Our latest blog, “Deconstructing the Wind. It’s More Than Just Speed,” continues our series on understanding wind loads on Florida roofs.

🔗 Read the full article on our website, expanding on our January post about roof types and how they respond to wind.

Where nature and engineering breathe together, the Eden Project in Cornwall shows what happens when design meets sustainability. Steel geodesic domes, ETFE “pillows,” and reclaimed land come together to create two vast biomes that house entire ecosystems.

Prefab doesn’t mean low quality. With the right engineering, these systems deliver strength, efficiency, and reliability.

Quality isn’t about the method, it’s about the engineering behind it.

Some connections hold firm, others allow movement, together, they shape how a structure stands strong.

In The Art of Connection, we close the series by exploring how shear, moment, and axial connections share the load.

Modern design meets structural precision in Coral Gables.

We handled the structural design for a residential addition, retrofit, and accessory building, keeping everything clean with concealed connections.

Did You Know? That wavy pattern in metal sheets actually makes them stronger!

This is called corrugation. The ridges add stiffness and strength without adding significant weight, which is why it's used in everything from roofing to bridge supports.

Bolts or welds, each method has its role 🔩⚙️

In The Art of Connection, we look at how these details shape strength, constructability, and long-term performance.

Every structure stands on its bonds, the points where elements come together to share loads and create stability.

In The Art of Connection, we start with what makes these joints essential to a structure’s strength, performance, and reliability.

Florida roofs face some of the strongest winds in the country 🌪️

Each roof shape handles storms differently, and knowing those wind forces is key to safer design.

Our new blog, Understanding Wind Loads on Florida Roofs (Part 1), explains how roof geometry affects performance.

When art meets engineering, Metropol Parasol in Seville shows how bold design can rise safely with the right structural foresight.
From carefully engineered timber parasols to advanced connection systems and canopy coatings, this landmark balances style, function, and resilience.

Not all walls are what they seem. 🧱

Some carry critical loads that keep your structure safe. Before making changes, check with a structural engineer.

Protect your home today by making informed choices.

What if your building could tell you how it feels?

By 2026, Smart Structural Health Monitoring will make that possible. Sensors will track stress, movement, and wear in real time, giving safer buildings, faster decisions, and maintenance before problems grow.

Did You Know? 🏙️Skyscrapers are designed to sway on purpose!

A slight, controlled flex allows tall buildings to dissipate wind energy safely. This reduces structural stress and makes the building more comfortable for everyone inside.

Introducing Biomimetic Structural Design, where structures are not only strong but efficiently built, taking cues from nature’s own designs like bones or termite mounds. Using advanced tools, we’re turning these lessons into smarter, more sustainable buildings.

This year, our team came together for a Secret Santa celebration to close out the holidays.

Even as a remote team, we shared laughs, and created meaningful moments that reflect our culture. We’re grateful for this amazing team and the memories we continue to build together.
