ENZYMES TOWER HONG KONG

The vision for this project is to create a truly iconic landmark at the intersection of Wellington St. and Queens Road Central in the central district of Hong Kong Island. The goal is to design a building that not only stands out as an architectural marvel but also becomes a symbol of progress and modernity for the entire city.

The existing building at the project site, has become outdated and inefficient in its use of space. The client recognizes that the prime location demands a more ambitious approach to maximize the site’s potential. By exploring the possibility of constructing another building volume, the client seeks to address the under-utilized area, optimizing the Gross Floor Area (GFA) available on the site

Software Used:

Modeling : Revit

Clash Detection : Navis work

Diagram : Revit & Photoshop.

Render : Blender (Cycles) & Twinmotion

Post production : Photoshop.

Role in Team : Architecture Model, Structure Model, Clash detection, 3D Visualization ( MEP by Consultants )

Description:

The proposed building will be a mixed-use development, combining both Office and Service Apartments within the same structure. This mixed-use approach is a response to the dynamic needs of the central district.

Existing Building Envelop at the intersection of Wellington St. and Queens Road Central

Site:

The project site’s location at the intersection of Wellington St. and Queens Road Central is undeniably one of the most strategic and coveted spots in Hong Kong Island’s central district.

Extrude to the maximum allowed number of stories. (Area:2765.9 sqm, L1-L17: 162.7 sqm)

Creating a series of setbacks allowed as per the local regulation the addition of extra stories, in order to make up for the lost GFA.

The creation of sky gardens and public spaces, also allows the volume to grow higher recovering GFA, increasing the final number of stories.

• Maximise height through extrusion to accommodate more floors and increase the number of stories.

• Incorporate set-backs in accordance with local regulations to add extra stories, compensating for any lost gross floor area.

• Create sky gardens and public spaces to expand the building’s volume, recover the lost GFA, and further increase the number of stories.

• 4 point view by creating vast terrace or balcony that create a conception of leisure in office space.

• Ground level is public space with private lobby for office, the ground space can be used for workshops and expositions.

The site plan demonstrates compliance with regulations by providing generous open space around the building. The ground floor is designed as both an entrance lobby for the building and a potential public area. Additionally, the plan includes basement parking spaces to enhance convenience for occupants and visitors.

The illustration shows the integration of different work areas, following a simulated BIM execution plan, to construct a 21-story building. The visual provides a glimpse of a section of the complete 3D rendering of the structure (Level 15 to Level21)

The MEP model was done by another professional, and after the conclusion it was necessary to combine the mep model with structure and architectural model.

The floor plans are a simplified version of detail floor plans from working drawings illustrated using Revit. This condensed representation provides a comprehensive view of the building’s design, aiding stakeholders in understanding the spatial arrangement and functionality. This information can be used to make informed decisions during the construction process, ensuring proper placement of furniture, precise installation of doors/windows, and a clear understanding of the building’s vertical organisation.

The structural arrangement follows a straightforward organizational approach, featuring merely five columns. A spacious central core is incorporated, with walls oriented in various directions. This design choice serves to reduce the number of columns, thereby maximizing the available open space, a crucial factor for office environments.

The secondary core layout comprises two condensed compartments, dedicated to housing all the elevators. The structural documentation operates independently but is coordinated within the architectural files, functioning as a Revit link.

Navisworks clash detection is a valuable process that plays a crucial role in the coordination and successful execution of construction projects. By utilizing the powerful clash detection capabilities of Navisworks software, clashes and conflicts between different building elements, such as architectural, structural, and MEP components, can be identified and addressed. Clash detection involves the automated analysis of models from different disciplines to identify clashes where elements intersect or overlap in the virtual space.
