PROJECT

Two-and-a-half-storey family house with a basement on Sundgårdsvej 95, Horsens

​

THE IDEA

Thinking about family house I always come to a concept of functionality and simple aesthetic in low-maintenance and affordable envelope. The idea behind our house was to create a pleasurable feeling of open space, lightness, comfort and high-quality indoor climate. Big windows became the source of natural heating and allowed the owners to admire picturesque surroundings. Natural materials, prefabrication and modular design helped us achieve sustainable and qualitative living.

EXECUTION

Working in Revit for the first time allowed me to develop a detailed and informative drawings and get a clue about the ICT specifications in the field. It was also a great communication tool and working on the same building in Revit helped my group coordinate the project work and ICT manual to standardize all documents which we elaborated. Moreover, this semester was the first when I got familiar with Danish market and used provided products in the project and enjoyed it a lot. Since then I love to study the market and find the most advantageous, sustainable and modern solutions.

THE OUTCOME

Second semester has become crucial in my specification as a student and future constructing architect. This semester I learned Revit and many technical tools, got understanding how to solve tasks in a more professional and efficient way.

Thankfully to this project, I learned how to work with sandwich elements, prefabricated concrete, heavy and lightweight floor partitions, balconies and chimneys. I loved to explore ways of doing things in 3D, solving problems in software rather than on paper. This includes details of components and building services especially. More complicated tasks always force to go beyond the borders and struggle with finding alternative solutions, which was a great part of second semester.
