Is it possible to use BIM software for architectural design when dealing with renovations and re-modellings of a structure? Let’s take a look at the Dulwich Residence case study completely reproduced with Edificius<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The owners of ‘Dulwich Residence<\/strong>‘, a historic home of the 1920s, turned to the naturehumaine architecture design<\/a><\/strong> studio with the intent to reorganize and expand the available spaces.
\nAfter a total re-think of the entire building, Dulwich Residence, located on a large plot of land towards the south coast of Montreal, was re-designed according to the owner’s requirements:
\nContemporary interiors, in harmony with the existing living spaces and a strong emphasis of characteristic brick walls and used as a historic reference for the new building.<\/p>\n

The existing home was therefore reorganized to meet the customers demands for the growing family.
\nThe previous layout of Dulwich Residence was based on a different configuration of spaces with the entrance hall and the living room at ground floor and the children’s area located at second floor. The new project was based on the idea of having two volumes: the existing volume mainly composed of bricks which was elegantly connected to the new additional structure. This architectural choice is highlighted on the front facade by a vertical strip of transparent glass.<\/p>\n

Double height volumes keep the warm atmosphere of the house and connect the common ground floor areas with more the reserved spaces at second floor.<\/p>\n
