JMS Engineers provided full structural design services for the residential development at 246–248 Kilburn High Road, London. The project consists of two separate five-storey reinforced concrete-framed buildings - one fronting the High Road and a larger residential block to the rear - designed to deliver 27 new apartments around a central landscaped courtyard.
Both structures utilise RC frames to deliver durability, acoustic performance, and fire resistance. The high street-facing block required careful integration of structural elements within a constrained urban footprint, while the rear block was designed with lateral stability systems to accommodate site geometry and access restrictions. Retaining structures were incorporated to address level changes across the site. Coordination with utility routes and phased construction logistics were key to ensuring buildability on this tight central London plot.
