RIDING ARENA
For this expansive horse riding arena, we engineered a 77ft clear span that seamlessly integrates high-performance steel flitch plates with the warmth of exposed heavy timber. By utilizing a sophisticated system of cantilevered steel frames and wood columns, we eliminated the need for interior supports, preserving both the functional requirements of the stable and the project’s elegant aesthetic.
