Project: Oak View, North London
Architect: PKS Architects
Value: N/A
vkhp-consulting were commissioned to carry out the Civil and Structural design of a luxury house in north London.
The design is highly Architectural and includes a full basement with swimming pool with further accommodation over ground and first floors.
Due to the extensive use of cantilevers and the irregular structural arrangement, a reinforced concrete structural solution was adopted with a lightweight first floor to limit the structural depth of the cantilevers.
vkhp-consulting also designed the comprehensive drainage scheme for the site, which was complicated by the lack of mains drainage and the presence of impermeable London Clay on site.
See our gallery below for photographs of the completed job and during the construction of the project.
