The structural form is that of an in-situ reinforced concrete flat slab structure supported by columns and RC walls from ground floor to roof.  The building is founded on reinforced concrete ground beams and pile caps spanning between reinforced concrete continuous flight auger piles to specialist design. There is no basement, but attenuation tanks and rainwater harvesting tanks will be constructed below ground floor level.  The facade is a mix of SFS faced with a brick outer leaf and full height glazing/spandrel panel elements.  An external thermally broken balcony will be constructed in the North East corner from 1^st to 6^th floor.
