Multifamily Residential

Palms At Waelae

Multifamily housing project. Designed the recreation facility and all exterior stairs to the units. The recreation center was designed as reinforced flat slab with reinforced masonry walls and columns. The roof is wood framed and the foundation is reinforced concrete spread footings.

Pukalani Town Homes

Design development of approximately 25 multifamily two-story wood framed town homes on the Island of Maui. The sloping site condition warranted the use of braced post and beam construction to frame the first floor. Portions of the structure are to be prefabricated on the mainland and shipped to Maui for final assembly on site. The addition of prefabrication to the design process presented unique considerations to the framing of this wood structure. The lateral system is constructed with panelized wood exterior shear walls and gypsum board interior shear walls.

Kahana Gateway

Development consisted of three structures, commercial, professional, and residential. All three buildings were constructed of wood with some use of reinforced concrete and CMU. I administrated the construction of the project and helped the contractor resolve field conditions.
