Hangar Project
This project is located in the Santa Monica airport. It consisted of a new commercial building inside an existing hangar.
It was designed with minimum foundation work for the ease of a future demolition. The height cleareance was very
sensitive at the large cantilevered floor level due to specific airplane heights and at the roof level due to existing roof girders.
It consisted of a 2-story Moment Frame at the front and shearwalls throughout.

1217-1222 2nd street
Three buildings on Second street in Santa Monica are side by side. These
buildings are four stories steel office / retail with one level subterranean.
When these buildings were being designed in 1999 the rigid frame connection
issues were still not worked out from the Northridge Earthquake. The city
required special moment frames - we chose Reduced Beam Section (RBS) connections.
