RESIDENTIAL ENGINEERING PROJECTS

Working with the architect, Summit Engineering helped provide a green building using structural insulated panels (SIPs) and wood provided from sustainable harvesting. The home features an actual tree as the center column for the main stair.

Located over water, this project was challenged with fast moving currents, construction phasing to accommodate a small site, and coordination with concurrent abutting construction projects.

The new 6,000-SF addition brought the total size up to 10,000 SF. Summit Engineering provided the structural design for the addition, which included a stone fireplace supported on the first floor framing, clear spanning a recreation room below. A large living room with cathedral ceilings and gable end windows were framed with bent steel framing.
		Agatha James Townhouses – Kennebunk, ME Working with Lassel Architects, Summit Engineering provided the structural design for four 10,000-SF, four-unit townhouses. The wood framed structures are three stories tall. The buildings were constructed with pre-fabricated wood roof trusses and wall panels, allowing for a rapid construction time.
		Legacy Park Apartments – Wakefield, MA This 114-unit apartment complex was constructed with two independent buildings. Each building provided underground parking. The first floors of each structure were framed with structural steel and concrete floors. The remaining four stories of each building were constructed with light wood framing.
		Great Bay Residence – Newmarket, NH This 8,000-SF single-family residence was originally designed by an internationally recognized architect for the Los Angeles environment. Udelsman Associates and Summit Engineering collaborated to provide a practical structure suited for the harsh New England waterfront environment. Designed to accommodate 110 MPH winds off of the Great Bay, the singe-story home was designed entirely out of conventional light wood framing.
