This adaptive re-use project involves the conversion of a historic salt storage facility into a modern office building and event center. FSE performed an iterative structural analysis that determined how to save the original deteriorated salt sheds, add a new mezzanine and integrate new office space within this 120,000 GSF building complex. Through a combination of field investigations and parametric structural modeling, FSE developed a customized solution to convert this facility and give it new life.
The Edison in Milwaukee, WI, is set to become the world’s tallest timber tower — 31 stories and 365 feet tall. The building will offer 378 modern apartments in a striking 500,000-square-foot design.
By using sustainable timber and smart engineering, The Edison will cut carbon emissions by more than half and use 45% less energy than typical high-rises. It’s also pursuing Passive House certification, a global gold standard for energy efficiency.
Blending strength, beauty, and sustainability, The Edison will stand as a new landmark for green living and innovative design.
