Residential Property at Wells-next-the-Sea
This spring saw the completion of this unique property in
the popular seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea.
Overall the design is unique in that it represents three
separate dwellings amalgamated into one.
Substantial design was involved to overcome the difficulties
with flood prevention, thus the two bedroomed living accommodation is at first
floor level. The ground floor reinforced concrete slab is piled, (due to
a pre-existing cellar because the building is sited on a pub). It is
masonry framed to first floor level and above that, steel framed with timber
infill. Overall stability is achieved through plywood cladding and moment
joints in steelwork.
The roof terrace provides views across the sea and is
serviced by a dumbwaiter.
