Public Sector; Launceston
Town Hall Renovation Works
In 2010 the iconic Launceston Town Hall and the attached Guildhall underwent substantial renovation works. The two buildings were built side by side in the 19th century, the Guildhall in 1851 and the Town Hall in 1887, and thus on account of their age and historical significance the building required careful and sensitive consideration with respect to the modernisation and renovation works... -
Barns
Hole Barton
Hole Barton Farm provided a classic opportunity for the development of a number of barns into domestic residential properties. In total five independent barns were renovated together with the large original farmhouse. As the barns had fallen into varying states of disrepair a significant amount of structural design had to be accomplished for the project... -

Tredor barns
The design strategy for this project was to leave the exterior of these pre-Victorian barns as intact as possible so their outward appearance remained unchanged. The interior, however, was to be as contemporary as possible -

"Foulkes Jackson Fewings provided the structural engineering design for the foundation and arch braced oak frame at Carn House, Canworthy Water. The project was a great success and currently featured in Cornwall Life Magazine. To read the article please click here. The new frame was installed whilst keeping the existing swimming pool in place which gave rise to some interesting considerations during the formation of the foundations. Due to the relatively shallow pitch of the arched frame roof bespoke lateral bar ties were specified to avoid adverse spread. These bars were hidden within the upper tie to retain the traditional aesthetic of the oak frame."
