Residential Orangeries Design, Lincoln

Our client's brief was to increase the size of their kitchen for a better dining room and knock through to the snug room, which is used for relaxation.

This project involved comprehensive and complex structural works to create the new openings. As a major section of the lower rear wall was to be removed and structural steel added for support, accurate structural calculations were needed to ensure stability. Due to soil conditions, the footings needed to support the entire structure were more than a metre deep; the liquid concrete was then pumped in.

The block and beam floor construction had a flow screed finish added to give a level surface for the finished floor covering. As you can see from the calculations in the images, the building works team needed to follow a great deal of detail. The senior surveyor completed more than a dozen separate drawing processes before finalising; you can see the details in the drawings below.

The final result was a wonderful orangery that delivered a stunning kitchen and dining room space.
