Project Description

Structura was pleased to serve as the structural engineer of record for The Lofts at Canal Walk, a four-story residential building situated in the heart of historic Richmond, VA. This modern loft-style development offers residents striking skyline views and a thoughtfully designed courtyard with a swimming pool and multiple communal spaces, creating a resort-like living experience.

Structura's team provided critical structural engineering services, ensuring the seamless integration of contemporary design with Richmond's unique urban fabric. Key contributions included:

  • Structural Systems Design: Developed a robust structural framework to support the building's residential units, public spaces, and amenity areas while maintaining the architectural vision.
  • Courtyard & Pool Area: Provided structural support for the design of the outdoor courtyard, including the pool and surrounding communal spaces, optimizing the use of the site while preserving its aesthetic value.
  • Skyline Integration: Ensured the structural system aligned with the building's design to offer panoramic views of the city’s skyline, contributing to the development’s luxurious, modern appeal.

Structura’s engineering expertise played a pivotal role in transforming the project into a signature piece of urban living, blending contemporary luxury with Richmond's rich history.
