Completion of Building A & Building B Plant Room

2 blocks, 5 to 7 storeys

The Stage 1 works included construction of Building A across seven-storeys with a major transfer level above the basement carparking. 

The gross floor area for Building A is effectively split into two wings that are interconnected by a terraced walkway. The suspended floors were constructed using post-tensioned materials. 

With a portion of Building B being constructed during Stage 1, the design team were challenged with repositioning new building elements to limit structural modifications to new and/or existing works whilst keeping the impact to the architectural intent to a minimum.
