The Yacht, Torquay

We provided commercial structural refurbishment services for The Yacht, a new bar and restaurant located in Victoria Parade on the Torquay harbourside.

Formerly known as Cinnabar, the waterfront venue was remodelled and structurally enhanced to suit modern commercial needs. The two-storey bar and restaurant includes a working distillery area for producing infused gins in-house.

Structural Engineering Throughout the Project Lifecycle
Our commercial structural engineering team supported every stage, from design assessment to structural modifications and final inspection.

The renovation involved extensive structural reworking of the old building. This included roof works and internal structural alterations to open up the space and improve flow for guests and staff, as well as infilling of old internal voids to create additional space.

Balcony Refurbishment and Extension
Work also involved making safe rotting timberwork and the installation of a new larger front balcony, which anchors back into the existing floor structure. The result is a safe, flexible and inviting space for locals and visitors to the area.

Working Collaboratively on Torbay Regeneration Projects
This is one of several Devon venues we have engineered for the East Street Pub Company in recent years – including Twenty1, Arena and Viva; the popular sports bar and restaurant on Victoria Parade.

We take pride in collaborating with local partners to engineer commercial and residential development projects that positively add to the ongoing regeneration of Torquay and surrounding areas.
