Space-Savvy Structures

The second problem was that the structural columns had to fit within the 6 inch steel stud exterior walls.  A normal steel column would be an “I” shape piece 10 to 12 inches wide, so that was not an option.

Since we had less than 6 inches of exterior stud depth our solution was to use a larger number of 4 and 5 inch square steel tube columns.  This meant over 204 column locations around the exterior walls, in addition to “X” bracing any section of the exterior wall that did not have window openings.

William Robert King, RA

In June of 1979, William Robert King, the firm’s founder, began his career in New York City as a project architect in the office of Ulrich Franzen and Associates, a noted international architectural firm. Mr. King’s experience working on projects such as Champion International Headquarters in Stamford, CT; Con Edison-Queens Division Headquarters in Forest Hills, NY; and the Headquarters for Philip Morris in New York City among many others, created the background for establishing his own practice in April of 1984.

From that point onward, Mr. King has developed a firm known for expertise in a wide range of projects and providing a variety of services for a diverse clientele.

In the first decade of practice, the firm’s work concentrated on residential rehabilitation projects for individual clients. In the years since the firm has seen a continuing trend towards residential, medical and commercial projects.

We are committed to improving the quality of services as well as maintaining our high design standards. Toward that end, we have fully computerized drafting & design, utilizing AutoCad, 3D Studio Max and Microsoft Visio Professional software.
