Collapse at Siem Reap Development Building Site

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Siem Reap Construction Collapses
Image
Cambodia News, (Siem Reap): A building under construction in Vihear Chen village, Svay Dangkum commune, Siem Reap city, reportedly collapsed on Sunday, injuring several workers. It is reported that the building collapsed on the afternoon of August 8, 2021, injuring some workers, but nobody was killed.
However, according to local press, the authorities refused to provide any further information on this accident.

Local residents have said that the building was built by a company called Rose Apple Square, and they heard that the cause of the collapse was due to technical problems.

This is a big development.

More information from the Rose Apple Square website:

Located right in the center of Siem Reap city, and a mere 10 mins walk to the energetic Pub street area, Rose Apple Square is nestled on Rose Apple Road (where the project gets its name). Taking the concept and space of urban squares into uncharted territory, Rose Apple Square redefines what it means to keep traditions alive, while still moving forward into the future. Iconic Angkor Wat, world-class restaurants and bars, amazing arts & crafts shops, Siem Reap International Airport, as well as the upcoming Siem Reap East district are all within quick reach.

Rose Apple Square consists of four mid-rise blocks centered around an open green courtyard. This greenspace is the spine of the development, connecting all segments of this community square while allowing each of the four key areas of the complex to seamlessly co-exist, thrive, collaborate.

On the North East side, are Rose Apple Offices with their vibrant business community and Commune’s multi-cultural mix of co-living residents. Just across the courtyard, on the South East block, is Forum: Future Forum’s upcoming new policy hub and co-working space. From the North to the South facing floors, residents living in one of the Rose Apple Residences’ 235 homes enjoy their view. There, the wind cross-ventilates lightly, with the sun peeking through gaps between buildings and trees.

4th | 5th | 6th Floor
The Rose Apple Square complex is supported by two floors of underground parking and close to 1,300 SQM of green and public spaces. At its very heart is a green multi-level courtyard: a mini ecosystem that connects residents and visitors. The spine connects to a playground, a gym, and a dance & fitness studio, then segues into the pool and yoga deck areas. The staircase takes visitors up to the ground floor plaza, where selected retail and F&B spots overlook the courtyard.

It's a pity, the script was already written ^^ for its feature in Grand Designs.
Pure poetry.

There, the wind cross-ventilates lightly, with the sun peeking through gaps between buildings and trees.

Plebs like us would have just said; a wind tunnel with virtually no sun.
Where's the romance in that?
