Architectural Documentation for a Single-Family Residence on a Contoured Site

The project involved developing and updating the proposed architectural layouts for a two-storey single-family residence on a contoured site, based on verified information, available drawings, and project requirements. The site plan and proposed floor plans were prepared and coordinated with the foundation plan to ensure consistency across the drawings. Elevations and sections were developed to clearly represent the building design, dimensions, and spatial arrangement while considering the site existing topography. Detailed drawings and electrical layouts were also prepared according to the project specifications. Special attention was given to accuracy, coordination, and consistency throughout the documentation process. The final deliverable included a comprehensive set of architectural drawings comprising the site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections, foundation plan, construction details, and electrical layout, providing a clear and coordinated representation of the proposed residence.

What Made This Project Complex

The primary complexity of the project was developing floor plans for a two-storey residence on a contoured site while considering the existing terrain and varying ground levels. Establishing appropriate floor levels from the entrance to the upper floor required careful coordination with the site topography. Preparing the foundation plan in alignment with the building layout and site levels was another key challenge. Additionally, coordinating the floor plans, elevations, and sections was essential to ensure consistency in dimensions, levels, and the building integration with the terrain. These aspects required detailed drawing review and coordination to deliver accurate and well-organized architectural documentation.

How Milestone PLM delivered

We began by reviewing the available drawings and site information to understand the topography and design requirements. The floor plans, building levels, and foundation plan were developed in coordination with the contoured site. Elevations, sections, and electrical layouts were then prepared to ensure consistency, accuracy, and clear architectural documentation throughout the project.
