Summit Eco-Park Residential Apartments

A four-tower sustainable residential development demonstrating how density and natural landscaping can coexist in expanding urban zones.

01 // PROJECT OVERVIEW

Architectural Brief & Programmatic Vision

Summit Eco-Park represents the next generation of multi-family urban dwelling in Addis Ababa. SEMAYI's building design consultants integrated renewable solar energy, central graywater recycling, and earthquake-resistant structural frames.

02 // CONSULTANCY SCOPE

SEMAYI Engineering & Advisory Responsibilities

Multidisciplinary architectural and structural engineering coordination

Subsurface stormwater retention basin calculations

Tender preparation and contractor pre-qualification assessments

Ongoing resident engineer site supervision

03 // TECHNICAL APPROACH

Structural Methodology & Code Compliance

Carefully placed building volumes maintain sunlight access to internal courtyards throughout the year. Structural cantilevers provide passive shade to lower apartment glazing, significantly curtailing solar heat gain.

Structural System Reinforced Concrete Frame with Lightweight Blockwork Infill

Foundation Substructure Raft Foundation with Sub-drainage Waterproofing

Building Envelope Ventilated Ceramic Tile Facade with Cavity Insulation

Sustainability Profile Rooftop Solar PV Array supplying 60% of common area power

04 // VISUAL DOCUMENTATION
