Project overview
JPS provided structural engineering design services for the fit-out and refurbishment of Cibo restaurants in Hale and Wilmslow.
The project involved significant alterations to the existing buildings to create high-quality dining environments, including modifications to the structural layout and the installation of a striking suspended feature bar surround.
Careful structural design was required to support the architectural vision while ensuring the safe integration of new features within the existing buildings.
The engineering challenge
The scheme presented several challenges, including:
- Undertaking structural alterations within existing buildings.
- Removing and modifying load-bearing walls while maintaining structural stability.
- Designing support systems for a suspended feature bar surround.
- Coordinating structural works with the architectural fit-out requirements.
- Delivering engineering solutions within the constraints of refurbishment projects.
The engineering solution
JPS was responsible for:
- Providing structural engineering design for the fit-out and refurbishment works.
- Assessing existing structures and identifying load-bearing elements.
- Designing structural alterations associated with the removal of load-bearing walls
- Developing support arrangements for the new suspended feature bar surround.
- Coordinating structural solutions to facilitate the architectural design objectives.
The outcome
- Successful refurbishment of the Cibo restaurants in Hale and Wilmslow.
- Safe and effective structural modifications to accommodate the new layouts.
- Delivery of a visually striking suspended feature bar element.
- Improved functionality and customer experience within both venues.
- Structural solutions that supported the architectural vision while maintaining building integrity.
