Floor Plans

Developing my floor plans was a pretty smooth process once I figured out the first floor plan. While doing this project in revit I decided to make the first two floors and the tenth floor completely different, and floors 3-9 the same. In revit it is easy to make a single floor plan, and turn it into a group, and then you can copy the group to each floor level. Using revit in this way allows you to make changes to just one of the floors, and it will change any other of the floors in that group (floors 3-9 in this case). Here are some examples of the different types of floor plans.

This image shows the first floor plan with the column grid lines. I used my massing model to create the floor plan shape, and modified it to get the square footage that was necessary to get the required number of condo's. I found that creating separate circulation areas for each condo entrance, and  the amenity spaces. 

The 5th floor that is shown here is the floor plans for the center tower for floors 3-9. This consists of (4) three bedroom units, each with 2 bathrooms. Since this only shows the layout for the center building I have added the entire condo space's floor plans for the 3-9 floors below.

 This plan shows a floor plan layout for all three towers. As you can see, the two side buildings have a floor plan with the corridors in the center, and the center tower with the corridor to the south. I think this will help to keep people from separate buildings to have a view into another adjacent condo rooms. The 2 side buildings are just an example of what a floor plan could look like for this space, and it is not set in stone, since we only had to design one of our towers. 

This is the 10th floor, or Penthouse level. These two condos contain only (2) 4 bedroom units, and provide the largest space as well as the best views to the city of Cincinnati.

The above plan is an enlarged view of a two bedroom unit.

Above is an example of a 3 bedroom unit.

The image above is an enlarged version of the penthouse on the 10th floor. You can find interior renderings for this plan in the future post on interior renderings.
