Hollybrook House

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

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.

Key Features

VST Structural Frame:

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.

Efficient Foundation Design:

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.

Residential Development Layout:

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.

Program Savings and Time Efficiency:

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.
