EDEN ROC A

Eden Roc A is the flagship block of a gated luxury residential complex in the Potamos Germasogeia area of Limassol, approximately 500 metres from the seafront. Rising to eight storeys on the larger northern plot of the wider Eden Roc development, the building is the largest of four residential blocks set around a central landscaped garden. Construction of Block A began in May 2019 and was completed in January 2022. The development was recognised at the European Property Awards 2024–2025 and named BIM Project of the Year at the 2021 Graphisoft Awards.

The architectural concept — a terraced “superyacht” profile where each floor steps back from the one below — drives the structural design. Each setback generates substantial cantilevered slab edges and, at key levels, transfer slabs that redistribute vertical loads from upper columns onto new lines of support below. Balcony-integrated swimming pools on every floor add concentrated water and dead loads, working depth constraints for waterproofing and long-term deflection control into the slab design.

The superstructure uses post-tensioned flat slabs throughout, giving the long clear spans needed for column-free apartment layouts and keeping slab depths efficient across the cascading plan. Lateral and seismic loads are resisted by a shear-wall dominated system, with walls and cores positioned to suit both the architectural geometry and the demands of the Cyprus seismic region.

The foundation is a combined piled raft, with settlement piles working with the raft to control differential movement across the long, irregular footprint — over 300 linear metres of continuous building line across the full masterplan. The full structural design was delivered in a BIM environment, contributing to the project’s BIM award recognition.

ASD provided the complete structural and foundation design for Block A, working with UHA (Urban Habitat Architects) for bbf:.
