This San Francisco Modern Hillside Home will set the bar for Luxury Prefab Construction

At the top of the Famous Lombard area of San Francisco sets an All Steel 6 Story Residence with Two Hour Fire Rated Panels and car elevator. The owners can exit the vehicle inside garage to allow 2nd floor access without leaving the drivers seat. Bolted Frame Prefab System provides clearspan support for a 5 story luxury prefab home in downtown San Francisco. Earthquake resistant braced frames and heavy I-Beam Commercial Grade materials provide unmatched strength and support. Superior Energy Efficiency is achieved with insulated steel roof and wall panels. The Roof panels will be concealed with an entertainment deck surface and the walls are covered with 3/4 Inch European style limestone plaster for an Old World effect.

Walker Moody Architects of San Francisco designed this home with a spiral central staircase and roof skylight that is a centerpiece of the living space. The San Francisco steel home features site conditions including a Four Story Retaining Wall and One Inch tolerance on property lines with a Fire Rating condition. To add complexity to the design, the neighbors home exterior wall plane is encroaching into the project airspace by Four Inches due to settling of a brick wall.

Urban Infill projects can benefit with 3D Modeling for BIM (Building Information Management) to help control costs and design cost savings into the project. Bolted steel framed house with steel insulated roof and wall panels that are attached to a commercial grade frame provide unmatched strength and durability. Radius Steel Structure allows for dramatic floating staircase and glass rotunda.

This 1,700 square foot prefab modern steel home located on the hillside above Silver Lake Reservoir, Los Angeles, CA, will be constructed in an established neighborhood with very limited site access. A prefabricated kit of parts was essential to completing this project with only one side of the site accessible by construction equipment.

This client’s religious beliefs call for a design with no right angles, and EcoSteel’s parametric 3D Revit modeling and detailing are essential to converting this project from a design to reality.

The Silver Lake Project will also feature an all clearspan interior, 300 square feet of cantilevered decking, and large walls of glass to take advantage of the site’s breathtaking views. In spite of these large walls of glass, the project easily exceeds title 24 green code and is equipped with unmatched R32 pre-insulated steel roof panels, and R24 pre-insulated steel wall panels.

California Commercial Brewery Construction

The original Homespace+Workspace retail store burned down in 2009. This client came to EcoSteel seeking to build a custom commercial brewery with fire resistant materials, but also sought a visually pleasing retail space be achieved using EcoSteel’s commercial and industrial methods and materials.

The result is a 10,340 square foot steel fire-safe building complete with 2HR fire rated panels. To ensure this project remains on budget, interior structural elements were left exposed. The back interior faces of our pre-insulated steel panels were also left exposed to shave cost and provide a unique and interesting interior look. EcoSteel will overlay this project’s MEP plans with our BIM 3D modeling to ensure elegant integration.

This client also chose EcoSteel because of our Revit 3D modeling capabilities. It was important to easily make design changes early in the process in a virtual environment to ensure the client’s design desires were met.

EcoSteel specializes in Commercial Brewery Construction, Prefab Brewery Design, Steel Framed Brewing Buildings, Steel Brewery Buildings, Engineered Brewery Plans.

Prefab Steel Loft Apartments

· May 24, 2021 ·

The Forj Lofts is a steel apartment building with a Minimalistic/Scandinavian design. Residing on the Atlantic coast of Delaware, the prefab metal apartment building is engineered for extreme wind loads. The Forj name is a play on words for an Iron Forge, as there is nothing but steel used for the building components. Limited staging areas for material and crew mandated a carefully executed shipment and assembly program. This residential steel building is just one example of how steel can be used in multi-family construction.
