71 on Garfield

The 71 on Garfield project is a 42-storey residential tower located in Gold Coast, designed by DBI Architects for Iris Capital. This slender reinforced concrete structure stands at 150 meters tall, with a challenging 12:1 slenderness ratio. As the structural engineering consultants, we addressed the lateral stability requirements essential for maintaining comfort levels for the building’s occupants. This was achieved through carefully planned lateral stability systems, optimized for a tower of such height and slenderness.

The project includes six basement levels constructed using a diaphragm wall (D-Wall) system to manage water ingress due to its beachfront location. To expedite construction, the basement is being built with a top-down construction technique. The development, comprising 51 apartments and a two-level beach house, aims to offer luxurious coastal living with a range of premium amenities, including private plunge pools in select residences.
The project is currently under construction, set to offer high-end, spacious apartments designed for owner-occupiers and holiday makers alike, further contributing to the ongoing transformation of Gold Coast’s skyline
