Operational Impact
The solution provided by Weatherhead Architecture resulted in a design that successfully integrated with the surrounding nature park, providing a series of spaces for various activities. The design was pedestrian and child-friendly, with parking tucked away under the building footprint to maintain a pedestrian central space. The use of Archicad and Artlantis in the design process allowed for the creation of a fully working BIM model that produced informative drawings and realistic visualizations. This approach minimized abortive work and eliminated the need for secondary modeling software. The design was well-received and the Butterfly Square project is due to start on site in 2016. | |
