Our Plan of the Month: Forest Ranger Tower
This 18’x18’ tower to be built in Alaska by Serendipity log homes is a unique design because it is top heavy within a high seismic and wind load zone. So much bracing and cabling was incorporated in the design. All windows and doors have 8” wide trim work to hide steel tubing welded square frames hidden behind the trims to enhance shear strength at top floor. A challenging design but a cool place to live in as it could be turned into a living apartment at top with 360 degree views.
