Meadow Pavilion
Cross River, NY
GMS provided structural engineering for the new guest house and for the extensive site retaining walls and landscape features on this sloped site.
The structure functions as a guest house on a larger estate and has a full unfinished basement, fully finished first floor and fully finished second floor with an exterior balcony and an unenclosed, attached carport. The project included multiple guest house buildings as part of a complex of houses. Construction consisted of state-of-the-art architectural design involving glass, steel and concrete.
A special design feature of the project was a custom-fabricated stair using perforated steel bent to form the treads and risers. The perforated steel was welded to a slot in the inner layer of the built up steel stringer. The gap between the inner and outer layers provides the seat for the glass guardrail and handrail.
