L+C Engineers have provided structural design for the refurbishment of new Hovarda restaurant, located in the West End of London. The building consists of a Basement, Ground and First Floor over two terraced buildings.

The structural design works consisted of forming large openings in the existing Ground and First Floor Levels, infilling large roof voids, strengthening the existing Ground Floor steel joists which support a feature spiral staircase and adding new steel beams in order to create a large double space area.

In addition, the design included a new support for a feature chandelier, which was hung from the existing structure using steel cables designed by L+C. Design works also comprised of producing a detailed construction sequence, with a strong emphasis on buildability and health & safety.
