Practice

Michael Hadi Associates is a practice of structural engineers that takes pride in the design of elegant yet economic and robust structures that are appropriate to the project brief.

Finding for each scheme the correct balance between quality, cost, sustainability,innovation and programme is an activity that genuinely informs every aspect of our working methods.

Our holistic approach is based on close liaison with the design team to ensure a complete understanding of the needs of each project and to see that the structure is fully integrated within the scheme.

The practice’s standard service extends beyond principle structural elements to include those tertiary structures that are often neglected by others but which have a strong influence on the appearance, functionality, buildability and cost of a scheme.

The practice employs state-of-the-art software for structural analysis. We are careful, however, not to allow complex analyses obscure our subjective understanding of structural behaviour and all analyses are checked with simple, often ‘rule of thumb’, hand analyses.

Successful communication of ideas and principles is fundamental to the success of every project. During the early stages of projects we illustrate the structural options with lucid sketches; this allows for the rapid review of a wide range of options. Thereafter, working drawings are produced using our CAD systems.

The success of our approach is reflected in the many prizes and awards received for our work.

The practice works with all construction materials and in all building sectors. Project values range from £25K to £60M.

sliding house,suffolk

This self-build project presents a modern reinterpretation of the vernacular long-barns of Suffolk. This extraordinary piece of experimental architecture features a wheeled outer carapace that rolls on tracks over an inner structure to provide infinitely variable insulation, shading, light and mood for the house. The 16 tonne outer carapace comprises a steel portal frame with larch cladding and insulation and is driven by car battery powered electric motors hidden within the carapace. The inner enclosure is formed with timber stud and joist cassette and industrial-scale greenhouse construction. A piled foundation was specified to provide sufficient stiffness to ensure the correct functioning of the sliding carapace. A ground source loop provides heating and cooling via heat exchangers.

This new building provides post-graduate and fellows housing and communal facilities on a backlands site behind existing college buildings.

The structure comprises a reinforced concrete plateau, part at grade and part at first floor level, supporting a cross–laminated timber structure.

Cross-laminated timber was selected because of rapid erection periods, sustainability, omission of wet trades, inherent fire rating and factory quality self-finishes.

The scheme featured structural modifications and refurbishment of the existing building at the abutment with the new structure.

The project features rainwater harvesting and solar thermal collectors.

This new pavilion on the Blackpool seafront houses a wedding venue, bistro, outdoor dining terraces overlooking the sea, a tourist information centre and auxiliary office spaces. Complex groundworks featuring a raft foundation and sheet piles were required to mediate between historical and new sea and retaining walls and to avoid surcharge to a 3m diameter sewer beneath the building.

A cross-laminated timber superstructure was selected for rapid erection periods, sustainability, absence of wet trades, inherent fire resistance and factory quality finish. The structure features post-tensioned timber walls to deal with creep and to permit construction of the large cantilevered ceremony hall. The proposals achieved a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating during the design stage, with post-construction evaluation yet to be carried out.

Yew Tree Lodge in Hillingdon is a shel-tered housing scheme for 12 special needs tenants in the grounds of a Grade II listed Arts and Crafts building design by Edward Prior.

The structure utilises a very conven-tional, even prosaic, palette of materials (trussed rafter roof with terracotta tiles, load-bearing masonry walls, pre-cast concrete floors and reinforced concrete ground beams supported on CFA piles) carefully detailed to produce a building of quality, robustness and flexibility for future use.

Due to high levels of CO2 found during the soil investigation, a gas membrane was provided under the ground floor finishes along with a suspended floor and appropriate venting.

The refurbishment of this large comprehensive school in Dulwich was completed over a period of five years and 30 phases of work. We participated with the design team, pupils and staff at the school together with the local community to develop the brief.

A key element of the project was the colonisation of the existing courtyard to provide circulation, an assembly area, dining hall and auditorium beneath a variable opacity inflated ETFE (ethyl tetra fluoro ethylene) roof.

The 300-seat auditorium superstructure comprises a geodesic shell of 150mm diameter larch poles with bespoke aluminium and steel nodes. The shell is supported on a steel chassis with precast concrete seating. The main school library occupies the space beneath the seating.

This extension to a Victorian Board school adds functionality to a successful primary school, rated as outstanding in the most recent Ofsted review.

The main block of the extension, wrapped in a vibrant and continuously varying polychromatic skin, provides additional learning spaces and offices. The liminal space between the main block and original board school creates a formal entrance and vertical circulation that provides full DDA access to the original and new building.

