+ STRUCTURAL CONCEPT The overall constructural concept of the design is to keep original mass solid brick constructed walls and exterior as a shell, whilst demolishing and rebuilding the interior and changing some of the original exterior. Timber frame construction is the main new construction being used. Timber was also used as a flooring system, where the original floor was built over. However, in sections of the building new concrete stumps were used to replace timber stumps, as a major support system instead of a typical slab
