MOUNTAIN REAL ESTATE
Inspired by the resilience of mountains, this G+21 residential tower merges cutting-edge engineering with community-centric design. The structure employs post-tensioned concrete slabs and recyclable aluminum formwork to achieve column-free spans, 25% faster construction cycles (4-day per floor), and 20% concrete reduction. A tiered "sky village" on the 4th floor integrates premium amenities—gym, spa, library, daycare, and landscaped terraces—while podium levels optimize parking (149 bays) and ground-floor retail (pharmacy, supermarket). Sustainable features include water-waste management systems, energy-efficient lighting, and fire-safe imported finishes that elevate aesthetic longevity. The project sets new benchmarks for urban living: 119 luxury units (1–3 bedrooms) offer panoramic city views, with layouts prioritizing natural light and cross-ventilation. Key Architectural Achievements Technical Innovation: Aluminum formwork enabling ultra-smooth finishes (no plastering) + post-tensioning for slender, vibration-resistant slabs. Community Integration: 4th-floor "sky village" fostering social cohesion; 26.4% open-space ratio for recreation. Sustainable Efficiency: 24/7 water systems, localized CCTV/fire safety, and energy-saving building height optimization. Social Impact: Off-site affordable housing initiative + job creation for 70–90% local labor during construction. Market Leadership: $1,383/sqm premium positioning with imported finishes, outpacing competitors in amenities and tech integration.
