Project Location: Derbyshire, UK

Scope of work: DesignFit was tasked with designing a contemporary façade solution for a prestigious project in London, UK. The project aimed to create a visually striking and high-performance building envelope by integrating Technal's innovative curtain wall, window, and door systems.

Design and Materials Selection

Technal Curtain Wall System: A bespoke curtain wall system was designed to meet the specific requirements of the project, incorporating a combination of fixed and operable glazing.
High-Performance Glass: Low-E glass with advanced coatings was selected to optimize thermal performance and reduce energy consumption.
Aluminium Profiles: Durable and weather-resistant aluminium profiles were used to create a sleek and minimalist aesthetic.

BIM Modeling with Revit 2017

To ensure accurate design and coordination, a detailed BIM model of the façade was created using Revit 2017. This model allowed for precise visualization, clash detection, and coordination with other building systems.

Fabrication Drawings

To ensure accurate fabrication and installation, detailed fabrication drawings were created for:

Pressed Metal: Precision-engineered pressed metal components were designed to connect the curtain wall elements and provide structural support.
Brackets: Customized brackets were fabricated to secure the curtain wall system to the building structure.

DesignFit's thorough selection of high-performance materials and the strategic use of BIM technology resulted in a façade solution that not only met functional requirements but also significantly enhanced the building's aesthetic appeal and long-term performance.
