Structural engineering services for the design and construction of a new extension, housing a swimming pool at a high status, period property in Felixstowe. To provide a sense of integrity and continuity with the original features of the house and gardens, the pool was designed specifically to mirror the shape of a fountain found within the gardens. The extension has been constructed to enclose the elegantly shaped half crescent moon pool, with a spectacular and complex roof structure completing this challenging project.

Problematic ground conditions, with the discovery of a natural spring running through the site, were resolved through the use of an interlocking sheet piled foundation system. The single-storey structure is unmistakably modern, but has been designed to sit sympathetically within its location, with a pitched, curvilinear roof design, featuring specially sourced triangular roof tiles.

This project won ISG Jackson a Craftsmanship Award in April 2008.
