New Build Holiday Let

Architect (TBC), The Home Engineers

  1. New Builds – It’s a bespoke new build holiday let.
  2. Steel Connection Design – The project required complex details to integrate the hybrid steel and glulam frame, especially around the glazing and roof junctions.
  3. Structural Engineering Services – Core service: producing the full structural design package.

The Requirements:

Achieve expansive apex glazing and vaulted dual-pitched ceilings without compromising lateral stability. Develop hybrid steel + glulam solutions and connection details that preserve the clean architectural intent while supporting floors/roofs and meeting buildability needs.

The Solution:

We engineered a hybrid steel and glulam frame to carry primary loads and provide the required stability. Working closely with the Architect, we refined connection detailing around the apex glazing and roof interfaces, coordinating the frame to maintain slender sightlines and a coherent package ready for issue.

The Outcome:

A light-filled, spacious holiday let with large apex glazing and vaulted ceilings, supported by a discreet, efficient structure. The coordinated package streamlines fabrication/installation and safeguards long-term performance.

Why Clients Choose The Home Engineers

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.

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.

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.
