The project was to provide a new Headquarters building for the Kent County Football Association, to include general office accommodation and a Council Chamber. The construction site is within the grounds of Cobdown House in Ditton, adjacent the small stream that passes through the grounds.

Structural Principles

Substructure – Mass concrete pad footings and strip foundations nominally reinforced due to slight variations in the bearing strata. A full surface water retention system was utilised beneath the car parking areas.

Superstructure – A two storey steel frame with transfer beams at first floor to allow large open plan Council Chamber at ground floor.

Roofs and Elevations – Externally the building was clad with horizontal timber boarding. The roof was finished in a stacking seam roof system. Feature cantilever corner details were incorporated where the elevations were in close proximity to the river bank
