Engineering Scope
3S Prime Engineering provided structural engineering for this two-story custom residence, including the gravity and lateral systems, foundations, floor and roof framing, and structural support for the home's architectural openings.
Engineering Challenge
Large window openings and an open interior layout required careful coordination of the structural framing and lateral system while maintaining the architectural design.
Engineering Solution
The structural system was designed to accommodate the large openings and open interior spaces while providing efficient gravity support and the required seismic resistance. Structural elements were integrated within the architectural layout to minimize their visual impact.
