This is a residential project being built on behalf of the Metropolitan Housing Trust which comprises the refurbishment of a listed III Mill buildings of between six and nine storeys plus a new five storey building adjacent to it with undercroft parking.

The refurbishment of the Mill buildings required a load analysis of the existing structures to ensure that the enhanced acoustic floor construction which included a screed layer was within its design limits.

The new building consisted of a steel frame with slimflor beam and precast unit design to give a minimal slab depth due to height restrictions but to allow maximum use of the height allowed for apartments.
