almond grove
The development consists of fifty eight 3-bedroom maisonettes in an estate setting. The buildings are designed and done with masonry load bearing walls and are with complete services.
The project included residential apartments, parking, underground water tank, water tower, sewer and water reticulation and storm water drainage.
The structural system adopted for the apartments was load bearing concrete block walls. Concrete block walls were adopted since the region underlying rock is of coral origin and natural stones extracted from them produced low compressive strength.
