The Terraces | Los Altos, CA
This project consisted of demolishing 12 buildings and replacing them with five larger buildings which include independent living and assisted living units as well as skilled nursing and memory care. The senior community spans over 260,000 sq. ft. and has space for 181 residents. FWC provided structural engineering services for all five multi-level buildings. The independent and assisted living units consist of timber framing over a concrete podium structure, which has underground parking, a concrete framed dining hall, and landscape features. The skilled nursing section was designed with structural cold-formed steel framing and was the first multi-level building using this material for the vertical system to be successfully reviewed and approved through OSHPD.
