The Courtyard: Derelict to fine dining

At SRS, we take pride in delivering high-quality developments that not only meet modern standards but also enhance the communities they serve. One of our recent projects showcased our ability to revitalise a space through extensive interior and exterior development, structural enhancements, and accessibility improvements—all within a 12-month timeframe and a £400k budget.

A Full-Scale Transformation

This ambitious project involved a complete overhaul of the building, ensuring it was both structurally sound and aligned with current building regulations. From interior and exterior upgrades to functional enhancements, our team worked diligently to bring new life to the space while maintaining the integrity of its original design.

Expert-Led Design & Planning

For the design and planning of structural and remedial works, we collaborated with Edwards Architecture, whose expertise played a crucial role in shaping the redevelopment. Their strategic approach helped us optimise space, reinforce structural integrity, and integrate modern solutions while preserving the character of the building.

Sustainable Restoration & Reuse

Sustainability was a key focus in this project. Wherever possible, we reused existing materials to restore traditional features, ensuring that elements of the original building were retained. This approach not only helped reduce waste but also maintained the character and charm of the property.

Structural Support & Reconfiguration

To future-proof the building, we carried out a series of structural enhancements and reconfigurations. This included reinforcing key areas to improve stability and longevity while making the space more functional and adaptable for future use.

Installation of an Extraction System

A critical aspect of the redevelopment was the installation of a high-performance extraction system. This was essential for ensuring proper ventilation and air quality, particularly in areas requiring controlled airflow, such as hospitality or commercial kitchen spaces.

Interior & Exterior Enhancements

Our team focused on modernising both the interior and exterior of the building, incorporating high-quality materials and finishes. The upgrades included new flooring, updated fixtures, improved lighting solutions, and a refreshed façade to enhance the building’s overall aesthetic and functionality.

Front Signage Restoration

Preserving the heritage and character of the building was a priority. The front signage, an important feature of its identity, was carefully restored to maintain its historical significance while seamlessly blending with the modernised exterior.

Working with Planners & Local Community Considerations

We worked closely with local planners to ensure that our redevelopment plans aligned with the needs of the surrounding community. Adapting our designs to reflect local priorities allowed us to deliver a project that not only met regulatory requirements but also supported the long-term vision of the area.

Adaptation to Meet Current Building Regulations

Ensuring compliance with the latest building regulations was a crucial part of the project. Our team meticulously assessed and implemented the necessary adaptations, ensuring the building met the highest safety, accessibility, and efficiency standards.

Enhanced Accessibility

Accessibility was a fundamental part of our design approach. To make the building more inclusive, we installed ramps at both the front and exterior, ensuring ease of access for wheelchair users and individuals with mobility challenges.

A Project Delivered on Time & Budget

Despite the complexities of this redevelopment, we successfully delivered the project within the planned 12-month schedule and adhered to the £400k budget. Through careful planning, expert craftsmanship, and a commitment to excellence, SRS has once again demonstrated its ability to transform spaces efficiently and effectively.
