The Fitzpatrick residence in Birmingham, Alabama, is an 800m² residential building of a high-standard architectural design. On the basis of our experience in membrane engineering and architectural lightweight structures, Fenton Holloway were appointed to undertake the concept and detailed design of two valley-cable tensile fabric shade canopies to be added to the building. The project required a subtle approach to delicately integrate the added structures within the existing architecture, with new carefully detailed stainless steel elements complementing the original concrete construction.
Fenton Holloway were appointed to provide membrane and structural engineering services to a specialist contractor for the design of three temporary demountable buildings for the Shooting Arenas in Woolwich for the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games.
The Dovercourt Development in Bristol, comprises 129 one, two, and three bed apartments, in blocks of up to 6 storeys high. With our multifarious skills, we were able to undertake the structural engineering design for the restoration of the 19th Century buildings.
On account of our experience with lightweight structures, Fenton Holloway were appointed to design the first large-scale structural use of a PVC-coated high tensile wire mesh: a screen cladding system for the 25m-tall domed structure of Newhaven Energy Recovery.
