Conversion and adaptive re-use of an iconic, 80 year-old, heritage-listed Woolstore to residential and commercial use including an additional level of reinforced concrete carpark slab.
Lot 790, Port Coogee
Founded on difficult ground conditions including Karstic coastal limestone, this 9-storey concrete residential development made use of deep-wall elements to eliminate structural transfer and to assist with overcoming variable ground conditions.
Fairlanes
27-storey mixed residential and commercial tower which was the recipient of a 2012 UDIA award. It featured a street-level plaza, terraced amphitheatre and 4-level underground car park.
Pelago Apartments
This 8 multi-storey mixed use development was the first of its kind in Australia’s North West. Designed for cyclonic conditions, the majority of structural elements were fabricated in Perth and transported to site to minimise on-site trades and facilitate remote-site construction.
Eric has always demonstrated a high level of diligence and professionalism and an ability to understand our objectives to deliver efficient and collaborative solutions. Project documentation has always been of a high quality and has consistently been delivered within tight timeframes. Arising construction-stage site issues have been dealt with quickly and efficiently in a cooperative and pro-active manner.
