2. Structural Efficiency and Grid Alignment

In mid-rise residential developments, construction speed and cost-efficiency are heavily dependent on the structural grid. Heavy transfer slabs—which are often used to shift loads between mismatched residential and basement layouts—add significant cost and time to a build.

Optimizing the Load Path: Working closely with DKO Architects during the design phase, our team highly optimized the vertical load paths. By carefully aligning the core walls of the residential apartments directly over the core wakks of the basement car park, we minimized the need for complex transfer structures. This highly rationalized approach accelerating the construction schedule and driving down material costs.

3. Executing Architectural Excellence

DKO Architects are renowned for their highly articulated, modern facades. A building’s structural framework must provide an absolutely rigid foundation for these premium external finishes.

Deflection Control: To ensure the long-term integrity of the architectural facade and internal finishes, JSBC engineered the floor slabs and edge beams with extremely tight deflection limits. This precise structural detailing prevents the concrete from sagging over time, ensuring the building’s aesthetic features remain flawless long after handover.
