Project Summary
The project involved constructing a new building within a dense urban setting, requiring careful integration with surrounding structures. GAA Design’s strategic use of a lightweight steel framing system ensured the scheme fit seamlessly into its complex environment.
Working closely with SFS Ltd, the team developed an innovative solution that enabled construction without disrupting residents’ access to their car park—demonstrating thoughtful planning and respect for the existing community.
Successful
In the end, the implementation of the scheme can be aptly described as highly successful. GAA Design’s dedication to problem-solving, open communication, and their ability to navigate complex construction scenarios ultimately culminated in the realization of a project that not only met regulatory standards but also seamlessly integrated into the existing urban fabric. This accomplishment underscores their reputation as a design firm capable of delivering outstanding results even in challenging contexts.
Achievement
One notable achievement of GAA Design was their leadership in guiding the project team towards achieving a coveted A rating for the EWS 1 (External Wall System) certificate. This certification is essential for building safety and compliance, particularly in the wake of heightened scrutiny following fire safety concerns in many residential developments. Despite encountering several challenges throughout the project’s lifecycle, GAA Design’s proactive and solution-oriented approach, coupled with a receptive contractor, enabled them to overcome each obstacle.
