𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸: 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗢𝗿𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝘆, 𝗜𝗽𝘀𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗵 Taking a look back at our work, one project that stands out is Athena House at Orwell Quay, Ipswich. Partnering with Watkin Jones, we served as the Civil & Structural Engineers on this innovative 5 to 9 storey building. The development integrates commercial and retail space with covered parking at ground level, student accommodation on the upper floors, and a large internal garden deck above the car park. Athena House played a pivotal role in the University of Suffolk’s extensive redevelopment of the Orwell Quay dock area, representing the first phase of works alongside new University teaching blocks. Our team implemented a steel frame structure with composite concrete upper floors, a choice that facilitated the fast-paced construction schedule and accommodated the building’s varying heights and complex geometry. The project was completed on time, ready for the student intake. Athena House is a prime example of our capability to deliver multifaceted developments.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗯𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸, 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻 This week, we're showcasing one of our past commercial projects - the John Jones Picture Framing facility in Finsbury Park, London. As Civil & Structural Engineers, we had the pleasure of working alongside DGA Architects LLP to develop this six-storey building. The facility, spanning 57,000 sq.ft., includes design studios, photography areas, and artwork presentation spaces, complemented by an inviting external garden space for staff and a covered car park deck. For this project, we selected a concrete frame flat slab structure, which was ideal for accommodating the necessary floor-to-ceiling heights and meeting the logistical demands of the building. Utilising the latest 3D analysis and design software, we successfully navigated the complex geometry and levels of the structure, ensuring precise and efficient execution. It's always rewarding to see how our expertise and advanced tools can bring architectural visions to life. Reflecting on this project, it remains a standout example of our ability to deliver commercial developments that are both functional and creatively inspiring. We're proud to have played a role in creating a space that supports and nurtures artistic endeavours.
