Health Zone
Wimbledon, London
The project consisted of the mixed brief of a health food shop, health
food cafe with associated Kitchen, three consulting rooms with an office
and toilet facilities.
The original building was Victorian and was in a very poor state of repair. Considerable
structural repairs were necessary to meet Building Regulation requirements which
were very onerous, particularly regarding means of escape.
New fire escape stairs and purpose designed glazed fire screens were incorporated
whilst existing roofs and balustrading were renewed.
The design concept was a modern style consisting of large clear glazing with
a stainless steel frame, tall glazed entrance door with stainless steel hinges,
floating suspended ceiling with low voltage lighting and oak floor with new stainless
steel glass and oak service stairs to the first floor cafe.
