Architecture
Architecture inspired by the work of Salvador Dali. Use of colors and intriguing interior angles/levels to recreate some of the experiences promoted through his artwork. One the 3rd level of the building there is an outdoor area with a fire pit, swimming pool, and other amenities that come together to form something resembling Dali artwork.
Typical residential units have two bedrooms/bathrooms, a living room, balcony, kitchen, laundry, etc.
Building Enclosure
Building Façade: Storefront windows used on all residential units. Windows have 9/16” laminated glass with an outboard ply or ¼“ heat strengthened glass, clear polyvinyl butyryl (PVB) interlayer, tinted heat strengthened glass. Glazing tested for large missile impact at locations less than 30 feet above grade. Double insulated Solarban 70 XL units. Provided one-part acid-curing silicone glazing sealant and preformed butyl-polyisobutylene glazing tape. Wall panels with stucco control joints used for majority of exterior veneer.
Roofing: Thermoplastic Polyolefin membrane over tapered insulation. 2 ply modified bitumen roof system with white coating over tapered insulation.
Structural
Typical residential floor is supported by 10” Hollow Core plank that bears on 8” CMU walls. These walls carry the load down to a 30” post-tensioned concrete transfer slab located at the 3rd floor. Additionally, on the 3rd floor is the amenity deck, which is supported by a 12” post tensioned concrete slab. The 3rd floor is then supported by reinforced concrete columns. The foundation primarily consists of spread footings that are constructed on grade. The primary lateral system of the building are 12” reinforced concrete shear walls and 12” masonry shear walls. The parking structure on floors 1 and 2 are supported by an 8” post-tensioned concrete slab.
Mechanical
The main mechanical system for the Salvador are serviced by 27 rooftop air handling units and Variable Frequency Drives to increase efficiency. Each residential unit is controlled within the apartment. Each apartment comes with EnergyStar appliances including the condensing units and water heaters.
Transportation
Transportation within the residential portion of the building is serviced primarily through an elevator and stair core in the southwestern part of the building. In conjunction, there is a stair tower located in the southeastern part of the building as well. There is also a stairwell located in the northeast portion of the building to service the 3rd Floor Amenity Deck.

All exterior load bearing masonry walls, as well as stair towers, have a 2 hour fire rating, while interior masonry walls are rated for 1 hour. The building is fully sprinkled and all penetrations between fire rated walls are properly sealed in accordance with ASTM E814.
