Final Drawings

Section 07: Final Drawings

Section 07: Summary

This section contains some of my final drawings including renders, plans, sections, isometrics, and ergonomic studies. I tried to get a balance between exploring the interior and exterior of my building. As the building is relatively small I tried to show as many different parts of the building as possible. The drawings also showcase how the branch has been adapted for Covid-19 and the passive design principals within the building. When making the images I wanted to showcase the atmosphere within the building so that any non-architect viewers would be able to understand what the space would feel like. A variety of drawing techniques was also utilized to show the building from several angles, scales, and detail levels.

Sections

This section cuts through the team leaders office, primary hallway, and the southern deck

This section cuts through the living room, southern deck, and the northern deck. It showcases the building’s relationship with the landscape

Site Isometric

Key Takeaways

• The public program is located off Matterhorn Drive to engage the primary street frontage • The building utilizes three different roof forms as each part of the branch has different requirements • The branch responds to the landscape by extending the internal living spaces outside. • These outdoor decks provide opportunities for outdoor dining and training sessions – this is significant as the spread of covid-19 is reduced outdoors. • The landscape directly off the street is transformed into a public program which contains outdoor co-working tables for the community.

Mental Health Clinic

This isometric shows the mental health clinic which includes a small waiting room and a consultation space. The consultation space is located discretely away from the public outdoor space to create privacy and confidentiality. In addition to providing post-pandemic support for paramedics and their families, the clinic can also be extended to the wider community – thus increasing community engagement.

Study Ergonomic

Key Takeaways

• This ergonomic shows how the study is laid out to allow for social distancing • A timber and plexiglass screen separates each desk to mitigate the effects of Covid • The corridor is wide to allow users to pass through the space safely • As this space utilizes hot desks, easy to clean surfaces and materials are installed. • The timber structure is also visible

Rest Room Ergonomic

Key Takeaways

• At the end of the hallway there is a window seat which functions as a quiet reading nook. • Louvers are installed above the door to allow for cross ventilation • The clerestory windows helps aid in stack ventilation • Planter boxes are placed above the windows to function as shading devices • The building features a continuous line of high-performance insulation to keep the branch a comfortable temperature year round. • The building features a fully timber frame to reduce embodied energy.

Dining area Ergonomic

Key Takeaways

• The seating in the dining area enforces 1.5 metres between each person. • Strategic seating locations and timber screens encourage paramedics to practice social distancing. • The kitchen has a view over the southern landscape • The internal walls do not contain acoustic insulation as the space is only adjacent to a corridor • The half wall with a planter ontop helps to separate the corridor from the dining area
