The team used lidar scanning for critical areas before importing them into the Archicad model as point clouds to ensure accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>The disused warehouse building features many complex structural elements including piled foundations, both an original and a new lift shaft, a new roof which needed to run along existing gutter lines and a flat roof where the plant and machinery is housed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_144881\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-144881\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-144881 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GPS-100_Doherty-Architects-7-credit-Donal-McCann-Photography-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GPS-100_Doherty-Architects-7-credit-Donal-McCann-Photography-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GPS-100_Doherty-Architects-7-credit-Donal-McCann-Photography-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GPS-100_Doherty-Architects-7-credit-Donal-McCann-Photography-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GPS-100_Doherty-Architects-7-credit-Donal-McCann-Photography-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GPS-100_Doherty-Architects-7-credit-Donal-McCann-Photography-1-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GPS-100_Doherty-Architects-7-credit-Donal-McCann-Photography-1-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GPS-100_Doherty-Architects-7-credit-Donal-McCann-Photography-1-1068x1424.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GPS-100_Doherty-Architects-7-credit-Donal-McCann-Photography-1-1920x2560.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GPS-100_Doherty-Architects-7-credit-Donal-McCann-Photography-1-610x813.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GPS-100_Doherty-Architects-7-credit-Donal-McCann-Photography-1-scaled.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-144881\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9Donal McCann Photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The extension at the front of the building was also structurally complex, with cantilevers spanning on to the existing steelwork. The architects used existing structures where possible to save costs and worked closely with the structural engineers to ensure that the old and new elements fitted together. Doherty\u2019s imported information via IFC into the Archicad model from the steel fabricators and the mechanical and electrical engineers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to keep the existing staircases, which helped with providing value for money,\u201d explains Graeme Skelly, associate director at Doherty Architects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn order to do this, we needed to get the exact heights and levels modelled precisely to link to the existing concrete floors upstairs. Archicad was invaluable in enabling us to do this accurately.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Communicating with 3D<\/h3>\n<p>With three separate charities and Belfast City Council acting as client representative, communicating ideas could have been time-consuming and complex.<\/p>\n<p>However, with <a href=\"https:\/\/graphisoft.com\/solutions\/bimx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Graphisoft\u2019s visualisation tool BIMx<\/a> together with renders created in Twinmotion, the team was able to easily share ideas and gather feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Dohertys sent the BIMx model to each client so they could see how the building would work and could provide input and comment. This enabled more collaboration and ensured that everyone was happy with the design.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith four different clients, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/bim-news\/bringing-an-extension-visualisation-at-a-period-property-to-life-with-bimx-and-archicad\/136364\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BIMx was invaluable<\/a> for communicating ideas and getting feedback on the designs. We also used the Archicad \u2013 Twinmotion link to create realistic renders directly from the Archicad model.\u201d says Graeme.<\/p>\n<p>Doherty used Archicad\u2019s accommodation schedule to make sure that each organisation\u2019s private office space was the correct ratio of square footage. This was important as the three tenants jointly share the running costs.<\/p>\n<p>Graeme continues: \u201cThe contractors also loved BIMx and used it together with the 2D construction package while on site. In addition, as the interior d\u00e9cor featured multiple colours, the decorator used BIMx to see exactly which colour should be used for each wall. This was easy to use, ensured accuracy and speeded up the process.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>A sustainability story<\/h3>\n<p>The design team was able to install EV charging points and solar panels on the sawtooth roof, as the client secured additional funding for sustainable features.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdding the solar panels was very complex due to their weight and we worked with the structural engineers to do the necessary calculations,\u201d explains Graeme.<\/p>\n<p>There was no need for radiators on the ground floor due to underfloor heating, and the building is heated and cooled passively whenever possible. The building is well insulated and since occupation has been<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/construction-software-news\/collaborative-nature-of-archicad-model-brings-city-campus-to-life\/139278\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> performing better than anticipated<\/a>. This has enabled the amount of heating required and electricity usage to be greatly reduced.<\/p>\n<p>Completed on time and on budget, the project delivered a modern, bright, open plan office accommodation and meeting space for staff and volunteers on the first floor.<\/p>\n<p>But first and foremost, a building that young people felt was theirs.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Please note that this is a
