Structural Engineering
JMS Engineers provided structural design for the ‘Cart & Horses’ development at 1 Maryland Point, London - a complex mixed-use scheme combining heritage preservation with new-build construction. Works included a new basement formed beneath the existing historic pub structure, requiring careful sequencing and temporary works to maintain stability during excavation and underpinning.
The brief
JMS Engineers provided structural design for the ‘Cart & Horses’ development at 1 Maryland Point, London - a complex mixed-use scheme combining heritage preservation with new-build construction. Works included a new basement formed beneath the existing historic pub structure, requiring careful sequencing and temporary works to maintain stability during excavation and underpinning.
Engineering response
A lightweight rooftop extension was added to the pub, designed to minimise load impact on the existing building. Adjacent to the pub, JMS designed an eight-storey reinforced concrete framed residential block, also incorporating a basement level. Coordination of foundation design, load transfer and interface detailing between old and new structures was critical in delivering the scheme within tight urban constraints.
