The brief
Four-storey residential block
JMS Engineers provided structural design for a four-storey residential apartment block in Camden. The structure features loadbearing masonry walls supporting reinforced concrete floor slabs, designed to deliver robustness, fire resistance, and acoustic performance suited to a high-density residential scheme.
Engineering response
Foundations and regular load paths
Foundations were designed to accommodate variable ground conditions and nearby structures, with consideration given to settlement control and party wall constraints. The structural layout was developed to provide regular load paths, avoiding the need for intrusive transfer structures.
Delivery detail
Architectural coordination
JMS coordinated closely with the architect to ensure floor spans, wall positions and service zones aligned, allowing for efficient construction and long-term durability.
