…..cantilevered corner

cantilever-corner.jpg

- Photo taken of a residentail building with mixed use at ground floor, next to Cornexchange Leeds city centre.

- A huge steel beam is neatly concealed behind the signage and cantilevered from two thick grey walls at ground floor.

- Clever design. The weight of the cantilvered structure above has been skillfully distributed between glazing and solid wall to reduce the loading on the suppoting beam below.

- The omission of a column allows the corner to float, provide shelter and an unobstructed route around the building.
