Its design reflects a contemporary, elegant, and stylish aesthetic that highlights Oracle on Highgate’s architectural presence, a quality that is equally reflected in its chic interior design and colour palette. It takes full advantage of its well elevated site which provides sweeping views of the city and harbour right out to the sea open beyond as well as to the hills around the city. The core construction elements comprise concrete foundations and a steel structure that supports suspended concrete floor slabs. By early October the shell of the building had been completed and the interior and exterior framing was in progress with the roof expected to be completed this November. Completion is set for mid-2024. Project manager Sean Laing, who has been with ABL since 2007, says due to the elevated site the ground conditions for construction were good with piling limited to a front corner of the structure. The rear boundary wall of the building is just 200mm from the neighbouring supermarket, with this wall comprising 10, nearly 10 tonne precast concrete panels. “We had to build the building in two towers to allow access to lift the heavy precast panels, which made up the balance of the boundary wall, over the steel structure and then use this structure to temporarily brace the panels while the suspended concrete floors were being poured.” Following the panel installation, the front half of the building could be erected. As of early October, there were 30 tradesmen working on site of which 21 were ABL staff. Outside of the main structure, construction is of traditional timber and drywall board for interior walls, and Sto plaster system for the exterior. Extensive windows and balconies make up the exterior features. “It’s relatively traditional construction, but there are the typical complexities with fire ratings and inter-tenancy building specifications such as fire rated walls and acoustic walls. The build is progressing well; we are sitting close to where we should be in the construction timeline. ”We have completed larger projects, but this is one of the largest ones we’ve done for the last few years.”
