This project involves the structural design and detailing of a 27,000
sq. ft. estate in Rancho Santa Fe, California. The design for the
split-level, one-story, single-family residence, with subterranean
garage, includes a steel-beam-framed roof, cantilevered up to 70 feet in
several locations. The lateral load resisting system consists of steel
braced frames, cantilevered columns, and concrete shear walls. The
masonry garage and site walls are all covered with a cast-in-place
concrete veneer to provide an exposed cast-in-place concrete finish
throughout the building.
In addition to the residence there are a number of other structures,
including a man-made lake and an under-crossing below a portion of the
water feature/pool, a pool house, tennis courts, and a two-story
maintenance barn. Other site structures such as retaining walls, entry
gates, and jogging path bridges were also included in the scope of the
structural services. |
