Base Template Model

This model acts as the general structure of the final building as I wanted to visualise how the building would look in 3d. It is missing the pavilion on the Rooftop Garden which I will add onto more sophisticated models.

Varying Proportions roughly displays the design features I need to add to make the building more interesting. The overall proportion of the template is what I will aim to achieve as it is not as overbearingly tall as the sketches are.

Sketch Up

After employing the base template model as a reference, I achieved success in creating a comprehensive SketchUp model. The sketches presented on this page aim to highlight the complete structure of the building, showcasing details regarding colours and materials. To enhance its visual appeal, I used garden spaces and introduced interesting design elements that helped create a captivating aesthetic. The exterior has hanging cylinders that connect the various floors and providing structural support to the second floor.

I decided to stick with this triple floor cylinder design due to how it sways away from regular rectangular shaped buildings. It contains two separate entrances that open through either side of the building. As it will be placed in the middle of a roundabout, I focused on making the building more of an attraction hence the attention towards the exterior.
