A-001The practice

Builders of consequence.

For three decades, developers, families and hoteliers have trusted Archon with the buildings that define them: delivered to the millimetre, on programme, and without compromise on safety.

Phase 01 · Months 0–4

Groundbreaking

Surveyors set out every gridline to ±2 mm before a single bar of steel is placed. Two levels of basement, 14,000 m³ of excavation, 2,100 tonnes of rebar.

Phase 02 · Months 5–14

Structure

Ironworkers raise a floor every six days, bolting connections 150 metres above the street while the crane sets steel to the centimetre.

Phase 03 · Months 12–20

Envelope

1,840 unitised curtain-wall panels of bronze-tinted glass and honed limestone, set by glaziers working in four-person crews.

Phase 04 · Months 18–25

Craft

Book-matched Calacatta, hand-fitted walnut and bronze. Master craftsmen finish the spaces people will actually touch.

Phase 05 · Month 26

Handover

Commissioned, certified LEED Platinum and handed over on the day we promised: 38 levels, lit for the first time.
