The Eclipse | Bantry Bay 🌊
MVW Engineers is proud to be working with our client, , to help bring its vision for The Eclipse to life.
Set into the steep slopes of Bantry Bay, The Eclipse comprises four individually designed ultra-luxury villas, each taking full advantage of uninterrupted Atlantic Ocean views.
Behind the architecture is a highly complex engineering solution. With the villas extending up to five levels, excavations reached approximately 19 m deep, requiring anchored shotcrete lateral-support walls.
Now that the lateral-support works are complete, construction is progressing into the foundation phase of two villas, with micropile installation now underway.
The project also incorporates reinforced-concrete shear walls, vertical rock anchors and micropiles, along with challenging cantilevered swimming pools, floor slabs, complex architectural forms and demanding load paths.
It’s a great example of how structural engineering can respond to challenging terrain without compromising architectural ambition.
We appreciate the opportunity and confidence placed in MVW Engineers by and look forward to seeing The Eclipse take shape.
Challenging terrain. Ambitious architecture. Engineering that makes it possible.
