Challenges and solutions

To achieve the client's architecture requirements and custom building design, we created links between the different pods, allowing for multiple floor levels and designing the steelwork around a custom chimney. We also engineered the steelwork to accommodate the stone-faced fibre cement wall cladding.

A forty-five degree roof pitch was specified by the client for aesthetic effect which was incorporated into our steelwork design.

As the site location was at high risk of bushfires, our building was designed to the BAL40 standard which will protect the building from catching on fire in the presence of windborne embers and small secondary fires.
