Design flexibility and buildability enhanced by lightweight steel framing
303 Nepean Hwy
This prime coastal project combined CKA‘s architectural intent with practical construction outcomes.
clean. varied. efficient.
Maximising Form and Function
This building’s design incorporates clean lines, varied geometries, and efficient spatial planning suited to its coastal urban context.
CMG Frames provided a tailored lightweight steel framing solution that played a critical role in supporting both the design vision and overall buildability. The system enabled greater flexibility in resolving complex structural elements, while maintaining consistency and precision across the build.
Streamlined installation, longer spans, architectural value
Lightweight steel framing allowed for streamlined installation, reduced on-site constraints, and improved coordination between trades—key factors in maintaining program efficiency. Its strength-to-weight ratio also supported longer spans and adaptable layouts, enhancing the project’s architectural possibilities without adding unnecessary structural complexity.
The result is a well-executed development where construction efficiency and design ambition are aligned, demonstrating how lightweight steel framing can deliver both practical and architectural value in demanding urban environments.
