemplifies sensitive heritage conversion that respects the building's industrial past while meeting modern residential standards.

The conversion involved comprehensive structural assessment and modification of the existing building fabric. Key engineering works included the construction of a new pitched roof structure, structural reinforcement to accommodate residential loading, and integration of modern building services while preserving historic architectural features.

The project required careful balance between heritage preservation and modern residential requirements. Structural modifications needed to respect the building's historic character while ensuring compliance with current building regulations and residential safety standards.

Successfully transformed a former linen production and council office building into high-quality residential accommodation, providing 32 modern flats while preserving the building's industrial heritage and architectural significance.
