This contemporary residential development in Santry integrates innovative engineering solutions with modern architectural design. Utilizing reinforced concrete and precast construction, the project ensures structural integrity, durability, and energy efficiency. Strategically located near Santry Demesne Park, it offers residents a high-quality living environment that balances urban convenience with natural surroundings. Designed with a focus on sustainability and long-term performance, the development exemplifies excellence in modern residential construction.

This mixed-use development in Santry consists of three apartment blocks: A, B, and C. Each block is designed as a seven-storey precast concrete crosswall structure, using hollowcore slab units, precast concrete stairs, and in-situ concrete basements.
• Block C was the first to be built, following the same precast crosswall construction approach.
• A five-storey link connects Blocks A and B, incorporating precast and in-situ concrete elements for stability.
• Insitu concrete walls and columns are used where needed to strengthen the overall structure.
Structural Design & Load Transfer
• Precast Concrete Walls: Used for both internal and external load-bearing elements, providing stability.
• Flooring System: Hollowcore slab units with structural screed topping ensure a strong and durable floor system.
• Load Transfer:
o Vertical loads are supported by precast walls, in-situ concrete columns, and steel beams.
o Horizontal loads (wind & notional loads) are transferred via hollowcore slabs and shear walls, keeping the building stable during and after construction.
This project demonstrates the efficiency and durability of precast concrete, allowing for faster construction and long-term structural integrity.
