Engineered Architectural Design _
Red Steel Volumetric Stacked Asemblies;
Cold Steel Framed Enclosures | Midrise;
Engineered Wood Framed Enclosures | Lowrise;
• Volumetric involves enclosures which can operate as structural systems, extending up to 40 stories using steel framing inside the volumetric units, and up to 5 stories with wood framing inside the volumetric units.
Both are capable of delivering solutions at scale for multifamily, commercial and hospitality.
The design of Volumetric emanates takes as its basis longer and deeper enclosures having fenestration at the end transverse to the axis of the volume. As a result it has maximal stiffness for the enclosed volume and can go high as mid rise assembly, assuming tolerances can be controlled. QAQC both in the factory and in the field is a central consideration in this delivery model.
