We restored this locally listed art deco department store and converted the upper floors into 15 flats. Our contribution as employer's agent was vital in solving a design problem and saving the client money: we managed to build an extra timber frame floor over the existing flat roof while meeting planning requirements for keeping it out of the sight line from the front.
