I was responsible for drafting this project.
From the designer’s single-sheet plan and elevation, as well as a physical model (shown), I created a 3D model in AutoCAD, followed by construction drawings. We collaborated with a structural engineer to confirm the integrity of the project, which is anchored to a concrete pad adjacent to the Mississippi River, and designed to withstand floodwaters.
Steel frame, with Trex, foam cladding, and concrete coating.