In response to the sensitivity of the site, in a conservation area and adjacent to a listed building, the 4-storey extension is contained within the height of the original 3-storey Victorian building.

The structure comprises attenuated reinforced concrete flat slabs supported on concrete-filled circular hollow steel columns with a reinforced concrete stair core.

kingsdale school phase IIdulwich

The Music and Sports complex completes the redevelopment of Kingsdale School and is the largest example of a cross-laminated solid timber prefabricated building for schools realised in the UK.

Cross-laminated timber was selected for the superstructure in preference to a steel frame based on improved on-site erection periods, sustainability, omission of wet trades, factory quality finishes and the good health connotations of using timber. The solid timber system offered structure and internal finish in one sustainable, economic package.

The sports hall provides the large functional volume as required by Sports England and the DfES with maximum flexibility for different user-groups.

In order to provide the necessary acoustic separation, the music building comprises several free-standing structures; this proved to be a more economic solution than providing a single structure with acoustic linings.

Music and Sport may be seen as a demonstration project for the future delivery of fast and ecologically sound education buildings.

MHA worked with Delvendahl Martin Architects to create an architectural window installation for menswear brand Moss Bros, as part of the RIBA Regent Street Windows Project.

Practices were tasked with creating a spatial installation to reflect the retailer’s brand whilst also responding to the theme of ‘play’.

The design distorts the perception of depth and perspective as viewed from the street using hundreds of cotton strings stitched the edges of the window space to form a series of seemingly floating voids in which Moss Bros products are be displayed.

The material expression of the cotton strings recalls the raw materials of garments, the loom-based manufacturing process of cloth, and the craftsmanship of the Moss Bespoke service.

This scheme involved the partial refurbishment of a large terrace house on a garden square and the demolition and reconstruction of the mews house to the rear with a new basement behind a retained façade.

The courtyard between the main and mews houses was infilled to create a largeterrace and a 4 storey hall containing astone and steel stair.

The rebuilt mews house features exposedfair-faced concrete slabs and walls. The concrete uses a recycled material to form the aggregate, ground granulated blast furnace slag, so as to minimise the embodied energy of the construction andalso to provide a visually paler concrete than a standard mix.

The building has an open loop ground source heat pump & exposed concrete surfaces to control the internal environment.

The project involves structural engineering design for relocation of the Library and Learning Resource Centre (LRC) to ground floor level of a 1930s building.

Key features of the project include: colonistation of an existing external court beneath a glazed roof supported on the external walls of the original building; modifications to the internal layout of the original building achieved by reframing works; assessment and strengthening of existing structures to correct inherent defects and to allow for new air conditioning equipment.

The building has been extended into the external courtyard beneath a glazed roof. The interface between the courtyard extension and existing building has been made “more permeable” with major and minor openings in the original external wall.

The roof utilises lightweight tied steel arches with cable bottom chords bearing onto the existing masonry piers at the perimeter of the courtyard.

This large new build house on the bank of the Thames is formed of two two-story wings containing the main accommodation, and a single story wing containing an indoor pool and gym with a large basement plant room.

It achieves high levels of insulation and air tightness through the use of prefabricated load bearing timber cassettes. These arrived on site with the air barrier and insulation in place simplifying erection and ensuring high quality with few leaks. This highly efficient system was combined with a ground source heat pump to provide heating and cooling as required, further reducing energy demand of the house.

The site is within the functional flood plain of the Thames so a micro piled, flat slab foundation was chosen to resist uplift due to regular flooding of the site while minimising disturbance during construction on the quiet rural site.

The project also involved the refit of an existing boathouse, including enlarging window openings and adding insulation to the walls to create an apartment for guests on the upper floor.

grace health club, belgravia, londonConversion of an upper floor of a Grade II listed 1830s shopping arcade in the Belgravia Conservation Area. The space accommodates an exclusive health club, spa, gym and restaurant.

MHA designed two new mezzanine floors, which due to headroom constraints were detailed to very slender structural depths. New works had to be integrated with the historic cast iron, timber and masonry structure as well as extensive alterations and strengthening carried out in the early 2000s. Due to the long spans, lightweight construction and sensitive use of the floors, assessing and controlling footfall induced vibration was a key consideration.

Other structural modifications included strengthening of existing floors to enable installation of numerous heavyweight items of spa and gym equipment.

Due to the presence of a supermarket below and offices above, access for the works was only available from within the clients immediate demise. Low level strengthening works had to be located within false floors. When these were removed as part of the soft-strip, vigilant oversight of health and safety practice was necessary to minimise the risk of steelwork, plant or debris falling through plaster ceilings and injuring building users below. The building was situated within the Grosvenor Estate, with whom MHA liaised to agree consent for the structural works.

