Adaptive Reuse
Adaptive reuse projects often come with unique challenges, particularly in integrating modern functionality into buildings with historical significance.
The structural design must balance maintaining the building’s original character while introducing new systems that meet current safety standards and functionality.
At Suntaris, we approach adaptive reuse with creativity and precision, using advanced structural analysis to retrofit existing foundations and reinforce elements where necessary.
When working with existing adaptive reuse structures, one of the key challenges is assessing the integrity of aging materials and ensuring the building can handle the new loads and functions. We provide comprehensive structural assessments, identifying areas of weakness, such as deteriorated materials or outdated systems, and offering targeted repair and reinforcement solutions.
Whether it’s improving seismic performance or upgrading load-bearing walls, we have the expertise to extend the lifespan of your building while maintaining its historical charm. Our proactive approach ensures the structure can meet the evolving needs of its new purpose, reducing the risk of costly unforeseen repairs during the renovation process
Industrial/Warehouse
Industrial and warehouse facilities face specific challenges in accommodating heavy machinery, high storage loads, and operational demands. Designing for these factors requires careful attention to the structural loads, foundation systems, and spatial optimization.
At Suntaris, we leverage our expertise in heavy load design to ensure that your warehouse or industrial facility can support the intended operations efficiently. We design flexible, scalable layouts that optimize storage and workflow, integrating advanced structural solutions such as reinforced foundations and durable steel frameworks to withstand long-term wear and tear from heavy equipment and storage systems.
For existing industrial and warehouse structures, the challenges often revolve around aging materials, foundation settlement, and evolving operational needs. We conduct thorough structural evaluations to assess the building’s current condition and identify critical areas in need of repair or reinforcement.
Our team specializes in load checks for the installation of new equipment, retrofitting, and foundation stabilization, ensuring that your facility meets current operational requirements and complies with safety standards. By addressing these issues early, we can extend the functional lifespan of your industrial building while minimizing downtime and costly disruptions to business operations.
Healthcare
Designing healthcare facilities presents unique challenges, including the need for highly flexible spaces, advanced infrastructure, and strict adherence to regulatory standards. The structural design must account for everything from patient flow to the installation of complex medical equipment. Our team at Suntaris focuses on creating innovative, adaptable designs that meet the growing demands of healthcare providers while maintaining safety and comfort for patients. We integrate sustainable building practices with resilient design features to ensure healthcare spaces are both efficient and future-ready, providing long-term value for hospitals, clinics, and medical offices.
When working with existing healthcare buildings, the challenge lies in accommodating updated medical technologies and modern building codes without disrupting patient care. We offer structural assessments and rehabilitation services to identify areas in need of strengthening, whether it’s foundation settlement or load-bearing capacity. Our solutions include retrofit designs for upgrading structural systems to support new equipment, and improving accessibility. These enhancements allow healthcare facilities to remain operational while providing the safest environment for patients and staff, ensuring compliance with all relevant healthcare regulations
Parking Garages
Designing parking structures, precast or post-tensioned, requires specialized knowledge of parking sector. Challenges include parking bay width, quick exit/entrance, barrier system effectiveness, and aesthetic considerations within tight space constraints. We approach parking garage design with a focus on efficiency, level of service and durability. We design structural solutions that cater to both the functional needs of the garage and the aesthetic needs of the surrounding environment, ensuring long-term structural durability.
Existing parking garages often face challenges related to corrosion, deterioration of concrete slabs, and foundation settlement over time. Our team conducts thorough assessments of existing structures to identify areas of concern, such as rusted reinforcement or water infiltration. We then design repair and strengthening solutions tailored to the specific needs of the structure.
At Suntaris, we specialize in developing comprehensive Capital Asset Management Plans (CAMP) for multiple parking structures, which enables us to provide a proactive approach to maintenance and repair. We understand the importance of garage structural repairs, post-tensioning assessment and repair, and concrete cracking mitigation, and our experts are equipped to handle these complex issues. We also perform structural load checks to ensure that parking structures can withstand various loads and stresses, and provide waterproofing solutions to prevent water damage and corrosion. Additionally, our team is skilled in conducting fire damage assessments and developing repair plans to restore damaged parking structures to their original condition
Hospitality
In the hospitality sector, designing for aesthetics, guest comfort, and structural efficiency presents unique challenges. Creating an environment that appeals to guests while meeting the operational needs of the hotel or resort requires careful planning. We focus on creating innovative and adaptable designs that maximize space usage, integrate with modern building systems, and enhance guest experience. From luxurious lobbies to sustainable rooftop gardens, our designs ensure that each project balances structural stability, aesthetic appeal, and sustainability to create a lasting impact.
Renovating existing hospitality buildings involves addressing aging infrastructure, code compliance issues, and the need for modernization without disrupting ongoing operations. We provide structural assessments to evaluate the condition of key elements such as foundations, structural supports, and building systems. Our repair and upgrade solutions ensure that the structure meets modern standards and accommodates additional guest facilities. We specialize in designing seamless retrofits that improve the building’s performance and longevity, allowing it to remain operational throughout the renovation process
Office
In office building design, the challenge is often to create flexible, modern workspaces that meet diverse tenant needs while ensuring long-term sustainability and operational efficiency. We provide innovative office building designs that incorporate open floor plans, cutting-edge building systems, and energy-efficient features. We ensure that your office building accommodates future technological advances, supports tenant comfort, and provides structural solutions that enhance both the building’s functionality and aesthetic appeal.
For existing office buildings, the challenges include updating older infrastructure to meet current standards, improving energy efficiency, and retrofitting for seismic resilience or load capacity. Our structural evaluations identify critical upgrades needed to meet modern demands, whether it’s reinforcing foundations, improving vertical circulation, or upgrading facades. Our repair and retrofit services ensure that your office building stays competitive in the market, offering tenants safe, efficient spaces that meet both current and future needs
