Brief:

This project, based on a large scale building, consisted of detailing and documenting of a core, the services and the façade of an office building located in Wellington, New Zealand.

The knowledge gained in this project included the principles of designing and building larger buildings, specific construction systems suitable for high rise offices and use of technologies that are suitable and mandatory on larger projects. This process also informed that buildings are constructed as a result of a multitude of intersecting factors: regulatory conditions, building performance criteria, climate, cost, materials, design objectives – all these, among others, needed to be resolved in order to get a building built.

Researching through an array of materials and techniques, this project documents the specifications to New Zealand standards that are to a quality of submission to local authorities and building contractors.

Work conducted at VUW (Personal portfolio).
