Mixed Use Building Design Over a Rail Yard

Industry : Architecture Design Location : Australia

The challenges

• The project involved development of facility on an existing rail yard spread across 210 million sq. ft.
• Design and 3D modeling for the facility to allow mixed used spaces for residence, office, mall, and hotel made it challenging.
• The integration with an existing rail yard facility made this project complex and one of its kinds.

Technology & software used

• AutoCAD, Revit & 3ds Max

The solution we delivered

• The project commenced with a detailed survey and understanding of the available space and the rail yard.
• Based on the requirement, we decided to use AutoCAD, Revit, and 3D Max software to design and develop 3D models and visualizations.
• The space above the existing rail track was designed to include residential units, office space, mall and hotels.
• Easy access points to these facilities were also designed and 3D models were developed with all the essential details.
• The models were rendered for presentation and client.

Outcome & benefits

• The project was completed within the proposed timeline and the client requirement was duly fulfilled.
• Complete handover of well rendered 3D models and visualization made it easy to communicate design and get further approvals easily.
• The result was that process of taking the project onsite fastened up and further it was completed on time, helping our clients gain good will and recognition in the industry.
