Almost Finished Floor Plans



The are my floor plans starting with the main floor, then the second floor, and last is the basement. The top two floors are almost finished but the basement has room to be expanded. I will have to add a few more mechanical rooms once I figure out the sizes of the HVAC systems

Wall Sections

This are wall sections of the main core of my building. They are composed of concrete with brick on the bottom layer and then glass curtain walls the rest of the way up. The red columns provide support for the roof, which holds up the curtain walls.

Floor Plans

Finally I have a rough set of floor plans that are helping me visualize how my building will work. My focus will now shift to getting a neater/ more finalized set of plans and elevations. The next major challenge for me will be how to design and layout the brick work. It needs to reflect the elegance that the curtain wall core has.
