Abstract
Refurbishment of Winterton House, tower block in Tower Hamlets, involved stripping back to the steel frame, which was unable to support the new, heavier concrete floors and proposed brickwork cladding. An independent, self-supporting masonry wall was constructed outside the frame and a steel truss transfer structure used to connect the tops of the masonry and frame. Jacking against the transfer structure was used to apply tension to the frame and compression to the brickwork. Architects: Hunt Thompson.
