Architectural Formwork & Off-Form Concrete
Precision engineering for curved concrete walls, cantilevered slabs, and floating staircases.
The Art of Off-Form Concrete
In luxury residential construction, concrete is no longer just a hidden foundation material—it is a primary architectural feature. Off-form concrete refers to concrete that is poured and left exposed, retaining the texture and pattern of the formwork used to shape it.
- Curved Concrete Walls: Achieving a flawless curve requires custom-milled formwork, highly fluid concrete mixes, and precision vibration to prevent 'honeycombing' (air pockets) on the exposed surface.
- Floating Staircases: These require complex structural steel spines hidden within the concrete. The engineering must account for immense torsion and shear forces.
- Cantilevered Slabs: Defying gravity requires post-tensioning cables and highly specified reinforcement layouts to allow concrete to extend dramatically without lower support.
