BCHN have had a long standing relationship with the Restaurant owners of No.4 Butcher Row in Shrewsbury, undertaking various Planning Applications on a Grade II listed building. The project removed the roof from the later single storey extension to No.4 and built off the existing masonry wall to provide a first floor extension and ‘Bridge Link’ to the adjacent property of No.23A St Mary’s Street. The first floor was built up from the existing masonry walls primarily supported by a new structural timber frame that also support a mezzanine. The mezzanine is located so that it is displaced from the original rear façade of No.4 Butcher Row. In between the existing rear façade and the mezzanine is a double height space - where the contrast between old and new can be clearly seen. The first floor extension is clad with black stained timber to provide a contrast to the existing red brick. A bridge link stitches together No 4 and 23a.
