It utilizes a built-up CFS girt along the back face and CFS brace anchored to a nearby concrete core wall. The project includes a 10-foot-tall, 18-foot-wide, partially freestanding roof parapet wall. The smaller silo is located on the front canopy near the entrance and consists of two 7-foot-tall segments, each with four shear wall panels.įirst-Place Award -The Leffler Group-Pena Hyatt Place-Denver, Colorado The freestanding 50-foot-tall silo, built behind the store, consists of six stacks of three shear wall panels. was contracted to provide structural analysis and design for two exterior silos, trademarks of Stew Leonard’s, which feature curved cold-formed shear walls that are wrapped in two layers of plywood and finished with stucco. The Stew Leonard’s grocery chain operates stores along the Eastern Seaboard, but this site marks its first venture into New Jersey. On-the-spot solutions were required to meet installation and budget deadlines.įirst-Place Award / Commercial -raSmith-Stew Leonard’s-Paramus, New Jersey No two studs are alike at the top of the structure, which was the most difficult curve to achieve. The unusual curved shape was achieved using conventional CFS and proprietary curved framing as well as concave stud bracing. The bridge connects the new Ballston Mall to the Metrorail station. Structural steel tubes support a waving zinc roof which encloses an interior space surrounded by glass curtain walls, a polished concrete floor and a faceted wood-look ceiling.
