The project team successfully overcame numerous challenges, including the building’s intricate historic fabric and restricted floor plates. They devised a bespoke passive fire protection solution for the unique 400mm walls and integrated modern mechanical ventilation without creating new penetrations. A complex, out-of-sequence construction program was implemented to accommodate the structural work, including craning new steel onto a prepared slab through an open roof. Throughout the project, R&M Williams maintained exceptional relationships with all stakeholders, including the client, design team, and the neighbours. They also achieved an impressive 93% diversion from landfill and delivered a £1.90 multiplier in added value to the local economy - meaning that for every £1 invested in the build an additional 90p was generated for the Welsh economy. Their dedication to saving a significant piece of Welsh heritage while creating a modern, functional space makes them a truly deserving winner.
