Martis Camp Lot 581

Designed by Kelly & Stone Architects, this unique mountain home on a steep hillside lot in Martis Camp posed several key challenges that ZE addressed through years of experience in high level residential engineering.

ZE had to take into consideration the snow load and seismic activity of the area and the impressive cantilever elements which are the signature features of this four-level home. Among several other engineered feats, ZE created multiple independent support systems to prevent deflection in the roof from pinching the oversized hideaway door system and developing the floating entryway dynamics.

In addition to creating a full set of structural drawings, ZE also created a full set of steel shop drawings to maintain the quality and integrity of the design.

“The primary double roof structure is supported entirely by the central stone fireplace, with no other supporting columns or bracing. And the dramatic cantilevered roof that shelters the house’s entry approach is supported by an asymmetrical stone wall to the side. These engineering achievements are even more impressive given the structural requirements to manage snow loads in this climate.”

- Kelly & Stone Architects
