Construction Period 01/2014 - 10/2014
Foundations
As we were faced with a poor ground surface, we were compelled to
construct the building on pile foundations.
Steel
The building showroom is designed in steel. Steel was the obvious choice
considering we had to design a round facade.
The difficult aspect of this project was the development of the showroom.
The request was to design a structure with no wind bracing visible in
the facades. This meant we had to transfer the forces to the concrete
structure through the showroom roof.
There are also a number of trusses concealed in the facade. These are all
incorporated into the structure so also no longer visible.
Concrete structure
The workplace and a part of the offices are designed in concrete. This
was sufficient to adhere to the necessary fire-resistance requirements
made by the fire service.
