The Site
An historic dockside accommodating a series of temporary buildings serving as the headquarters of a leading marine services business.

Appraisal
The existing accommodation required to be replaced as it was nearing the end of its useful life. A key consideration was the potential flood risk of the riverside location.

Client’s Brief
To remove the existing accommodation and construct new accessible office, welfare and storage buildings protected from the possible effects of flooding and allowing flexibility of layout.

The Scheme
Two permanent high quality modular buildings raised above dock level accessed from a structural steel platform served by a platform lift.
