Buro Happold REFURBISHMENT AND REGENERATION The Brunswick, London, UK The Brunswick is a Grade II listed mixed use, low rise, high density urban development within a concrete and glass megastructure. Comprising retail units, a cinema, social housing and car parking, the Brunswick is one of London’s iconic 1960s buildings, but by the 1990s it was tired, worn and largely deserted. The client’s aim was to achieve the original architect’s vision of a stylish residential and shopping area, creating a focus for fashion and leisure in Bloomsbury, 34 years after the scheme was originally completed. Our structural specialists conducted detailed analysis to comprehensively identify and record the defects in the 40 year old concrete and rendered masonry. We then prepared a detailed repair methodology and specification for the repairs, before moving on-site to supervise contractors, ensuring quality control and mitigating unnecessary facade repair work and cost. The structural works to the centre involved significant amounts of demolition with specialist demolition techniques, such as crunching concrete instead of breaking, employed to reduce noise, dust and other impacts on the neighbouring community and businesses. The redevelopment of the Brunswick secured a BCSC Gold Award for In Town Retail in 2007 and the 2008 Civic Trust Award.

Built in 1886, the building was one of the earliest buildings in the town to have electric light and was at the heart of the towns thriving cotton industry, until its closure in the 1980s. The building stood empty for two decades before a partnership group was established to save the building. Buro Happold and James F Stephen Architects were commissioned to undertake a restoration project which would create 60 luxury apartments, 25,000 sq ft of commercial business space and new internal car parking facilities. Years of dereliction, vandalism and the harsh Scottish climate had taken a heavy toll on the building. Extensive repair and replacement works were needed. The architectural objective was to produce a sensitive design, which complemented the historical building and had minimum impact upon the aesthetical quality. All interventions needed to protect the original fabric of the building, so we used specialist methods such as cast iron stitching to undertake the repairs with minimum impact on the historic structure. The future of the Domestic Finishing Mill is now assured, through a project which celebrates Paisley’s economic history and looks to the future, providing beautiful homes and comfortable workspaces for the community of Paisley.

Buro Happold REFURBISHMENT AND REGENERATION CLARENCE DOCK Clarence Dock, Leeds, UK The redevelopment of the 19th century Clarence Dock presented the typical issues faced when developing brownfield sites. Site investigations and contamination studies highlighted hot-spots of concentrates, so we worked with the client and the local authority to establish the risks and then implemented a remediation strategy which maximised site potential and minimised risk during construction and in the longer-term. We carried out a site-wide flood risk assessment and developed a flood prevention strategy which includes active measures to control the dock level, acceptable levels for ground floor accommodation, external ground levels management and basement designs which prevent water ingress. Throughout the project we were focussed on protecting the integrity of the historic dock wall, with initial surveys helping us calculate where buildings could be located on the site, to allow access around the development while avoiding any danger of damage to the wall fabric. The transformation of Clarence Dock in Leeds has created a vibrant waterside community and a premier tourist destination. As the largest development of its type in the city, it has generated a resurgence of interest in the dock area.
