A site visit brought the plans to life and the design work began to incorporate the pipework necessary to reach past the six floors, avoiding the steel framework in the process.

Built in 1844, Sandhurst Windmill was a well-known and much respected landmark which was last worked in 1912. Campbell Reith Hill Consulting Engineers, Redhill, have reconstructed the windmill as a private dwelling incorporating a wind energy generator that produces around 20kw.
