As part of the Laing O'Rourke and Olympia London development, DBR masons have returned the Grand Hall south elevation to its former original glory

The elevation had been subjected to extensive historic adaptions. The project team was faced with the challenge of designing and integrating a new façade to the much-altered substrate

Using the surviving East elevation as a template to capture stone details, a design was achieved, with masonry built into and onto the surviving walls

Combining traditional stonemasonry techniques with contemporary structural repair methods, we have successfully installed the new brick and Portland stone façade, complete with new central window

DBR Contracts Director Brendan Foley says “Our site team are extremely proud of their achievements. Successfully using their traditional masonry methods and skills, within a contemporary build environment, they have ensured that the faithfully restored façade can be enjoyed by all”

Have you got a project that you would like to discuss with a professional member of our team?
