The firm\u2019s Shane Byrne reports that their aim, as well as the aim of the client and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/local-authorities-housebuilding\/58983\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">local authorities<\/a>, was to create an inviting and appealing facility to serve as a best-practice exemplar for similar developments throughout the county.<\/p>\n<p>The Weir\u2019s story is one of example-setting, intelligent design which accounts for the unusual conditions in Tallaght \u2014 conditions which, without a doubt, can complicate design thinking. To the north sits Tallaght Stadium and a densely arranged urban presence and to the south are a low-scale suburbia, a park, and the visage of picturesque Dublin Mountains. The striking disparity between the Weir\u2019s surroundings led Sean Harrington Architects to consider how to develop a housing complex that feels like a natural mediator between these seemingly at-odds conditions.<\/p>\n<h3>Designing the Weir<\/h3>\n<p>The scheme is arranged around a series of south-facing courtyards, providing open space for the residents to enjoy suburbia despite the bustling north. The stadium\u2019s northern presence offered a good starting point \u2014 the architects wanted a \u201cstrong edge,\u201d Shane said, to minimise exposure for the elderly community. The buildings are set back from this edge to reduce noise disruptions. The northern entrances are defined by a canopy shelter, and each entrance sits close to parking space and dedicated bin storage. The southern boundary varies in height and alignment, leading to an open interface with the external park.<\/p>\n<p>Within the village, the 81 dwellings \u2014 which exist in small clusters \u2014 are organised along an east-to-west street. The street fosters a larger sense of community while also allowing smaller communities for the residents to identify with.<\/p>\n<p>As a connected whole, these design elements contribute to a high-quality living environment, one that feels natural despite the varying conditions surrounding it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-89559 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Collaborative-bim-1-1024x755.jpg\" alt=\"Collaborative BIM\" width=\"696\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Collaborative-bim-1-1024x755.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Collaborative-bim-1-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Collaborative-bim-1-768x566.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Collaborative-bim-1-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Collaborative-bim-1-696x513.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Collaborative-bim-1-1068x787.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Collaborative-bim-1-570x420.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Collaborative-bim-1-610x450.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Collaborative-bim-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>An exercise in collaborative BIM<\/h3>\n<p>Sean Harrington Architects looked to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/stakeholders\/vectorworks-inc-design-and-bim-software-provider\/85625\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BIM<\/a> to organise the project, reduce file sizes, and effectively collaborate internally and externally.<\/p>\n<p>To Shane, a BIM model is the \u201cdigital description of every aspect of the built asset.\u201d To use it, the firm took advantage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vectorworks.net\/en-GB\/architect?utm_campaign=awareness&amp;utm_medium=pbctoday&amp;utm_source=intext&amp;utm_content=casestudyarchitectpage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vectorworks<\/a>\u2019 Project Sharing capabilities, engaging in an open exchange of data through BIM\u2019s common denominator, IFC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recognise the potential of BIM to optimise the delivery of our design services, improving outcomes and realising added value for our clients,\u201d Shane said. \u201cWe use it as a tool for carrying out analysis, simulation, and communication of project information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that BIM did help reduce file sizes; however, he remains aware of the ways they could\u2019ve made files even smaller.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe created a large number of viewports in our main building model file of repeating elements, which resulted in generating a complex road map for the drawing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn retrospect, perhaps it would\u2019ve been simpler if we had created fewer viewports, used more symbols for apartment layouts, or drawn more repeating elements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The most rewarding aspect of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/bim-and-ai-a-marriage-of-two-minds\/89347\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">collaborative BIM<\/a> for Sean Harrington Architects was the iterative design approach it enabled.

When she\u2019s not working hard on cranking out first-class content for our online viewers to enjoy, she\u2019s keeping our social media lively and up to date\u2026 you could call her a social media guru? We\u2019re sure she\u2019d like that. With a BA in English and Journalism, Steph isn\u2019t fazed by attention to detail; on the contrary, she enjoys getting her teeth into a good article. In her downtime Steph loves nothing more than getting together with friends to enjoy a few (several) gin and tonics. Think you\u2019ve got some content Steph would be interested in?
