Project Overview:
This beachfront residence exemplifies structural excellence and coastal durability. Designed with a reinforced concrete system, it withstands the harsh marine environment while offering an elegant, modern living space. Every detail, from foundation to façade, has been engineered to resist the challenges of salt-laden winds, sandy soils, and coastal erosion.
Materials & Structural Features:
- Reinforced Concrete Columns, Beams & Slabs: Provide long-term stability and durability in corrosive coastal conditions.
- Marine-Grade Reinforcement: Protects against chloride attack and corrosion from salt-laden air.
- Deep Concrete Footings: Transfer loads safely into stable strata, accommodating sandy soil conditions.
- Hot-Dip Galvanized Structural Steel: Used for balconies and large window openings to enhance corrosion resistance.
- Lightweight Cladding & Glazing: Reduces dead load while maintaining thermal efficiency and aesthetics.
Design & Performance Highlights:
- Cantilevered slabs allow unobstructed balconies with clean architectural lines.
- Reinforced shear walls and lateral bracing provide comfort and serviceability under high coastal winds and storm conditions.
- The structural system balances performance, durability, and design intent, ensuring resilience and visual appeal.
Key Takeaway:
The beachfront residence stands as a robust, visually striking home, engineered to withstand coastal challenges while providing modern, elegant living.
