hsc | Roofs and EnvElopE

The project consists of 29 Dowel Laminated Timber roofs with glazing and metal panel envelope. Each roof comprised of outrigger steel beams, water and thermal proofing layers, drainage penetration, mechanical penetration, mechanical well, roof ladder, and more.

My responsibility is to study the roofs and envelope, identify, and coordinate with internal and external consultants to solve unique detail conditions while preserving the design intent.

One of the many challenges we face on the project is maintaining water and thermal proofing with the height of the outrigger beams required by the roof type and size. The trick is to meet the design intent of specified roof fascia height and clerestory curb clearance. Any new variable in roof structure requires rigorous study and problem-solving on the roof to ensure that the roof functions properly while meeting code requirement and design intent.

On such a large-scale and complex project like this one, it is essential to build a Visual Mockup (VMU). Portions of roofs 27 and 28 were designated to be built on site. Visually, the design team and client can assess and confirm glazing and roof detail, finishes, MEP routing, and many other unresolved vMu enclosure scope

These section details are some examples of the unique conditions we have on the project. Each detail is the result of an enormous amount of effort, design study, and coordination between the design team, MEP, Structure, Timber, and Envelope Consultants. The details establish typical and a-typical standard condition for the entire project.
