Think On Top Of The Box
THINK ON TOP OF THE BOX
Accommodation
The Think on Top of the Box project saw the conversion of an existing three storey concrete frame building into nine high-quality, modern townhouses. Frameclad were appointed to supply the SFS infill to form new external walls to the existing levels. The project also required the installation of a brand new self-supporting top storey using a steel frame system to increase the total floor space.
Located in a coastal area, this conversion from concrete frame building into exquisite riverside townhouses outlined strict specifications that required precision and expert delivery. A Frameclad steel frame system (SFS) was the ideal choice for the development.

Case Studies
Canterbury Road
Frameclad manufactured all of the internal/external frames for these two interlinked block five-storey residential development. Floors were constructed from lattice joists and also balcony cassettes were supplied to sit inside a hot rolled frame. Access was limited and due to the busy site location deliveries had to be carefully coordinated and time slots hit.
Centenary House
Northampton This technically challenging project involved the initial removal of a traditional pitched roof from a four story 1980’s Social Housing Accommodation Block and the subsequent installation of two new load-bearing stories plus the associated supporting Hot Rolled Steel grillage, new external lift shaft and associated landing areas.
