Using a Wood Podium in Mixed-use Design:
An Architectural Case Study
Michael F. Malinowski, AIA, Applied Architecture Inc.
Mixed use buildings in an urban setting often combine parking and retail uses on the ground level with residential uses above—and maximizing the amount of wood in these structures can provide substantial value for the community, environment and development team. This presentation will showcase an all-wood podium building recently completed as part of a successful redevelopment project in the Sacramento Valley. Topics will include opportunities and challenges associated with wood use in mid-rise design, including code analysis, occupancies, structural considerations, management of the design for longevity, and sustainability.
