Steel Structures Examples
Jubilee Pool
Steel Structure Building
St. James’ Farm
Where the terraced streets of St. James’ in West Belfast meet the Bog Meadows nature reserve, a piece of vacant, publicly owned land was identified by local people as a potential community resource.
This proactive group of residents decided to put the space to use as an urban farmyard, cultivating some crops and introducing a few livestock.

Camden Market Canopy: Galvanized steel compliments historically sensitive site
The Camden Market Canopy hosts a new bar that is perched alongside a Grade II Listed Horse Hospital and a railway. The lightweight structure has been delicately positioned above the historic built fabric of the Stables Market, on the corner of two busy streets. The design draws on the heritage of its location, with an undulating steel pattern, and acts as crown, signaling North London’s newest hotspot. Bespoke V-shaped columns reference horse stable design, alluding to the history of the site and highlighting the north corner of Camden Market.

The Art Barn
The Art Barn has a simple pallet of materials, mostly natural and local, granite and untreated timber, but where lightness and slenderness is needed steel has been used and always with a galvanised finish.
Urban Regeneration
LJ Works
LJ Works demonstrates how residents can take an active role in sustainable urban regeneration locally, by claiming land for long-term public use – creating space for self-sustaining local economies governed by and for the community.
The project brings industry, growing and community action together as a supportive ecosystem to address systemic social issues and take some control of local regeneration.
Rural community development
Outside
The building is part of a rural community development in South Devon which looks to add to the area’s social and economic life.
It sits amongst a two-acre plot which has space for skateboarding, small-scale farming, and play areas, hosting a cafe, event space, ceramics studio and surfboard shaping workshop. Sited in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where near-barren arable monocultures are often preferred over mixed use regenerative practices, the project serves as a case study for new forms of hyperlocal, sustainable rural development.

World-Class Surf Lake
Sutton Hoo
Sutton Hoo is an Anglo-Saxon Royal Burial Ground, one of the most important archaeological sites in England and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Nissen Richards Studio worked with the National Trust for five years to transform the visitor experience at the site in order to reveal its incredible stories and enhance the significant archaeological landscape.
The project involved creating routes from the new entrance to the Royal Burial Ground along a carefully-choreographed journey, including new thresholds and interpretive moments created through landscaping and architectural interventions, the most major which was a 17 m-high, new-build viewing tower, allowing views over the burial site for the very first time.
World-Class Surf Lake
The Wave
Having taken nine years from planning to completion, the surfing lagoon is powered by 100% renewable electricity, enabling surfing all year round, independent of weather and the tides.
Whilst The Wave isn’t the first artificial surfing lake, its Wavegarden Cove technology does make it a world-first, providing up to 1,000 waves per hour – around a wave every 10 seconds – and generating heights between 0.5 m and 2 m. It is the first destination of its kind in England and offers six surfing zones for up to 80 users at one time.

Southend-on-Sea Pier Structural Repairs
Southend-on-Sea Pier underwent structural repairs. As the city’s most treasured historical icon, Southend-on-Sea Pier is a Grade II listed building and officially the world’s longest pleasure pier reaching out into the Thames Estuary 1.34 miles.
The original timber pier was constructed in the 1800’s, but was superceded by the Iron Pier designed by James Brunless and constructed in 1889. It was extended in 1898 and again in 1929.
