RAINBOW TROUT
KL&A developed an integrated system of steel, wood, and concrete to achieve both efficiency and constructability. Careful coordination allowed for minimal interior structure, supporting open living spaces and resolving complex conditions at cantilevers and large window openings.
Through early collaboration, KL&A helped align structure with architectural intent, reducing field challenges and streamlining construction. The result is a refined, high-performing residence where structure and design work seamlessly together.
