Multi-Residential

Nursery Street, Hornsby

4 blocks of three storey walk-up apartments using traditional load-bearing brickwork and in situ concrete floor slabs.  The Council set-backs and partially buried carpark required large cantilevered ground beams held down by ground anchors in order to achieve column-free carparking.

Bronte Road, Bronte

20 Battery Street, Clovelly

Three large townhouses with basement and lower level excavation in loose sand using tied-back contiguous piers and diagonal braces where no permission was given to anchor across boundary.

Cowan Road, St Ives

Stepped residential development cut down the hillside to golf course.  Load bearing masonry walls and suspended concrete slab construction.

Buckingham Street, Surry Hills

A 4-storey "internal" development consisting of a new concrete framed structure and basement carpark built inside an existing church hall.  The walls needed to be retained and this required shoring, underpinning, bracing and final fixing to the new internal structure.

52 Bay Street, Rockdale

8-storey residential and retail building, with cantilevered upper level winter gardens.  Structure was concrete-framed, post-tensioned flat plate slabs and steel-framed and bondek penthouse level.

Owen & Gordon Streets, Port Macquarie

5-storey residential development with two storey basement excavation.  Structure resolved to minimise load transfer and achieve one transfer slab over basement carpark.

Avoca Street, Randwick

5-storey residential and retail complex with 2 floors of underground parking in sandy and rock excavation surrounded by shops, church and residential developments.

19 Collins Avenue, Rose Bay

Architect:  Misho & Associates. 

Anzac Parade, Kingsford

40, two and three bedroom unit development built over 6 retail outlets, in loose sands using tied-back contiguous piers.  Structure was concrete framed with post tensioned suspended typical floors and transfer level of beams.

60 Beach Road, Bondi

3-storey residential with one basement in sand using contiguous piers and battered excavation.

Cope Street, Redfern

4-storey unit block on poor ground requiring an economic pile layout.  Lack of carpark headroom dictated a beam-free transfer slab and the party walls themselves were designed as deep hanger beams.  Partridge Partners also designed the structure for a Richard Goodwin parasitic sculpture on the street façade.
