Good morning gentlemen. This is a scale model of the block, 28 stories high, with 280 apartments. It has three main lifts and two service lifts. Access would be from Dibbingley Road. The structure is built on a central pillar system with…

…with cantilevered floors in pre-stressed steel and concrete. The dividing walls on each floor section are fixed by recessed magnalium-flanged grooves. By avoiding wood and timber derivatives and all other inflammables we have almost totally removed the risk of…

Frankly, I think the central pillar may need strengthening.
