Vivante Phase II
Scope/Solutions
Vivante is a multibuilding assisted living and memory care community in Orange County. With Phase II, Vivante adds 118 assisted and independent living residences and many new amenities to the existing property. SGH served as the structural engineer for the project.
SGH designed the structure for the four-story building. Highlights of our design include the following:
- A partial basement, including parking and utility spaces
- Post-tensioned flat plate concrete floor slabs to provide reinforced concrete columns and shallow concrete foundations
- Special reinforced concrete shear walls integrated with the perimeter wall system and coordinated with the architectural design
- Concealed two-story concrete arches and post-tensioned queen-post hanger columns supporting the residential floors over the column-free multipurpose room
- A steel-framed porte cochere

Additional Projects
West
Lane Building, 8th and Spring Streets
The historic Lane Building is a twelve-story, nonductile concrete structure originally constructed in the early 1920s. The owner undertook a renovation project to convert the building to a mixed-use property with ground-floor retail and more than 100 apartment units. SGH collaborated with the project team to design seismic strengthening that could be integrated with the proposed program, while maintaining the building’s historic character.

Murano, 3131 Pierce Street
At the corner of Pierce and Lombard Streets, the ribbons of custom perforated aluminum panels on Murano's facades represent the undulating movement through the surrounding neighborhoods. SGH provided building enclosure consulting services for the project.
