Partridge provided the structural engineering for this bespoke Northern Beaches residence, working closely with Genton and Pacific Plus Constructions to resolve several complex design and construction challenges. A standout feature is the steel framing that supports the first floor, including a rear span where a column suspends the first-floor beam from the roof structure to maintain the open plan and uninterrupted glazing. Off-form concrete was central to the architectural vision, with a cantilevered tapered edge running the length of the ground floor and polished concrete slabs folded neatly around structural elements. The exposed concrete soffit doubles as the internal ceiling, requiring careful reinforcement detailing around recessed lighting and door tracks. Additional engineering highlights include a green roof pergola, cantilevered precast stair treads, and a folded brass façade on aluminium battens.
