FRY RESIDENCE
Architect: Troxell & Associates
Kootenai County, Idaho
The structure is a 3,500 square foot home built on a steep site with uncooperative soils. Our office worked closely with the soil’s engineer to design a pier and grade beam foundation. Such a foundation will protect the structure in the event the upper soil strata should slide out from under the house.
MOUNTAIN RETREAT
Architect: Ward Young Architects
Sierra County, California
This home is a 9000 square foot handcrafted log structure built in the middle of nowhere. The facility is self-supporting with its own electric generator and solar collectors.
The structure is very complex, sporting an interior log space frame/truss with a pyramidal skylight at the top (see picture below). Additionally, there are a number of other log trusses and hip beams all with bolted knife blade connections.
This structure was first built by the log vendor in Victor, Montana (see picture bottom right), then disassembled and re-erected at the project site in Sierra County, California.
Our personnel visited the log yard in Montana to solve several design problems and insure the as-built structure conformed to the plans and engineering.
