// Overview
The project involved designing a long-span steel portal frame to accommodate a paddle court, alongside a mezzanine level for café use. The structural design required coordination with architectural layouts and careful integration of multiple functional requirements.
// The challenge
The structure required large clear spans for the sports facility while supporting additional loads from the mezzanine. Managing load transfer and ensuring structural efficiency within a constrained footprint was critical.
// The outcome
A well-coordinated and efficient structural solution was achieved, enabling dual-use functionality while maintaining structural performance and constructability.
