Robsons Mill, Mellis, Suffolk |
This mill and warehouse has been converted in to single storey apartments and three storey houses.
 The structure was derelict at the commencement of the project, with no future industrial use possible, therefore the only means of conserving the buildings was to convert these for residential use.
To form the three storey houses, it was necessary to extend into the existing roof of the warehouse. The ends of the trusses had rotted. Rather than replace these trusses, the load paths were changed by the introduction of steel posts. Steel angles were bolted either side of the bottom members on to the support walls. These angles also supported the new second floor structure.
