We worked hard to minimise the structural depth of this column-free, cantilever roof, helping to achieve the epic proportions of this very special rear extension designed by @mata_architects .

Sometimes more can mean less when it comes to structural engineering.
Investing in more engineering time will significantly reduce the cost of structure for clients and work more harmoniously with the architecture.
Our recent project with @dominicmckenziearchitects and @ict.projects achieved a 4m column-free cantilever corner.

Phase 1 establishes a space for @flukes_e17 above. Phase 2 will transform the volume below into a new events and performance venue.

Another beautiful finished project with @mata_architects published online showing how thoughtfully designed structure can be integrated into the architecture.

Completed last summer by @goldsteinheatherarchitecture & @ict.projects , this four-storey extension to a family home in a London conservation area has been designed and constructed with a hybrid timber and steel internal structure to reduce embodied carbon.

We recently received professional photos by @frenchandtye for Float Structures' first completed full project, a fully refurbished and extended family home in Queen's Park, London.
The design by @mata_architects significantly enhanced the previous owners' approved planning scheme by lowering the floor level of the rear addition and the garden to create a more spacious rear living area.
@floatstructures invested time in the structural design to significantly reduce steel quantities compared to the previous scheme, saving cost and lowering embodied carbon.

Significant progress on site with a project in Buckinghamshire, transforming a pre-war detached house into an extended, contemporary family home.
Where steel framing is needed to suit the client's vision, Float Structures invest time in designing bespoke framing for each project to minimise the amount of steel needed and to integrate it seamlessly into the architecture.

Exciting progress on a CLT extension in East London! Delighted to specify sustainable materials, all coming together beautifully. Can't wait to see the finished project! @construktclt

We started work on this project around 18 months ago, supporting the client and @studio_howson with the Westminster City Council planning application for basement development. Now it' great to see the works well underway.
We've used our experience to understand the structure of the original building and how it's been modified in the past, working with the charm, character and challenges of this historic building to help create a contemporary new family home.

Thrilled to see the hempblock insulation being added to the structural timber framing on our residential project with @goldsteinheatherarchitecture .
@ict.projects are progressing quickly on site with the structure and it's looking great. Some localised steel elements to cope with large open plan spaces, but mostly loadbearing timber walls and transfer decks.
