One of the most dramatic features of this space was a section of floor-to-ceiling glazing halfway along the room. A decision needed to be made on how to divide the space and which nursery room would benefit from the glazing. LSI\u2019s solution was to introduce an angled wall to cross the space and link the two rooms while also introducing an element of play within the new nursery space.<\/p>\n<p>A circular window in the nursery filters light from the glazing from the inner space into the exterior space. Another window at a lower, \u201cchild height\u201d also means children can peek through into the next room to see what\u2019s going on in there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the help of Archicad, we could easily explain to the client how the designs would work three-dimensionally. In addition to the floor-to-ceiling glazing and angled wall, there are a number of vaulted roofs in the property. These spaces are incredibly difficult to see on a 2D floorplan and Archicad meant that the client and parents of nursery children could immediately see and appreciate the designs,\u201d continues Pedley.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-121532 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSI-Architects-YMCACommunityHub3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSI-Architects-YMCACommunityHub3.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSI-Architects-YMCACommunityHub3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSI-Architects-YMCACommunityHub3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSI-Architects-YMCACommunityHub3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSI-Architects-YMCACommunityHub3-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSI-Architects-YMCACommunityHub3-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSI-Architects-YMCACommunityHub3-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/LSI-Architects-YMCACommunityHub3-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Visuals produced from Archicad aided planning permission and funding<\/h3>\n<p>Working with images, sketches and 3D visualisations, LSI tailored the design to suit the client\u2019s branding aspirations and created marketing material to promote the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Planning permission was required and visuals produced from the Archicad model were important not only for the planning submission but to aid the fundraising scheme for the project and provide prospective parents with an idea of the spaces that would be created.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe renovation tool within Archicad was very useful for communicating the designs to the planning team. For example, certain openings such as the entrance hall were changing and we were able to demonstrate the changes by showing the original and then the new design in the 3D model,\u201d continues Pedley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing the model in this way also helped to secure donations for the project and allowed prospective parents to navigate the building before committing to a place at the nursery.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The scheduling functionality within Archicad allowed for easy contractor collaboration<\/h3>\n<p>LSI used the scheduling functionality within Archicad to list out all the elements of the scheme for the contractor.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, when ordering the bespoke furniture, the use of the 3D model meant that the contractor could easily pass on the correct details to the manufacturer to get accurate pricing, and the fabricators delivered exactly what the team was expecting.<\/p>\n<p>During the construction stage of the project, LSI was involved in inspecting the works as they were undertaken, responding to contractor queries and checking subcontractor information.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout the project, we used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/stakeholders\/graphisoft-leader-in-bim-technologies\/104916\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Graphisoft\u2019s BIMCloud<\/a> to work fluidly and seamlessly as a team. This approach to internal collaboration is fundamental to how we operate on all our projects,\u201d explains Pedley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe end result is testament to the collaborative effort between the client, the design team and the contractor, Cocksedge, who produced work onsite of a very high quality.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Renovating the existing building provided a sustainable solution<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cUltimately, the reuse of an existing building proves that the project has been achieved in a way that is inherently sustainable. The renovation has breathed new life into a real community asset which was otherwise in a very poor condition,\u201d concludes Pedley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoreover, the build needed to be delivered as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible and with the help of Archicad and designing in 3D from the outset, both time and cost overheads were kept to a minimum throughout.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graphisoft UK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/graphisoft.com\/uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
