Wilton Manors Residential Project
Location: Wilton Manors, Florida
Client: Field Agency Architecture
DOP Engineering is thrilled to share details about our recent residential project development in Wilton Manors, Florida. Moreover, this custom-designed home, spanning 2,675 square feet, underscores our dedication to modern architectural aesthetics and robust structural engineering.
Structural Design and Foundation
First, the foundation was planned as a slab-on-grade with thickened edges, providing a stable base for the structure. Similarly, we incorporated metallic columns with isolated foundations to enhance support and load distribution, thereby strengthening the foundation and boosting the house’s overall durability.
Additionally, for the walls, we opted for Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) due to their strength and resilience. These CMU walls complement concrete tie-beams, which provide additional structural support and help in evenly distributing the loads across the foundation. As a result, this combination ensures the house stands firm against various environmental stresses.
Hambro system
In the same way, for the second floor and roof, we chose the Hambro system, which combines steel joists with a concrete slab. This system offers numerous advantages. Notably, it provides superior fire resistance, sound insulation, and long-term structural integrity. Consequently, it also allows for greater flexibility in architectural design, ensuring a seamless blend of functionality and aesthetics.
Furthermore, we worked closely with Field Agency Architecture to ensure our structural designs aligned perfectly with their architectural vision for the home. As a result of this collaborative approach, we achieved guaranteed and seamless integration of form and function, ensuring a residence that would be both visually stunning and structurally sound. Additionally, our meticulous attention to detail in both design and construction ensures that every aspect of the project meets the highest standards of quality and innovation.

Structural features of a Miami home
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.
Structural Design of the Staircase
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.
Glass Railings for Interior Spaces
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.
Hurricane-Resistant Pivot Door
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.
Precision Engineering for Modern Living
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.
