Welcome

Industrial buildings have come a long way since the humble farm shed. Environmental and fire regulations have led to a greater and more creative use of materials and environmental solutions.

At DSDS we use structural details, contemporary materials, and Environmentally Sustainable Design "common sense" to create practical buildings that enhance the visual aspect of the site while providing a healthy working environment. This also has the effect of increasing the value of the premises and helps the business image.

Simple downpipe becomes structural detail. Structure becomes the detail. A tapered column lightens the building's foot print.
Engineering the structure for economy of materials become a design aesthetic. Portal frame forms fly roof over existing workshop for natural convection cooling
