Dynamic Steel Frame - Parc Vue Apartments
Parc Vue Apartments reframe the look of balustrading
Prefabricated with engineered precision, this project showcases the design versatility of LGS framing made from TRUECORE® steel.
The graduation of LGS frames was modelled in precise detail to achieve the visual aspiration of the curved balustrading wrapping around the building.
Key Benefits Delivered
Peter Blythe, Director of Dynamic Steel Frame, the steel frame fabricator involved in the manufacture of the balustrades and structural frames for the upper level, highlighted the following benefits of utilising light gauge steel (LGS) framing made from TRUECORE® steel in this project.
Design Versatility & Precision
Prefabricated with engineering precision, graduating curves and shapes have been skilfully crafted using LGS framing made from TRUECORE® steel.
3D Design and Engineering Software
3D software was used to confirm the exact graduation of the balustrade frames required to wrap around the building to achieve the architect’s vision and the symmetry of the curved balconies at each level of the building.
Efficient Construction
Lightweight yet strong, and easy to install, the use of LGS prefabricated frames reduced the safety and waste concerns created by on-site construction.
Project details
Parc Vue is an exclusive collection of prestige apartments, located amongst the naturally spectacular Bundoora Park. Undulating curved balustrades, clad in timber tones have been deployed to soften the building’s appearance and meld it into the surrounding landscape.
The silent hero of this balustrading design is the LGS framing used underneath. Prefabricated with engineered precision, this project showcases the design versatility of LGS framing made from TRUECORE® steel. To realise the design of the balustrades, innovative 3D design and engineering software was skilfully deployed by steel fabricator, Dynamic Steel Frame.
