Casa a Colina

A metal structure was the best option for the support structure because it’s a rectangular prism block supported only in two points (simply supported type) on a concrete structure.

This formed a free span of approximately 21.0m and a cantilever of 8.6m, which led to the choice of main metallic truss beams with 34.5m in length x 4.3m in height, and secondary castellated metallic beams with 9.5m for the floor and roof.

The floor is a metal deck and a concrete slab, with a total height of 13 cm.

The roof is like a roof deck with Rockwool insulation and waterproofing layers.
