Obstacles
Hillside construction, expansive soils, curved surfaces, infinity edge
pool and jacuzzi out of grade.
Solutions
Caisson and grade beam system was used for the foundations. Due to the
presence of expansive soils, the lower level floors are structural slabs.
Structural steel members were used to create the curved decks and
canopies. A composite metal deck and concrete slab system was used for the
mid-level stepped deck. A caisson and grade beam system was used to
support the pool and jacuzzi which are out of grade.
