ATRIUM APARTMENTS
Marra completed the Atrium Apartments in March 2001 within the $7million contract budget and ahead of the initial programme duration of 11 months.
The complex consists of 7 floors and 60 self contained apartments constructed around a glass roofed atrium with grou nd floor and basement parking. On site facilities include a swimming pool and spa pool, a sauna and a gymnasium.
The basement carpark is constructed below the water table and required a full dewatering and sheet piling system during the excavation and initial structure construction stage. The structure consisted of reinforced concrete shear walls and concrete block exterior walls with a mixture of insitu and precast concrete floor slabs. The exterior walls were then coated with a durable plastered finishing system. Windows and doors are powder coated aluminium, with sliding doors to tiled balconies and a fully glazed handrail system to all balconies.
Internally, apartment interiors have a painted finished plasterboard system to walls and ceilings, with a mix of carpeted and tiled floor finishes.
Although time and budget constraints often have an affect on commercial apartment projects, the developer, in this instance, did not compromise in the selection of materials with durability and longevity foremost in the selection process.
