Grace House, located in Weatherford, TX, is a clinic with a unique design situation — how do you design a curved roof system while ensuring easy field installation while keeping the system non-combustible. This design was a prime candidate for our hybrid framing solution.
This system uses a combination of cold-formed steel (CFS) and a bolt together structural steel frame (HSS Columns & I-Beams). This gives the structure both strength and flexibility, allowing us to provide a very open store front look as specified by the project architect.
