PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Judge's comment: The ambition of the brief for this project “to create a new residential typology which was lean, flexible and driven by a standardised and prefabricated approach” can be seen in the finished building from the thin external blade wall arrangement to the cable stayed balconies and flexible internal space. This project is a good example of the role of the structural engineer being fully integrated with the entire design and construction team resulting in a different and improved solution from convention. Working together and investing in research and development and exploration of new and different solutions is commendable and resulted in greater efficiency, sustainability and value.
