Modular Buildings


This nursery in Cumbria was a challenging build; the site is in a conservation area and on top of the World Heritage Site of a Hadrian's Wall Roman Fort, so it was essential not only that the completed build had a traditional aesthetic, but also that the building did not in any way damage the archaeological heritage of the site.


The solution was to use a modular building method, using a steel frame in place of traditional foundations and SIPs Industries panels to provide a lightweight and strong shell for the building.  The project was carried out in conjunction with Reiver Lodges and EcoEstates.
