KB2 were the engineers for a new large storage building built in east Bristol by Tercon and working with Oxford Architects.
The scheme will provide over 6,000m² of storage space, office accommodation, a cafe and a large atrium which houses an original decommissioned English Electric Lightening jet fighter to be suspended from the roof structure.
The site is adjacent to a large existing brick building and is sloping from front to back. At the rear of the building a 2 storey high retaining wall designed to allow the building to extend into the sloping ground. The front of the building was clad with glazing to create a contemporary and interesting facade. Below ground the site is situated over 2 strategic sewers which crisscross the site and were bridged by the new structure.
