Retrofit Tours: Chart Street Studios x Ian Chalk Architects & Heyne Tillett Steel

Heyne Tillett Steel (HTS) employed Ian Chalk Architects’ (ICA) expertise to plan and oversee the extension of their office on Chart Street to include; additional office space and a new building over the yard.
Being structural and civil engineers, HTS were both the client and engineers for this project. Together, HTS and ICA retained 86% of the existing building structure, reduced material waste and extended the design life of the building. It is no surprise that Chart Street Studios has won several awards including the Structural Timber Awards in 2021, NLA Awards and the AJ Retrofit awards both in the following year. Despite being completed almost two years ago, it continues to attract much interest both from architects and the general public alike.
Join us for a tour of the studios guided by the architects of it and accompanied by engineers from HTS, to discover how it was possible to improve working conditions for the staff at HTS and deliver a highly efficient building whilst creating minimal waste. Stay for the presentation and Q&A with time for mingling after.
