Sail Newport
Newport, RIThe Sail Newport main building showcases mass timber construction, featuring glulam beams integrated with dovetail metal hangers for both structural efficiency and architectural appeal. The staircase was custom-engineered to meet specific load requirements while optimizing space. For lateral support, the design incorporates round braces, or “spars,” repurposed from boat masts, blending functionality with a unique nautical aesthetic.
