The crew replaced the bases of supports embedded in concrete as well as included building plyboard where essential to make certain load-bearing ability. Horizontal strength was accomplished by securing the braces along with dental braces. The earthen wall surfaces delivered sufficient insulation, supplemented by glass woollen in brand-new wall surfaces and extruded polystyrene froth underneath the flooring.

This created a 2.1-meter-high catwalk, providing a decreased roof elevation of 2.33 meters in the shop. The footway makes it possible for natural illumination to enhance the presence of the timber frame.
