Wall removal
Structural design for the removal of internal walls, load-bearing or otherwise, coordinated with Building Regulations and party wall requirements.
Structural design for the removal of internal walls, load-bearing or otherwise, coordinated with Building Regulations and party wall requirements.
The removal of an internal wall reorganises the plan of a house, and must be supported by structural design where the wall carries load.
The studio determines whether a wall is load-bearing, designs the replacement structure, and considers how the new opening changes light, movement and the use of the rooms around it.
Structural alterations require Building Regulations approval, and party wall procedures apply where the work affects a shared structure. Listed buildings require consent for internal alterations.
Structural calculations, drawings and approvals are prepared by the studio, with oversight of the works where required.
