Taste Limited agreed to rent an area of St Nicholas Market from the local Council, to turn it into a restaurant with a proposed new first floor storage level. PRO Structures worked closely with BOI Metal Fabrications Limited to design and build the new steel deck mezzanine storage floor structure and staircase. The mezzanine had a total floor area of approximately 670 ft2, and a wall supported by a series of prefabricated steel support shoes onto the existing building’s masonry piers. The mezzanine floor’s design and appearance had to be in keeping with the building, featuring a historic light industrial look.
PRO Structures also liaised with the Council’s listed building architect and building control department for sign off purposes of this structure.
