Davies Maguire are delighted to have been shortlisted for the Building Awards in two categories: Engineering Consultant of the Year and Retrofit Project of the Year for 7 Princes Street.

It’s great to see recognition for our work on a multitude of complex and innovative structural projects, from residential high-rise to major commercial developments, to latent capacity refurbishments and deep retrofit schemes.

Particular focus is on 7 Princes Street, the two-storey extension of an existing eight-storey 1970s building to acheive a 10% increase in net internal area, while retaining over 90% of the existing concrete frame.

The outdated building has been converted into a modern workplace with better daylight, improved ventilation, external amenity space and enhanced end-of-trip facilities, demonstrating how creative engineering can transform spaces without defaulting to demolition.
