Krahn Group provided building design and structural engineering services for this three-storey concrete tilt-up mini-storage facility.

Krahn Group was hired to design this new three-storey concrete tilt-up mini-storage facility on a 1.6 acre site located in Chilliwack, BC.

This recently completed three storey storage facility in Mission, provides a dual orientation. One to the access street and the other to the regional highway artery on the other side. This tilt panel construction project utilizes a playful distribution of ‘glass box’ elements on the highway frontage making its use clear
visible from a significant distance. This project was delivered via the Design Build methodology.

The Kelowna Self Storage project is a mini-storage development with a total of 10 buildings construced in 2 phases. The buildings are single-storey concrete tilt-up buildings.

This first phase of a two phase self-storage development in the City of Abbotsford fronts on a busy thoroughfare and promotes its business via a minimalist, elegant glazed façade showcasing its use to the street. The project was procured via a Design Build methodology. It is planned on a rigorous 5×5 modular grid resulting in significant utilization efficiency. Principal materials include concrete tilt panels, curtainwall and profile metal cladding. The project is complete and leasing well.

This four-storey self storage building is a virtual zero lot line development in east Vancouver fronting Clark Drive. It is extremely efficient in space utilization and resolves significant challenges in planning this light industrial use in direct proximity to a residential neighbourhood. It is a very minimalist and modern building design well suited to its urban context. The principal materials are insulated metal panels, conventional steel construction and curtainwall.

This two phase development establishes an engaging and playful exterior design which is at once attractive and memorable making this self-storage facility a recognized destination in the town of Squamish and in the region. The warmth of wood grain combines with the strength and durability and security of tilt panel construction. Design Build delivery process. On time and on budget.

This five storey urban self-storage facility occupies and very compact land parcel and provides high visibility from a significant retail and industrial neighbourhood. This is an owner built project utilizing conventional steel and precast panel construction Curtainwall is used to allow view into the building as part of the marketing strategy.

This Self Storage Depot project is a ground breaking development with perhaps the highest density of any new built self-storage project in Canada. Currently planned to be 6 storeys tall in two phases developed vertically, this storage tower concentrates the use on the main level and allows an additional storage capacity below grade. The principal materials are curtainwall, spandrel glass, insulated precast paneling and exposed concrete. Various features on the principal elevations contribute to the ‘cultural’ requirements at the City of North Vancouver. To be delivered via a Construction Management process.
