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. ![Avila Towers](https://www.mka.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/97721_00_N35_indesign-jpg.webp)
