LCA Murdoch Award 2014
Redevelopment of an Old Listed Water Tower.
Project Overview
This old building was converted into apartments and a new shallow pitched roof was created above a ledge which wrapped around all 4 sides. The Ledge was Capped with a welted Cornice and cladded vertical panels.
Roof lights were installed to allow natural light into the tops Apartments which had to be factored into the layout of the wood rolls on each side. Every nail sealed with a welded cap. Each Bay, Every Hip and Cap was Code 7 and all ends bossed with each Cap to the hips welded.
Due to the nature of this project and its exposure to the elements the top roof had to be Code 7 as per the specification and as per the recommendations laid out by the Lead Sheet Association.
This project was a finalist in the MURDOCH AWARDS in 2014 which is recognised as the highest accolade for quality standards in leadwork design and application.
