The participation in the construction
of this remarkable residential building inspired our team
to complement tanking and waterproofing systems with discerning
architectural features as conceived by Allan Powell Architects
Pty Ltd. This spacious and
refined domestic building with classic architectural features
interpreted in contemporary finesse required close collaboration
of all participants and especially with the Builders, Delft
Constructions Pty. Ltd.
This collaborative approach saw a large basement comprising
of garage, recreational and service areas comprehensively made
watertight by applying our preferred tanking medium, Cosmofin
1.5 FG. This tanking medium consists of a weldable PVC
sheet membrane, cast-in water stops and various purpose-made
flashings that are able to be fused to the sheet membrane to
form homogenous sealed joints.
A series of podiums, which serve as loggias, courtyards or
services areas and numerous First Floor balconies and terraces
were waterproofed using our proprietary liquid-applied rubber-based
waterproofing system. Well thought out waterproofing
membrane detailing concepts facilitated the installation of
a variety of finishes such as “floating” terrazzo floors, grassed
areas adjoining minimalist wall finishes over conventional
brick walls.
