Thought I’d sneak this one in while no-one was looking.
Barn Conversion : Gower : Swansea.
This is the first real job I did with Revit circa 2001
(started in Revit 3.1 on its first release in the UK
also My first ever job with CAD & my first experience of 3-D Software.)
The collage shows before, proposed, and as-built images.
Because of the file limit I enclose a Zip file of the collage which should be slightly easier to read.
The site is in Gower, Swansea (a sensitive area & designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) The Local Planners were fairly restrictive on this project & would only allow an entrance hall as an extension. (We originally wanted to add a glazed conservatory link at the corner junction of the barns but this was refused at the time). All accommodation had to be fitted into the existing shell. Inserting new floor joists into the masonry would have caused too much disruption to the existing stonework so an internal frame was erected inside the existing masonry walls & hefty sized timbers were used.
To save costs European Red was specified - the original intention was to use oak but was way too expensive.
(For the timber nuts here Joists were then dovetailed into cross beams to avoid joist hangers. We could have used specialised semi concealed hangers but this would give a more mechanical look and it also proved more expensive than the simpler dovetail)
