“Structural Concrete” journal short project note spotlight: The Martin
The Martin is a 16-storey, 50 m tall residential tower with 103 apartments above a two-storey car park. Its defining architectural feature is four interlocking cubic volumes that create cantilevers of up to 6 m — with the building cantilevering in two directions from the 8th floor upward, on top of a car park structure below. This short project note focuses on the structure’s relevant aspects, namely the design of the cantilevering deep wall-beams that carry the interlocking volumes, the stability system provided by the central “ #”-shaped core, the strut-and-tie mechanism used to resolve forces at the highest cantilever, the transfer of loads down to the parking basement, and the additional loading considerations introduced by the rooftop gardens.
