Project Details:
- Location: Bella-Vista, Australia
- Type: Multi-Level Residential Building
- Project Overview:
Bella-Vista Residence demonstrates the seamless integration of structural precision and modern residential design. A reinforced concrete frame, composed of columns, beams, and suspended slabs, provides stability and accommodates both vertical and lateral loads, while cantilevered slab extensions create dramatic architectural overhangs without visible supports. - Materials & Structural Features:
- Reinforced Concrete Frame: Ensures long-term durability and supports cantilevered architectural elements.
- Reinforced Masonry & Shear Walls: Ground floor walls resist lateral loads from wind, enhancing structural stability.
- Lightweight Cladding: Applied on the upper floors to reduce dead load while maintaining thermal efficiency.
- Structural Steel Elements: Strategically used to support façades and large window openings for unobstructed architectural lines.
- Deep Footings & Ground Slab: Transfers loads safely into stable subgrade, accounting for soil conditions.
- Design & Performance Highlights:
- Cantilevered slab extensions allow for elegant overhangs without visible supports.
- Lightweight cladding combined with precision-engineered concrete and steel creates both efficiency and visual refinement.
- The building meets Australian Standards for structural integrity and serviceability, ensuring safety and longevity.
- Key Takeaway:
Bella-Vista Residence is a testament to modern residential engineering, combining concrete durability, steel precision, and architectural sophistication to deliver a building that is as robust as it is visually compelling.