This development on a site fronting onto Highbury Fields in Islington consists of a four-storey block of thirteen flats, two three-storey blocks of six flats and ten detached three-storey houses.

The site had remained undeveloped since WW2, primarily due to the presence of five railway tunnels under the site. In particular the crown of the large brick Canonbury Tunnel is only 7m below ground level and is therefore highly sensitive to both additional load and the removal of exting loads; the tunnel is also too close to the site boundary to allow space for conventional piling.

The foundation system adopted for part of the four-storey block and which unlocked the value of the site for development comprises hand-dug large diameter sleeved and under-reamed piles on both sides of the Canonbury Tunnel along with burried steel bridging transfer trusses: Network Rail permitted hand-dug piles within a piling exclusion zone on the basis that the hand digging and sleeving would not damage the tunnel.Other foundations comprise balanced raft foundations that maintain the load on the tunnels at historic levels. Deflections of the tunnel walls were monitored throughout construction.

The superstructures comprise load bearing masonry walls, in-situ reinforced concrete floors and carpentered timber roofs. The detached houses feature a hot-rolled steel frame with cold-formed steel joist floors and a timber trussed rafter roof.

A new home and summerhouse replace the original farmhouse on the site.

The structure of the single-storey house is of prefabricated Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) and engineered roof joists. The SIP Panels and roof ply diaphragm provide stability.

Flush ceilings, large unhindered glazed elevations and cantilevered canopies are created working with the inherent properties of these products, assisted by two steel portal frames and an upstand glulam beam. The substucture consists trench fill footings with a beam and block floor.

A loft has been created above a summerhouse to provide alternative accommodation for the existing bat colony. A deep storey-high plywood beam was used in the loft to transfer the roof load back to a triangulated truss.

The house employs ground source heating, photovoltaics and is oriented to take advantage of passive heating in autumn, winter and spring. Post occupation monitoring of energy consumption is ongoing.

This building was the winner of an RIBA competition held in 2005 that attracted over 230 entries.

The site, on Black Fell in the Kielder Forest, was chosen for its remoteness and consequent lack of light pollution.

The building is a physical manifestation of an absolute commitment to sustainable construction and technologies.

Accommodation includes two rotating telescope enclosures with manual rack and pinion drive mechanisms, a warm room and an observation deck.

Site conditions were challenging; delivery of materials to the site was via a crude un-made track; the slope of the site was too steep for a piling rig, which ruled out the preferred foundation solution of driven timber piles; and there were no existing services to the site.

The all timber structure comprises a braced frame beneath floor level. The super-structure incorporates stressed-skin panels to achieve large roof overhangs and cantilever portions of the rotating turrets.

The building is autonomous for all servicing needs: power is generated by a wind turbine and photo-voltaics; there is a wood-burning stove to provide heat; and the toilet is composting.

This Grade II former Methodist Chapel from 1867 had fallen into disrepair and was on English Heritage’s Register of Buildings at Risk.

The recent refurbishment to create a gallery for modern art involved extensive repairs to the fabric to assure the long-term future of the building together with works to improve safety and accessibility. MHA worked with English Heritage to devise appropriate solutions to the problems which were sympathetic to the original fabric. Cintec ties were cored into the original fabric and grouted into position to stitch across the masonry cracks. The gable wall was humoured back into line with the wall rebuilt where necessary reusing the existing bricks set in lime mortar. The most difficult problem to resolve was the balustrade; rather than rebuilding the balustrade to comply with modern day codes, a solution was devised that worked with the existing fabric whilst quite evidently being legible asaa modern day intervention. Although the final solution did not comply with modern strength requirements, it provided significantly greater restraint than the original.

Hakkasan have introduced two new restaurants under their brand: Chrysan (Japanese) and HKK (Chinese). The restaurants are located on the ground floor of a building on the fridges of the City that had originally been designed for office use.

Challenges presented by these highly serviced restaurants included the support of significant amounts of air-handling plant, their structured access, and its acoustic treatment. In one instance the acoustic treatment had to battle noise equivalent to that produced by a jet engine. Some 100 service holes, up to 600 x 300mm, also had to be diamond cored through the existing 400mm thick ground floor structure.

The serenity of the simple interiors is testimony to the success of the intervention. The interior of Chrysan is elegant and simple and displays the craftsmanship of Yoshiaki Nakamura, whereas the interior of HKK has been completely designed by Hakkasan’s talented in-house design team.
