A structural steel braced frame structure was chosen for this two-story office building for economic reasons as well as to provide a very stiff structural frame. A sloping “butterfly” roof structure with long double-cantilevered ends was a particularly challenging structural element. An elevated pedestrian bridge and exterior exit stair supported by large architectural concrete piers connects the two building wings. This structure provides an elegant means for security fencing of the central courtyard and entry lobby.
