The Foundation Village

The Foundation Village consists of two five-level luxury retirement apartment buildings, predominantly clad in stone. TEC supported their client, ESM, by providing design assistance during construction to address design changes and construction issues, and collaborated with Generus Living, through Colliers, to offer construction monitoring support, ensuring that the design intent and construction quality were met. The project faced several design challenges, including accommodating primary structural movements such as lateral seismic drifts and vertical live loads over large openings, as well as securing structural fixings to various primary structural elements. High-level coordination with the architect, facade consultant, main building structural engineer, glazing designer, and main contractor was crucial to streamline project delivery.
