The Carbon Fiber bridge was commissioned for a private residence to connect the main house to the garage across a gully. The bridge avoids directly impacting the local fauna by cantilevering 50’ from the patio structure like a diving board, requiring no additional support anywhere along its span. Installation access was another constraint due to the winding roads of the Berkeley hills and difficulties with getting any kind of equipment to the site. The bridge was made in three pieces, each light enough to be carried by hand, and then bolted together on site.

The FRP rain screen at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) is the largest FRP facade in the US to date. K&A’s patented formulation passes all code required tests including NFPA 285. Such a lightweight facade eliminated the need for over 15 tons of support structure necessary for the GFRC option allowing the FRP to be fastened directly to the unitized facade panels prior to installation reducing jobsite time and cost.
