Design Approach:

Selection of materials and systems for a streamlined structure and efficient timeline.

Site conditions were well suited for drilled & cast in place concrete piles. Foundations and main floor were cast in place concrete that worked in conjunction with the in slab heating system and durability.

Superstructure was a combination of exposed Glulam roof beams, structural steel and steel joist for long spans and cast concrete on composite steel floor system for deflection & vibration control, fire rating and durability.
