New Build Coach House
Axwell Hall
Redevelopment

Axwell Hall is a beautiful grade II building built in 1758.

Project Overview

Axwell Hall is a Grade II listed building built in 1758. After serving as a school until 1981, it remained derelict for decades before being redeveloped.

As part of the wider Axwell Hall redevelopment, we provided full structural design services for the construction of a new build coach house within the site.

The coach house was designed as a braced steel frame with masonry infill, providing strength and stability while complementing the heritage setting of the Hall.

The steel frame was engineered to support both the floor and roof structures, while also satisfying lateral stability requirements.

Project Challenges

The project required delivering a new build structure that sat within the grounds of a historic Grade II listed building.

This meant the structural design needed to meet modern performance standards while being sympathetic to its heritage context.

The steel frame also had to be carefully designed to provide stability and integrate with masonry infill panels.

The Solution

We developed a braced steel frame design that provided the necessary strength and lateral stability for the new coach house.

Masonry infill panels were integrated into the frame to create a robust yet contextually appropriate solution.

The frame was designed to efficiently carry roof and floor loads while ensuring long-term durability.

The Outcome

The completed coach house contributes to the wider Axwell Hall redevelopment, creating a high-quality new build structure within a historic setting.

Our structural solutions delivered the strength and stability required while respecting the architectural ambitions of the scheme.

Our Testimonials

My architectural design practice has worked with Shaun and the team for the past 6 years. Their work is always first class with drawings and calculations delivered in a timely manner. I highly recommend their services.

Paul Bell

We engaged The Home Engineers on the recommendation of our building surveyor for a prospective purchase. They surveyed the roof space and advised on a way to stabilise the deflected purlins which we will undertake. Very responsive to questions and clear in advice.

Mark Worthington

Cannot recommend THE Newcastle highly enough. Twice we have used Shaun and the team in the past year, both times have had a positive experience with them. After buying our house, we realised that there may be some structural issues. THE visited the site promptly and diagnosed the issue, explaining in clear and easy terms what we needed to do to correct this issue. We have subsequently used Shaun and the team again to produce the structural designs for the extension we are putting on the house.

Owen Burbidge

Recently had a structural report completed on a house me and my girlfriend are looking to buy. Great service, good price and very fast turnaround. Highly recommend The Home Engineers.
