Project overview
Working alongside Evergreen Architects, JPS provided structural engineering services for the refurbishment and extension of a stunning coastal property in Anglesey, transforming it into high-quality holiday accommodation overlooking the Menai Strait.
The project involved reconfiguring the existing building to create open-plan living spaces and delivering a contemporary extension designed to maximise the spectacular waterside views. The result is a light-filled, modern retreat that successfully combines the character of the original property with striking new architectural elements.
The engineering challenge
The scheme presented several challenges, including:
- Altering the existing structure to create open-plan ground floor accommodation while maintaining structural stability.
- Integrating a new extension seamlessly with the existing building fabric.
- Designing a vaulted roof structure that complemented the architectural vision and enhanced internal spaces.
- Creating large glazed openings to maximise views of the Menai Strait while accommodating the associated structural demands.
The engineering solution
JPS was responsible for:
- Providing structural engineering design services for the refurbishment and extension works.
- Designing structural alterations to open up the existing ground floor accommodation.
- Developing the structural design for the new infill extension.
- Engineering the vaulted roof structure to create a spacious and visually striking living area.
- Designing the support arrangements for large glazed openings, enabling uninterrupted views across the Menai Strait.
The outcome
- A beautifully refurbished and extended property transformed into premium holiday accommodation.
- Open, contemporary living spaces that maximise natural light and connectivity throughout the home.
- A striking vaulted living area that enhances the sense of space and architectural quality.
- Large glazed elevations that capture panoramic views of the Menai Strait.
- A successful collaboration between architect and engineer, delivering a high-quality coastal retreat that blends modern design with its exceptional setting.
