Make-A-Wish Southern Florida

Location: Miami, Florida

Client: Emm-Trace Inc.

Status: Completed

DOP Engineering takes pride in completing our project for Emm-Trace Inc, focusing on select elements within the offices of Make-A-Wish Southern Florida in Miami, Florida.

 

Structural Elements 

We carefully engineered stair guardrails and wall-mounted handrails using sturdy steel pipes, prioritizing safety, security, and stability. In addition, to achieve a modern aesthetic, we designed terrace railings with sleek aluminum posts and top/bottom aluminum rails. Beyond their visual appeal, these railings serve as essential safety components for the terrace area, instilling confidence in users.

 

Following this, we designed perimeter and courtyard fences, pedestrian gates, and rolling gates, all featuring aluminum posts, pickets, and top/bottom aluminum rails. These elements were carefully crafted to enhance security while maintaining visual appeal and durability. Equally important, we engineered custom-designed rooftop ladders and sump pit covers using sturdy steel materials to withstand outdoor conditions effectively, ensuring long-term reliability and functionality.

 

On the other hand, we designed two suspended canopies, strategically placed on the north and south elevations, they were designed and beam-welded to baseplates for structural integrity and aesthetic finesse. Additionally, these canopies provide shelter and enhance the outdoor space, adding both practical and visual value. Finally, we crafted the aluminum trellis to enhance the terrace level, using precision-engineered aluminum components, adding a touch of elegance while providing structural support.

 

Through our collaboration with Emm-Trace Inc, we’re proud to have contributed to the enhancement of the Make-A-Wish Southern Florida offices in Miami. For the same reason DOP Engineering remains committed to delivering quality solutions that not only meet but exceed our clients’ expectations.

Farmhouse Addition in Hobe Sound, Florida

Project Type: Residential Structural Addition.

Location: Hobe Sound, Florida.

Client: Marjorie Carrillo Architect, PLLC

 

DOP Engineering is providing structural engineering services for a residential addition in Hobe Sound, Florida. The project expands a 1990s wood-frame farmhouse with a new attached garage and a second-floor guest apartment.

 

To make space for the new structure, the team removed parts of existing walls, doors, columns, and sections of the existing roof. At the same time, important elements such as exterior wall sections, plywood and trusses were ketp to support the transition.

 

The addition features CMU block walls, a concrete floor slab, and a wood floor and roof system. These upgrades bring durability while staying compatible with the original house. In addition, an enclosed hall now connects the farmhouse to the two-story garage/apartment. This design allows the garage to detach in the future if the family rebuilds the main house.

 

This project shows DOP Engineering’s focus on strong, adaptable solutions. This Farmhouse Addition in Hobe Sound is ready to grow along with the needs of the family.
