Overall Strategy

For my strategy, I decided to do a full beam system following the floor plans of each floor. It took a while to find a grid system that worked for all of the floors since they are all off center of each other, but I ended up coming up with a framework that fits with each floor. There are supporting slabs for the six columns on the first floor that go directly into the ground, and a floor slab of concrete below the first floor as well.

Material and Framing System

For the materials, I chose to use steel beams and columns with concrete foundation slabs. I chose steel over wood because of the durability and the ability to breach long spans which is very important with this unique layout from the complexity of the grid system.
