Appointed as structural engineers on the Burlington House project, a uniquely twisting three-tiered building, Civic Engineers knew that working in traditional 2D was simply not possible. Therefore, they once again turned to BIM and Tekla Structural Designer.
Located within the heart of Manchester’s Piccadilly Basin, Burlington House is an 11-storey residential development, offering 91 luxury canal-side apartments. Designed by architects Simpson Haugh, the building offers a truly unique and eye-catching appearance, comprising three main blocks that twist on plan as the building increases with height. These rotations result in the upper two tiers cantilevering out over one another – architecturally striking in appearance, while structurally challenging in form.
