Avila Towers

Part of a master-planned community, these Performance-Based Seismic Design towers—one 41 stories and another 25 stories—were built above a shared, three-story podium. MKA’s design solution incorporated a robust diaphragm connection between the towers, allowing every level of the 25-story building to connect to the taller tower via skybridges.  In addition, stone columns below the foundation account for the site’s soft soil, addressing seismic force and liquefaction considerations.
