Technical Case Studies

A few different issues have risen during our projects. The foundation of our methodology has been to work directly with our clients to identify the specific problems at hand, recommending a technical solution, and implementing the positive change. We take pride in our conjoined success and examples of how we tackled challenges showcases our improvements and overall accomplished results.

Connecticut Science Center - Glycol Protection System

The curved steel roof design at the Science Center caused many technical problems including the difficulty in accessing the ceiling area by a portable high lift. Vented ceilings created concerns about cold air infiltration and the potential for sprinkler piping to freeze. Utilizing glycol was a creative solution our team devised for mitigating the problem.

Connecticut Science Center - Fire Safing

The Science Center is made of two metal-framed buildings enclosed by insulated metal wall panels. These two forms are held apart by an atrium with tall glass walls on each open end. This mixture of structural framing and enclosure created a myriad of unique fire safing conditions that only manifested themselves during construction. One problem in particular points to a tube beam that provided bracing within the structure, yet needed a particular intumescent coating. Working in tandem with a specialist helped our team collectively find a protective solution.

Yale National University of Singapore - Gateways

The gateways we designed for Yale-NUS College rejected typical gate assemblies from a design perspective. Instead of utilizing heavy tube steel or wrought iron (which isn't a local material option), we changed the materials to accommodate local craftsmanship to create a light, ornate design which ties back to Yale's campus aesthetic in New Haven CT.

Yale National University of Singapore - Performance Theatre

The technics of this Performance Theatre explore designing seating arrangements to thoughtfully meet accessibility codes; seratted walls to attenuate sound, and suspending hard and soft materials for acoustical complements on the theatre's ceiling.

Yale National University of Singapore - Low Rise Wall Construction

Elevation studies of Yale-NUS wall construction provide a snapshot into our process of viewing a project from multiple perspectives and scales. These studies collectively established an appropriate sense of place that is tantamount to defining a collegiate environment.

Yale National University of Singapore - Construction Detailing

The Construction Detailing of Yale-NUS College presented a design opportunity that centers on weaving local materials into a palette of details that expresses the ideals of an ivy league school. Each detail is modern in its intent and rich in its surface expression. Compartmentalizing spaces prevented issues with curtain wall connections and avoided fire safety.

Yale National University of Singapore - Tower Façade Assemblies

Tower Assemblies Study for our project at Yale-NUS College focused on examining how metal trim-work, windows, and color can be applied to flat panel precast wall construction. The purpose is to imbue a texture and scale to the facade that belies the simplicity of each building's enclosure.

Connecticut Science Center - Code Analysis

This summary of the Science Center parameters showcases our development of construction type requirements and all applicable codes.

Yale National University of Singapore - Tower Tops

Keeping the same design aesthetic from Yale, New Haven, our team incorporated tower studies during the design process for Yale-NUS College to create a modernized version of a classic ivy league school.
