The Ironquill Lofts

A 5-over-2 podium construction project in a dense urban infill site. Structural engineering navigated complex foundation underpinning adjacent to historic structures. MEP systems utilized highly efficient centralized VRF systems to maximize ceiling heights in the residential units.

My founder perspective

I base this perspective on the published portfolio record. I find the useful lesson in this record’s interfaces: a 5-over-2 podium, dense urban infill, underpinning beside historic structures, and centralized VRF systems each shape the engineering conversation. I would keep the structural and MEP decisions coordinated with the residential goal of maximizing ceiling heights.
