Community-focused care setting

Our recent work on the Pearl Hyde Children's Home in Coventry is a prime example of how innovative engineering, sustainable design, and traditional construction methods can come together to create a space that is both functional and inspiring.

Engineering response

A traditionally designed building structure comprising a mix of timber trusses, steel framing to form the roof lights and load-bearing masonry, on concrete spread footings.

Delivery detail

Wildlife pond SuDS

Since ground conditions prohibited surface water infiltration, a SuDS design incorporating a wildlife pond was featured to provide passive treatment, biodiversity and amenity benefits.
