Revit Office Design

Overview of Office

This is my first design with the use of Revit. This project was a combination between my Interior Building Systems and 3D Digital Modeling and Management classes. The objective for the Building Systems class was to apply the concepts of natural daylight in combination with application of artificial lights.  The office was to include 10 workstations, a kitchen/ break room, and a conference room. The first design I developed was very basic, I was still learning the program, but after a school visit from Steelcase, I was introduce to new ways of designing an office space for the evolving work place. Steelcase introduced new concepts how people are not always working at their desks, and being more mobile in their work places. Therefore the design of the space shall accommodate the different types of work situations that take place. There is the original work stations and a conference room, but the other spaces in the office shall be open to encourage collaboration.Working with Steelcase furniture systems, I learned how to navigate the manufacturers' website to find products to use.

This design also required a small amount of programming to determine the required amount of artifical lights as well as natural light to control the amount of light inn the space.
