DINING HALL at TWIN LAKES BIBLE CAMP - Manson, Iowa
Client: Connect Architecture, Des Moines, Iowa
To be completed: 2020
This new dining hall and gathering place at Twin Lakes Bible Camp is nearing completion. The lower story foundation walls are ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms), with concrete poured between two layers of polystyrene. The main floor system above the lower level consists of precast, prestressed holow-core slabs supported on steel beams and ICF bearing walls.
The main superstructure above the hollow-core floor system consists of 2 x 8 wood stud walls, wood roof trusses bearing on the stud walls and supporting 8-1/2” thick SIPS (Structural Insulated Panel System) panels. This will create a very energy-efficient building and will be a great addition to the Bible Camp. The video below shows construction progress to date.

RESIDENCE ADDITION AND REMODELING - DES MOINES, IOWA - 2021
The goal of the addition and remodeling that was planned for this home was to enlarge the open living space with a small addition to the west and by removing two columns between the kitchen and the living room that supported a beam that was installed during removal of an original bearing wall approximately eight years earlier.
