As the crown jewel of the South Bank development, Arc Sky Villas in the Turks and Caicos Islands redefines coastal luxury through its pioneering vertical villa concept. Designed by the internationally renowned Italian AD100 firm Lissoni & Partners, the project features 17 elevated residences that seamlessly blend minimalist architecture with indoor-outdoor living—offering uninterrupted 360-degree views of the ocean, lagoon, and wetlands.
Given the project's unique coastal setting and complex structural demands, selecting a construction solution that combined efficiency, precision, and resilience was essential. TECON provided a tailored formwork package including HETO Frame Wall Formwork, Flex 20 Slab Formwork, and steel formwork for round columns—each engineered to meet the high standards of premium villa construction.
Project Type: Luxury Villas
Location: Turks and Caicos Islands
Formwork Systems:
TECON HETO Frame Wall Formwork
Flex 20 Slab Formwork
Steel Formwork for Round Columns
Total formwork area: 3900 m2
Efficient Assembly
TECON’s modular formwork systems feature simplified connection methods, including adjustable panel couplers, pre-measured components, and manual assembly. This allows for rapid installation and dismantling, streamlining the construction schedule.
Versatile Adaptability
From irregular-shaped walls to complex slab layouts and dense drop beams, the TECON systems provide excellent adaptability. Their flexible design minimizes the need for customization, making them suitable for a wide variety of structural configurations.
Durability & Sustainability
Built with galvanized or powder-coated steel frames, the systems are designed for long-term reuse and durability. Notably, the Flex 20 Slab Formwork incorporates aluminum beams instead of traditional timber, extending the system’s service life and reducing ongoing maintenance costs.
Safety & Stability
With high-strength materials and secure connection systems, TECON formwork ensures on-site stability and safety, even under elevated or challenging construction conditions.
In addition to delivering high-performance systems, TECON’s technical team provided hands-on guidance at the project site. Our engineers remained on-site for two weeks to assist with formwork implementation, offering real-time solutions to construction challenges and ensuring successful execution.
With TECON’s advanced formwork systems, the Arc Sky Villas project achieved faster build cycles, reduced labor demands, improved site safety, and long-term cost efficiency. The systems’ reusability and low maintenance requirements contributed to a more sustainable construction approach—perfectly aligning with the vision of modern, high-performance luxury living.
