Residential district design
Design of residential buildings as part of a housing estate with flats of high comfort.
The site for the construction of houses has an irregular configuration with a pronounced relief difference. The western part of the site borders on apartment and block single-family dwelling houses (number of storeys of buildings: 2-5 storeys), in the eastern part of the site there is a forest area, the southern part of the site borders on a road of district significance. The project envisages apartment blocks with separate volumes, consisting of two separate 6-storey buildings connected with a common ground stylobate structure. In the upper part of the stylobate it is planned to arrange children's playgrounds, recreation areas, small architectural forms and other structures, in the lower part - an open-type car park. The ratio of the total parking places to the flats of the whole quarter is approximately 1.5 parking places per flat.
The array of blocks of flats is dominated by one and two bedroom flats, comprising approximately 80%. The remaining 20% are 3-room flats. In projected 2-3 room flats, according to the needs of residents, the kitchen can be formed as a separate room or combined with the main living space. It is planned to use a ventilated facade system for the exterior of apartment blocks. Entrances are from aluminium sheets, internal balconies are covered with composite panels with wood finish. The floor covering of balconies and terraces is made of boards, products from wood-polymer composite. An efficient ventilation system with heat recuperation is envisaged for each apartment, and an opportunity to install an air-conditioning system (apartment or central) is also provided for. It is necessary to develop options for electric heating and water heating use.
Based on their experience, I can recommend Eneca.
We worked with Eneca to create a structural Revit model of a residential complex having the floor area of 41 571 qm and consisting of 6 three-storey residential buildings with an underground car park out of 2D drawings.
We appreciate the readiness of Eneca to support us in BIM-modelling at a short notice, as well as their flexibility in providing us with the resources needed to meet a strict deadline. All the modelling was done with the division into lots in a short time within 2 weeks. Eneca’s specialists were always willing to take the time to discuss our concerns and work out additional requests.
The good knowledge of Revit and professional experience in structural design allowed Eneca’s team to quickly grasp high Implenia's modelling requirements. The BIM model was created according to 3D BKP Model guidelines and standards of Implenia including compliance to the parameters and element naming rules according to Baukostenplan Hochbau. The Eneca’s detail-oriented and organized approach helped to create a high-quality BKP model aimed at automating the calculation of construction volumes and costs.
I am pleased with the quality of the services ENECA provides. Thus, I can recommend them to others in need of similar BIM modelling services.
10 project areas together and discussed for some other future opportunities. Their engineering team is located abroad, however, the remote work is well-organized.
The design process always requires flexibility and capability to think differently, and we were pleased to see Eneca’s readiness to support us and solve all the project issues together. When there was a need to do some quick revisions at a very late stage, Eneca's specialists performed them in a high qualitative and timely manner. The technical competence and deep Tekla knowledge of Eneca’s team as well as their high-performance efficiency and always keen in continuous improvement, provided us an important support in our engineering process.
