Building Exterior

The photo shows a building exterior wall that stands on its own without the actual building, four storeys height. A unique project in central London looks at the sight as a very structured and well conservated multifaceted exterior of either public or residential buildings in a row. The brick building exterior shows lots of elements and rich exterior details from around two hundred years ago.

To avoid the loss of beautiful street panoramas and concept of the buildings, the exterior walls were kept with the structural and architectural project which made it stand in the buildings row without the building slabs. Between the exterior is a scaffolding of steel and wooden elements that keeps the exterior walls horizontal beams and vertical pillars and all of its details such as the brick walls, door openings, window openings and decoration in place without the building slabs connecting the exterior building walls.

The project shows a unique way of conservating and adapting a building exterior to a new, modern and different use with the latest technology which is used in architectural projects such as this one is. The cost of such projects can vary although it does depend also on the owner of the buildings and location.
