Project Type: Specialty & Component Design
Location: Miami, Florida
For this modern Miami residence, DOP Engineering provided structural solutions for key design elements, including a staircase, glass railings, and a hurricane-resistant pivot door. Our expertise ensured that these components met both aesthetic and structural demands, enhancing the home’s functionality and resilience.
Â
The staircase required a well-engineered support system to balance style and stability. We developed detailed structural drawings specifying steel framing and critical connections, allowing for an open, modern look without compromising strength.
Â
This project included two types of glass railings: a standoff glass railing and a base shoe glass railing. Our structural drawings accounted for load distribution and secure installation, ensuring safety while preserving the home’s sleek, transparent design.
Â
A key feature of this home is its oversized pivot door, designed to meet Miami’s strict hurricane resistance standards. Given its height and weight, we engineered an internal steel tubing structure, known as the internal mullion system, to reinforce it against high wind loads while maintaining its modern aesthetic.
DOP Engineering played a vital role in bringing these structural elements to life, ensuring this Miami residence blends durability with contemporary design. Our team continues to deliver innovative solutions for high-performance homes.
