New offices and extension to warehouse

Built as an extension for the steel stockist B & M Steel Work Ltd.’s Peterborough depot.  The warehouse extension provided 25% more holding space and the addition of the offices replaced the existing portacabin accommodation.

The structure was founded on steel cased piles, which supported the client supplied steel frame.  Unusually, within the warehouse the floor was laid to granular stone, to minimise damage to the steel stock.

The offices are brick built with a curved roof, which brought some interest into an otherwise utilitarian building.
