About the Project

The project is located in the Central District of Hong Kong Island, at the intersection of Wellington Street and Queen's Road Central. The current structure, built in the 1970s, does not fully utilize the plot's allotted Gross Floor Area (GFA). The client intends to learn more about the possibility of developing another building volume that maximizes return on investment (ROI) while also establishing a unique landmark in this magnificent urban location. The currently available GFA is underutilized, with the current used GFA measuring 1430.7 sqm.

Concept Development & Massing

Extrude to the Maximum allowed number of Stories

In order to make up for the lost GFA, it is permitted to create a series of set-backs in accordance with local regulations regarding the addition of additional stories.

The creation of public areas, such as sky gardens, also enables the volume to rise while recovering GFA, so raising the total number of stories.

A BIM model's base is made up of Revit families. They stand in for certain architectural components like doors, windows, furniture, lighting fixtures, and so forth. The behaviors and appearance of families are defined by geometric and parametric data. By creating distinctive families, designers may adjust to project-specific restrictions, improve productivity, and maintain consistency across designs.

Different types are allocated particular qualities to each family that is produced. When a 'door' family is built, for example, the type is described as solid door/fiber door, and the specifications differ - fire rating, structure, thicknesses, height, width, and so on. In the case of a staircase, various calculations are used to obtain the tread, breadth, rise, and so on.

A BIM

(Building Information

Modelling) coordinated model is a digital representation of a construction project that unites numerous design and construction disciplines into a single, cohesive 3D model. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process that involves the creation and management of digital information on the design, construction, and use of a building throughout its existence. The model is thereafter allocated to the appropriate task sets for easy discipline identification. The main Central Model is created by combining the IFCs from the several disciplines. The Building Execution Plan is followed during every procedure.

Facade Studies

Constraint: The strong heat produced by the sun's beams on the site's southeastern side caused discomfort for the building's users.

To address the issue, curtain panels with finer qualities had to be created.

Solution:

• Louvres are meant to allow air and light to pass through while blocking or redirecting direct sunlight. You can manage the amount of sunshine entering a space and consequently the heat levels by regulating the rotation angle of the louvres.

control over artificial cooling.

Creating shared parameter "Rotation Angle" to understand the louvre rotation

• The rotation angle of the louvres is calculated using several parameters, including the individual site conditions, the desired level of sunlight control, and the angle and position of the sun during the day.

The louvre rotation takes place from 0° to 89°. This aids in heat regulation and provides

The louvre fins are made of aluminum with various coatings depending on the use.

Proper organization of the Project Browser enhances workflow and makes it easier to find and manage different components of the project.

Schedules

Schedules are an effective tool in Revit that may be used to produce tabulated representations of data from a building model. They aid in the organization and communication of data on the various components of our project, including the doors, windows, rooms, materials, etc. For example, quantity takeoffs, design coordination, and documentation are just a few uses for schedules.

Navisworks Clash Detection

• The Revit model was exported to Naviswork along with all of the necessary parameters.

• Naviswork model elements were then separated into sets depending on all three disciplines, namely architecture, structural, and MEP.

• Finally, multiple task sets were built to check for incompatibilities between disciplines based on the unique requirements and tolerances, and the Revit model was resoled via Switchback.

Navisworks Clash Detection Report

Based on matrix details, search sets and clash detection tests are generated.

For 4D Simulation:

1. Create 4D parameter in Revit.

2. Create search sets based on the 4d parameter.

3. Using Simulate in Time liner tab, export the 4D simulation.

Quantification:

Quantity data can be simply derived from this Naviswork feature.

• Created sets based on various materials in the Item catalogue.

• Using material takeoff, add those sets to Items.

• Importing the materials into Excel.

Adaptive Family Creation

• Adaptive components in Revit are a way to create custom parametric families that can be manipulated and adjusted using control points.

• These components are particularly useful when dealing with complex, non-standard shapes that need to adapt to different design scenarios.

• They allow us to create dynamic and flexible models.

• We can use adaptive components to create various forms, patterns, or specialized elements.

• An adaptive mullion family in Revit refers to a parametric element that can be placed within a curtain wall system and can adapt its shape and dimensions based on specific design criteria.

• This allows us to create custom mullion profiles that can change in response to different conditions, resulting in more flexible and dynamic curtain wall designs.
