Project Spotlight
Heber Gateway Plaza
Custom-Designed Commercial Office Building
When the late Ivan Broman of Broman Architects brought his design for the Gateway Office Center in Heber City, Utah to Western Steel Buildings, he was uncertain whether a pre-engineered metal building could faithfully replicate the symmetry and proportion at the center of his architectural style. Western Steel took on the challenge, delivering a structure that carries forward Broman’s design intent within a steel building system.
The finished 60′ x 180′ x 30′ structure features a centered dormer that establishes a formal entrance, with an exterior blending insulated metal panels, wood, and brick. A standing seam roof system completes the building, while a straight three-plate frame and pre-engineered rigid clear-span design provide the structural foundation, including an interior mezzanine for additional usable space.
Project Scope & Scale
- Use: Office Plaza
- Total Sq. Ft.: 8,528 Sq. Ft.
- Building Size: 60′ x 180′ x 30′
- Frame Type: Straight 3-plate, pre-engineered steel, rigid clear span
- Roof System: Standing seam metal roof
- Exterior: Wood panels, brick, and insulated metal panels
- Special Features: Mezzanine, architectural dormer
Key Challenges
- Translating an architect’s symmetrical, proportion-driven design into a pre-engineered steel building system.
- Integrating a centered dormer element to establish a formal building entrance.
- Combining wood, brick, and metal panel finishes into a cohesive exterior.
- Incorporating a mezzanine level without disrupting the building’s clear-span structure.
Solution / Approach
- Engineered a rigid, clear-span, straight three-plate frame capable of supporting the architect’s design vision.
- Built a centered dormer feature to anchor the building’s entrance and preserve the design’s symmetry.
- Combined wood panel, brick, and insulated metal panel finishes across the exterior for a layered, architectural look.
- Added a mezzanine level to expand usable interior space within the clear-span footprint.
