Our Work

East End Lofts

An 80-year-old historic concrete structure, the East End Lofts, or Elliott Building, formerly housed a car dealership. The rehabilitated building is now home to 18 premier lofts and creative office spaces, as well as two restaurants on the ground level, P.F. Chang’s and Mikuni. We used performance-based engineering to design friction dampers to dissipate the dynamic energy of an earthquake, and fiber reinforced polymer composites were used to increase the floor capacity. Exemplary of how innovative design contributes to repurposing historic buildings in today’s urban landscapes, this project has won numerous design awards from industry associations.
