The Outcome
A new flat roof was constructed to offer shade during periods of direct sunlight, while preserving the uninterrupted views of the coastline. Completed in October 2023, the structure successfully withstood the extreme conditions of Storm Ciaran, demonstrating its resilience and effectiveness in resisting significant uplift forces.

How we did it
The steel frame supporting the timber flat roof was designed to connect through a post to the existing concrete slab above the ground-floor garage and utility room. This integration ensures structural stability and efficient load transfer between the new roof and the existing structure.





The Challenge
The primary challenge was designing structural support that could withstand the property’s exposed, elevated position, while ensuring the uninterrupted views across the bay were preserved.
