Our project at Freeman Loop is set to redefine the concept of versatile living spaces in North Fremantle, situated just 200 meters from the pristine Leighton Beach. This mixed-use development is underpinned by our expertise in structural engineering, post-tensioned design, and temporary works, ensuring a balance between aesthetic appeal and functional efficiency. The project encompasses a six-storey reinforced concrete frame complemented by a steel roof, designed to withstand the challenging coastal environment. Our focus on durability has led us to employ high-strength concrete and increased cover to reinforcement, safeguarding the structure against the corrosive oceanic elements.
One of the distinctive features of Freeman Loop is the innovative use of mixed slab technologies, combining post-tensioned and reinforced concrete slabs to accommodate the construction methodologies preferred by the builder. This approach not only enhances structural integrity but also offers flexibility in design and execution. Additionally, the proximity to adjacent buildings necessitated the strategic use of precast concrete for boundary walls, maximizing space while ensuring stability and precision in construction.
The project, a collaboration with Australian Development Capital (ADC), MJA Studio, and Thomas Building, aims to introduce a unique living experience with 46 meticulously designed residences. These homes are part of the final phase of development in the Leighton Area.
