River House was heavily developed from Sketch Design, into this set of working drawings.
We had to work in heavy collaboration with our engineer, builder and steel detailer, to ensure the design could be built successfully.
As the site is so ‘soft’, and the addition had to above ground, the solution emerged to use a waffle raft slab, as the ‘foundation’, inset into the ground. Then steel posts were placed on the slab.
Due to the complicated shape of the addition, we worked with the builder and surveyor, to produce accurate setout diagrams.
