1759 - 18-20 Greycoat Place

City of Westminster

A mixed-use, new build 7-storey plus basement development in Victoria providing residential units, offices above and retail on the ground floor level.  

Key Features

• The existing basement level has been lowered and the existing brick retaining walls retained and underpinned.
• The ground floor is constructed of RC flat slab spanning between the perimeter retaining walls and internal RC columns.
• The new foundations and basement slab consist of a piled raft foundation utilising bored concrete piles.
• A key challenge of this project was the residential use above office floors. The choice of a long spanning steel frame is suited to the open plan offices floors rather than the cellularised residential floors.
• Thicker concrete floor slabs were introduced, and the residential floors linked to provide sufficient damping against footfall vibration.
