Brewery / Non-Combustible Steel

· May 24, 2021 ·

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.

Fire Rebuild

Ultra Modern Prefab Home by Architect Hector Magnus

This amazing design expresses the strength and beauty of the all metal and modern fire resistant prefabricated home. EcoSteel Bolted Frame and Custom Roof/Wall & Trim components provide a fire resistant and energy efficient building envelope.

Faced with rebuilding after a firestorm that devastated the community, the owner — a well-respected artist — desired that his house deviate from the prominent local design language in order to bring an optimistic, contemporary voice to the scene. He also wanted the house to be an environment where he could create and display his artwork, while being inspired by the surrounding natural setting. To achieve this effect, large, expansive walls were utilized to display paintings, huge glass doors open to endless views, and a subtle color palette of materials was employed to allow art and nature to take the spotlight.

Set on a 1/4-acre sloping lot, the supporting superstructure came to the site as pre-engineered, prefabricated, recycled steel framing and was designed to be protected within the interior volume. The metal skeleton allows for expansive openings that are filled with metal-framed glass. The remaining exterior is wrapped with a fire-resistant skin of color-enhanced insulated metal panels. Overall, the concept of resilience is the focus.

Forced by circumstance, this artist residence integrated a commercial prefabricated engineered system into a modern steel home that provides a definitive edge for contemporary design in Santa Barbara and California’s central coast.

Fire resistant engineering isn’t only for residential purposes. Take a look at a custom commercial brewery created by EcoSteel for another example of a fire-safe modern metal building.

Custom Steel Home

· May 19, 2021 ·

This new Bay Area custom all steel home has many exciting features, including walls of glass with commanding views. With a roof deck, sliding sun shades and a living area of just over 3,000SF, this stunning EcoSteel custom steel building in California (designed by Paolo Volpis) is now under construction. The owner specified a custom dark grey/ metallic finish for the exterior wall panels. The doors and windows will be Fleetwood Glass, along with the roof top hand rails.

Sitting near a fault line, the custom steel home is engineered for extreme seismic forces. The design incorporates superior energy efficient roof and wall panels that will exceed Title 24 Code requirements.

Coffee Roaster

Modern Prefab Retail – Houston, TX

Cafe ZunZun in Houston, TX is the first of its kind. A complete design collaboration with our coffee roasting clients to bring one of the most sustainable buildings and company practices H-Town has ever seen.

Rooted in sustainable agriculture practices, climate stability, human rights, and enriching livelihoods, Cafe ZunZun is not just selling cups of coffee, they are here to make a difference.

The goal of this project was to create a structure that would not only house the roasting and brewing operation of this business but create energy efficiency. For these reasons, they turned to EcoSteel and our prefabricated metal building systems to help get the job done.

This fire-rated insulated steel building system encompasses commercial grade architectural components to ensure decades of durable use. Insulated steel roof and wall panels provide superior insulation values to keep interiors cool while roasting coffee in extreme heat during the Summer months-vital to decreasing the energy consumption and creating a greener and more sustainable society.

Sustainability has been a trending topic for the past few years but has been a hallmark of the steel construction industry for decades. Steel is the only material used in construction today that can be 100% recycled and reused, you can’t say that about anything else!

Steel promotes sustainable construction in other ways you might not think of. Due to the tight tolerances achieved in prefabrication, steel buildings offer the following benefits:

Less waste onsite
Safer construction
Less community disruption
Smaller Jobsite footprint
Less pollution from heavy machinery

Additionally, EcoSteel’s prefab metal buildings are ideal for solar and wind power. An option available to all our residential, commercial or industrial clients allowing for a NetZero building (NZB) operation. This type of building application greatly helps to reduce overall costs and resource conservation by producing its own energy resources.

Are you ready to get started? Not only will you be saving time and money but we can offer space optimization opportunity that best fits your business needs and offer net-zero energy capabilities, a building solution that will be sure to maximize your property returns by day one!
