Holly Brook House is a residential development featuring 14 apartments within a single block, complemented by two additional apartments in a separate standalone block. The project employed a VST structural frame as the primary load-bearing system, showcasing an innovative off-site technique that led to significant program savings during the construction phase. The foundation design posed unique challenges due to the rapidly sloping ground, descending towards the river below. To address this, our team conducted a thorough site investigation, enabling the efficient use of shallow foundations.

The primary load-bearing structural system of Holly Brook House utilizes VST (Vibration Stress Relief) technology.
This off-site technique not only enhances structural integrity but also results in substantial program savings during the construction phase.

The foundation design for this project was particularly challenging due to the rapidly sloping terrain.
A detailed site investigation conducted by our team facilitated the efficient use of shallow foundations, addressing the unique topography of the site.

Holly Brook House comprises 14 apartments within a single block, providing a cohesive residential development.
Two additional apartments in a standalone block add variety to the housing options, creating a well-balanced and aesthetically pleasing layout.

The utilization of the VST structural frame contributed to significant program savings during the construction phase.
The off-site technology allowed for faster assembly and minimized on-site construction time, enhancing overall project efficiency.

Holly Brook House stands as a testament to efficient engineering and innovative construction techniques. The use of a VST structural frame not only ensures structural resilience but also contributes to program savings, underscoring our commitment to delivering high-quality residential developments. The project's success lies not only in its structural design but also in the thoughtful approach to addressing challenging site conditions, resulting in a harmonious integration of architecture and engineering.
