My role: Creative sketches and all documentation in Autodesk Revit

Context: Complex challenging site within existing schools

team: Joseph O’Brien, Elaine Dinan, Andrada Tarta, Chris Ambrose

From first concept sketches into Revit

Complex site required creative solutions to achieve a beneficial solution for users – pupils and teachers. The aim of the design was to create a main square between the historic 18th century building and the new building and to create the most advantageous and natural connection between the old and the new. The benefit of the design is an amphitheatre, the continuity of rooms to the outdoor spaces and the interconnectivity of all height levels parecely with a 30 m difference in height.
