INNSiDE Melia Hotel

The hotel breathes new life into the Quayside and is a leading example of re-purposing an un-occupied site. The building design draws on the industrial heritage of the area, with the building’s brickwork and materials reflecting that. The hotel features an open living lounge with a bar and restaurant, conference facilities, fitness lounge and a covered car park.

The project had complex ground conditions including several lines of existing and historic quay wall structures alongside major sewer infrastructure. Extensive monitoring and surveys were required to ensure this was appropriately understood and factored into the design and construction.

Our structural work involved development of a steel podium structure reaching up to the first floor. A pavilion roof level was designed with the floors being constructed of lightweight steel framing.
