Challenges and solutions
The Wettenhalls office building required close attention to detail to ensure the structural drawings connected smoothly with the working drawings of the structure. Throughout the design process, we worked with Wettenhalls to come up with the best solution for their inward goods and dispatch areas. The solution was to include twin cantilever canopies on each side of the building. Working closely with the client's architect, we designed and delivered a seamless construction finish on-site.
