Glenn Katz-your overall strategy and the features of the structural system
Try to leave as much space as possible without sudden interruptions. Columns are placed at the intersection of the grid, and the beams are directed in the same direction as much as possible.
Under the corridor space and green roof on the second floor, we need to add beams for support.
- the material and framing system selected
I used the following material sizes that I think are adequate. And I selected a wall on the south side as a load-bearing wall to increase the load-bearing capacity.
beam and beam system: W12x26
Column: W10x49
Base Foundation: Rectangular 72” x 48” x 18”
- the locations of structural columns and major framing elements
at the intersection of the grid
- any special structural challenges
Cut out the location that needs to be left blank. From a visual perspective, I need to make the existence of beams and columns invisible to people as much as possible, while also protecting the spatial pattern.
