Project Challenges

At Robert Bird Group, we led the structural design of the development, which includes retail, hotel, office, leisure, and car parking facilities.

The construction solution typically comprised steel frames with composite floor slabs for the superstructure and reinforced concrete construction within the substructure. It was important for the design to incorporate significant flexibility for future adaptations and extensions to the base-build structure, including additional basement excavation and additional floors above the existing structure.
