Project Spotlight: Octothorpe House
Eclipse served as Engineer of Record and specialty engineer for a unique one-story private home in Bend, Oregon with exposed roofs and walls constructed with CLT.
The distinctive home was dubbed “The Octothorpe House” in press coverage due to eight wings extending around a central courtyard, resembling a pound sign in aerial view. The CLT panels make up the gravity- and lateral-resisting systems. Mechanical heating and cooling systems were strategically placed in attic areas with inconspicuous venting through the CLT wall panels and all connections were hidden.
Project Spotlight: Brewery Lofts
Eclipse is proud to be Engineer of Record for this 70,000-square-foot multi-use building in Tacoma, Washington’s historic brewery district. The structure includes four stories of luxury apartments over three stories of commercial space for a total of seven stories.
The top-level flat roof features CLT planks on reclaimed Douglas fir timber beams supported by Douglas fir timber columns that bear on a similar system for four additional floors. At the time of completion in 2019, the structure was the second tallest occupiable wood building in the United States.
