The platform framing system is ideal for this light wood frame house. Each floor is built as an independent platform, allowing for easy stacking of floors and a stable load transfer down to the foundation. Vertical loads from the roof and upper levels are supported by wall studs, while lateral loads (like wind or seismic forces) are resisted with shear walls and bracing, preventing swaying. This system is efficient, allowing for simple installation of insulation, electrical, and plumbing, making it both cost-effective and durable for residential homes.
