DNRC Game House
Leicester
– Overview –
The Gamehouse is a brick, timber and tile structure at Stanford Hall near Loughborough, which is to be moved from its current site, stored, and then replaced in a new location within the DNRC development.
Our proposal was that the structure could be relocated in one piece, using proven methods and techniques although challenging this was a success. A purpose made lifting frame was designed and installed to ensure the building could be lifted, transported and unloaded. The building is now resting in the heritage compound awaiting its restoration.
