Summary Brought to life a multi-use layout designed by landscape designer. Our scope was to evaluate, reinforce, and fully enable a roof space for private recreation and entertainment use with an outdoor kitchen and dining area. |
Description The firm provided design and consulting services to enable a new, modern program.Our scope was to:
Keeping the roof opening the same, we designed a walkable skylight that is flush-mounted with a raised ipe deck. Our structural evaluation was accomplished with minimal invasiveness by creating microprobes and confirming the existing roof’s load-bearing capacity before getting started. The final roof area was terraced into a raised seating area, outdoor kitchen covered with a wind-sensing retractable awning, dining area, and pergola. |
