Structural work

Nine images from one house whose ground floor was opened up. What a wall stops carrying, something else has to take: a steel beam on props, reinforcement across the floor, and then the brickwork and finishing around it.

Carrying and propping

A steel beam on props where the rear façade opens up, reinforcement across the hollow-core floor, and the cage of the wall that takes the terrace.

  • Breakthrough in the rear façade: a steel beam rests on red props, with three workers by a rolling tower beneath it.

  • Reinforcement mesh over a hollow-core floor with edge formwork, the garden and the existing façade behind.

  • Reinforcement cage and black formwork of a retaining wall, running straight along a freshly poured concrete terrace.

Façade and brickwork

Closing the opening again in brick, laying facing brick from the platform, and the profile that finishes the plinth.

  • Two crew members laying facing brick above a garage opening; one is working from a step ladder.

  • Two bricklayers on a scaffold platform laying facing brick beneath a concrete canopy.

Roof, gutter and terrace

Torching the roof edge, setting the gutter profile on its brackets, and the reinforcement of the terrace slab.

  • From the basket of a lift, the roof-edge finish is torched along the façade.
