Mirage, Portishead, Bristol

The Mirage project comprises a nine-storey development at the head of Portishead Marina, comprising 55 high specification apartments, two commercial units and associated parking.

The building consists of an in-situ reinforced concrete flat slab frame, founded on pre-cast driven piles with reinforced concrete pile caps and ground beams.

Energy efficiency and an attractive appearance were successfully combined.  The external envelope is formed by Metsec framing infill panels with an insulated ‘through colour’ render system. Internal division walls are drylined with MF ceilings and screeded floors on 25mm insulation.
