In this very organic sinuous form we were able to assist several contractors.
- External panelling
- Resolve the developed panel shapes needed for the cladding to conform to the 3d form
- The ceiling design
called for a form that would mimic the roof cladding inside the building. It would need to present a smooth plaster form to the visitors.
To achieve this we were needed to produce working drawings that wouls accurately represent the shapes of each element as it curved, twisted and would rise and fall. Sections and details were then taken from these to enable the production of working moulds to manufacture to plaster panels.
- Lighting
. The lighting contractor had no previous xperience of 3D CAD. Increasingly architects are specifying work in this manner. Our consultation helped the contractor fully appreciate the full implications of the brief before going to tender.
- Landscaping
. The hard block landscaping covered a very extensive area and the managmnet of water run off would be critical. By modelling the landscape we were able to reach a result that generated optimal contours without resorting to diagonal cutting of the granite flags that were to be used.
We offer bureau service
to help you visualise your project or
to assist with the volume or technical aspect of using 3D CAD.
