Case Studies

A building in Fowler’s Yard, Durham required a step unit that was situated within a conservation area. The site was not listed, but is within the Durham City conservation area and in the setting of the World Heritage Site. The existing staircase had to be removed and replaced with one our modular step unit. Although, all elements needed to be black.

The Jewel Tower dates back almost 650 years and is now a visitor attraction in the heart of Westminster. It was built around 1365 to house Edward III’s treasures and was known as the ‘King’s Privy Wardrobe’. One of only two buildings from the medieval Palace of Westminster to survive the fire of 1834, the tower has exhibition space over three floors, where visitors can learn of the Towers changing roles, see a model of the ‘lost’ medieval palace of Westminster, replicas of precious objects and a rare 14th century ribbed vault.
