Axiom Apartments

Axiom is an 80 apartment and three commercial tenancy development on a 1600 square metre site in Footscray. The building has six apartment levels, ground-floor car parking and commercial tenancies, a single basement level, and 112 car spaces over two levels.

Miglic MacLeod worked closely with the developer and architect to design the project in an open and collaborative manner. Our goal was to achieve a cost effective and aesthetically pleasing design grounded in high utility and reliability. As a residential building, it needed to be functional yet warm and innovative to appeal to a younger target market. At every step, we provided our client with a prompt service and technically-sound solutions.

The structural system of the building consisted of:

• Post-tensioned in-situ concrete floors
• Reinforced concrete columns and walls
• Precast concrete stair cores and external walls
• Concrete retention system with temporary ground anchors
• A lightweight timber and steel roof structure.

Civil design components included seepage drainage, roof drainage and water storage for recycling.
