Residential
Vistek provides structural engineering and primary civil design services to the residential and multi-residential construction sectors. We bring thoughtful detailing and design to help support project outcomes and achieve architectural intent.
Bardolph Gardens
Bardolph Gardens is a compact and climate-conscious housing project that redefines suburban living. Designed by Breathe Architecture, the development features two single-storey dwellings - maximising natural light, passive thermal performance, and social connection.
Vistek provided structural engineering services for this finely detailed development. Our approach balanced constructability with architectural precision, enabling exposed materials and slender lines to be realised without compromise. Careful coordination supported the integration of details such as the hit-miss brickwork which serves as both an architectural feature and a clever element to enhance cross-breezes.
It exemplifies high sustainability through design, with both dwellings achieving a minimum of 8 stars - delivered with warmth and restraint.

High Street CLT Apartments
Gardiner Architects’ first high‑rise multi‑residential project comprises 13 uniquely designed apartments over a ground-level carpark and café on High Street. Built using prefabricated cross‑laminated timber (CLT), the project achieves an average 8.4-star energy rating, combining sustainability with structural efficiency.
The design celebrates individuality: each apartment features its own layout, entry, and orientation, avoiding repetitive corridor-style façades. A central, open stairwell with a south-facing glass-brick façade and a rooftop garden promote interaction and community living.
They layout presented several technical challenges and required a CLT band beam system that was the first of its kind in Australia. High Street Apartments demonstrates CLT’s potential for flexible, high-performance, and liveable housing—pushing sustainable timber construction into the realm of mid-rise urban living.

Union House
Union House is a robust and inventive family home that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible on a narrow urban site. Designed by Austin Maynard Architects, the project responds to the geometry of an inner urban site with a striking folded façade and layered materiality.
Vistek supported the structural design of this highly detailed residence, where cross laminated timber (CLT) elements work in unison to create spatial openness and thermal efficiency. Engineering precision was key to delivering the large-span living spaces, floating staircases, and concealed load paths that supports the home’s architectural expression.
Beneath its playful exterior, Union House is a serious performer - crafted to human centric design principles. The integration of sustainable materials and systems required close coordination between architect and engineer.
The result is a contemporary, climate-resilient home that reimagines suburban living with ingenuity and care.
