BAR CENTER AT THE BEACH
Venice, CA USA
2021

The project scope for the new ocean front community center included a full seismic retrofit of an existing single story URM building with a two level addition including roof deck gathering space under a custom trellis. Nous Engineering created a 3-D Point Cloud to verify existing conditions and assist the design team to work within the strict demolition criteria. Nous provided design and fabrication assistance for the custom metal panel system. In order to retain entitlements, 50% of the existing building was required to remain in place during construction. Nous assisted the contractor with shoring and construction sequencing to achieve the strict requirements.
