This mixed-use infill project was built in the heart of this Central Oregon town. The five story 82,900 square foot building features a basement garage. Retail shops at street level invite pedestrian traffic, with living units situated above. It also includes a small private courtyard. VLMK structural engineers designed the building with post tensioned concrete slabs on the main and second floors, and four stories of wood framing above.
This three story mixed-use project has living space on the upper two levels and work or office space on the lower level. Floors are framed with TJI joists and the roof is constructed with pre-fabricated wood trusses. A steel moment frame is used for resisting seismic and wind related lateral forces. Close coordination with the architect was required to facilitate the numerous windows and balconies. Each townhouse features a gated courtyard with separate entrances for the ground floor office space and the upstairs residence.
The Russellville commons project was designed and constructed in three phases. VLMK provided Structural and Civil engineering services for the project. The development includes residential units, supporting commercial uses and parking garages. Construction consists of a combination of cast-in-place and post-tension concrete, conventional wood framing and masonry.
This Housing of Urban Development (HUD) project consisted of a new two story, 65,000 square foot residential assisted living facility. The building utilizes wood-frame construction. The floor plan incorporates three building wings, central core common area, and drive through porte-cochere. Due to the close proximity to the Oregon oceanfront, the structural design was done using 90 mile per hour, exposure D wind forces.
This multi-family apartment complex consists of a series of three story wood framed buildings. The buildings provide a total of 74 apartment and townhouse living units. Several of the buildings have daylight basements that provide individual parking garages.
VLMK Consulting Engineers provided structural engineering services for this Village at Lovejoy Fountain downtown residential project.
The project incorporates approximately 200 residential living units that sit atop two levels of parking space, including an interior courtyard with additional parking below. Construction included concrete post-tensioned slabs at the garage and courtyard levels with cast-in-place concrete shear walls and columns. The upper level apartment spaces were built with five stories of light wood framing. This project was one of the first of its kind in the City and was built under a special ordinance that allows five-story wood framing as part of the Citys effort to increase urban housing density.
