IntroductionBrief

Our team has been appointed to design a new office specifically tailored to legal firms and legal training. The building must incorporate space for multiple companies.

Schedule of Accommodation:

Office spaces (both open plan and cellular)

Meeting/board rooms (varying sizes for specific uses, eg. 1 to 1, groups, etc.)

Achieve storage room

General storage rooms

Moot court (legal training court)

Break-out spaces throughout the building

Kitchenette/coffee points

Toilets (male,female, accessible WC’s, shower room, etc.)

Accessible lift

Cleaners store

Central reception with guest waiting area

STRUCTURE

SiteProposed Site

The proposed site is located on the North bank of the River Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne.

57 QuaysideNewcastle upon TyneNE1 2BJ

Currently housing a ‘Pocket Park’, an initiative promoted by NE1

STRUCTURE

Site ConstraintsSite Boundaries

The site is restricted on two sides by neighbouring buildings:

Flynn’s Bar

Law Building

To the front, the site is restricted by the street front and public footpath

To the rear, the site is slight more open with room for car parking

All buildings are limited to roughly the same height and number of levels

Observations

Busy street to the South

Access needed to property along the East boundary

Access to car park from Broad Chare to the North East

Using the 3D City ModelCity Model

Throughout this project and the last we have used a 3D city model of Newcastle to create the context for our Revit model.

Used to better understand the site boundaries.

We have used the 3D city model to create more professional external renders.

The 3D model was used to align the point cloud data to one of the neighbouring buildings so a Revit model for these buildings could be modelled in place.

Data AcquisitionLaser Scanning

Tutorial in laser scanning with Paul from Leica Geosystems.

Scanned the full site from several different locations

We headed straight back to the computer suit to load the point cloud into Revit

STRUCTURE

Laser Scanning and Modelling from the Point Cloud DataModelling from Point Cloud Data

The point cloud data was opened in a new revit project and was used to begin building a model of the adjoining buildings to the site.

Using walls, extrusions and windows we created the facades of the buildings.

We created custom texture to apply to these surfaces.

We then added roofs and further details to complete the context models.

We worked individually on each of the buildings and the models were linked together before being imported and aligned to the site model.

The DesignSTRUCTURE

Architectural ModelModelling in Revit

We all began modelling the architecture model to create a com-prehensive mass made up of architectural elements:

Walls (with materials)

Floors

Doors

Windows and other glazing

This is the base for the BIM

What is Next?Structural Model

The next stage now for us is to complete the structural model, creating a fully comprehensive Level 2 BIM.

MEP Model

We will then create a mechanical and electrical model concentrating on one floor. This will give us three co-ordiated models which we can then process in Navisworks.

Navisworks

We will then import a central model into Autodesk’s Navisworks. Here we will run a series of clash detections between the architectural and structural models, architecture and MEP and structure with MEP.

In Navisworks we will also create a series of construction animations and renders using the cloud.

We welcome any questions?
