Executive summary
This case study explores the measured survey and subsequent design proposal for the conversion of a warehouse at Lismarrine Industrial Park, Elstree, Borehamwood, UK. The project aims to repurpose the existing structure into high specification new office spaces, a gym, a hydroponics farm and restaurant as well as enhancing the utilities.
Project overview
Location: Lismarrine Industrial Park, Elstree, Borehamwood WD6 3EE, UK
Objective: To conduct a measured survey to inform a redevelopment plan for converting and renovating a warehouse into a contemporary mixed-use facility.
End Use: High-spec offices, gym, hydroponics farm and restaurant.
Context and background
The warehouse at Lismarrine Industrial Park, was previously used for industrial storage and operations. The site is in an ideal location to act as community hub and this transformation is part of wider regional development plans to regenerate the area through business growth.
Measured survey
Methodology
Our team employed advanced laser scanning technology and traditional surveying techniques to capture the warehouse’s structural details accurately. The comprehensive data collection included critical dimensions, structural integrity assessments, and spatial layout analysis.
Findings
Our survey results showed the existing warehouse building had a robust structural framework suitable for the intended building renovations. The comprehensive survey also identified areas where structural reinforcements would be needed to accommodate the new design requirements and usage patterns.
Conclusion
The Lismarrine Industrial Park project sets a precedent for the innovative transformation of industrial spaces into multi-functional urban environments. Real Scan’s meticulous measured survey laid the groundwork for a design that is both aspirational and practical and will redefine the local landscape.
