An extensive restoration project of one of the world’s most iconic buildings, forming part of the Palace of Westminster UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Adopting a principle of ‘minimum intervention’ from the outset, the team developed buildable, sensitive and robust repair and replacement details, preserving the historic fabric of the building and maximising the retention of existing elements unless beyond practical repair.
This project showcases excellent collaboration between a highly skilled multi-disciplinary project team of engineers, architects and artisans to carry out a very high standard restoration.
The structural interventions undertaken were essential to extend the lifespan of this world-renowned Grade I listed historical heritage site that made headlines around the world when the completed projected was unveiled.
