> Three seven storey apartment blocks in Santry on precast crosswalls, with hollowcore floors and in situ basements under them.

- Sector: [Residential](https://www.petruf.ie/projects/residential.md)
- Location: Santry, Dublin
- Completed: 2019
- Client: Dwyer Nolan Developments
- Customer: Private

Three blocks, seven storeys each, and a five storey link tying two of them together.

Every block is a precast crosswall structure on hollowcore floors with precast stairs, over an in situ concrete basement. Block C was built first and the others followed the same approach, which is the argument for crosswall on a scheme of repeated blocks: the detail is resolved once.

In situ walls and columns strengthen the frame where the layout breaks the pattern, and the link between blocks A and B mixes precast and in situ for stability. Hollowcore with a structural screed carries the horizontal load into the shear walls.
