Construction Period 09/2012 - 07/2013
The new 5,000-square-foot wood-framed building was created for a
founder of Oregon’s winemaking industry. In addition to a tasting room
with wine bar and lounge, the building includes a kitchen and dining
room, library, wine storage, and a sunken courtyard. The unique roof and
ceiling shape were created using custom plywood box beams, with top
and bottom chords shaped to follow the desired roof and ceiling lines.
These beams cantilever 6 m+ (20’+) over a terrace, leaving dramatic open
spaces that are not typically created with wood-framed structures.
SCIA Engineer was chosen as the analysis package for the roof to
accommodate the non-orthogonal, irregular design. Engineers utilized
CAD drawings generated by the architect to lay out roof framing, which
was then imported directly into SCIA Engineer.
Fully modelling the plywood box beams with their varying depths created
both a visual reference - useful for both the engineering and architecture
teams - and a more accurate understanding of anticipated roof deflections
under gravity, snow loads, and wind loading.
