Manor Farm, Owmby

After taking the time to fully understand Paul & Louise’s requirements, the in-house design team at Timmins commenced work. Utilising the very latest technology – CADS Structural Modelling, as well as using TEKLA 3D design software, precise structural designs were prepared.

Precision was key within this build, as the new potato stores needed to connect to the existing agricultural coldstore with minimal disruption to the existing farm sheds. It was also vital that height was maximised at the same time, so there was no opportunity for errors or discrepancies in measurements.

Maintaining Aesthetic Appeal

With a nearby office and several buildings within close proximity, it was important that our team reduced the visual impact of this new building. A brick screening wall, connecting to the existing cladding with a hidden gutter, were all incorporated into the initial designs, reducing the chances of any expensive alterations being needed further down the line.

The difference in levels also required top water interception, to ensure no ingress into the building occurred.

Final Result

The overall finished potato store gave the client the largest practical space, in the right location. Meaning they could carry out their day-to-day operations, whilst creating an aesthetic external appearance.
