Corby House – individual property owner project

CORBY HOUSE – INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNER PROJECT

OVERVIEW:

Completion date: 2017
Completion time: 4 weeks
Scale: 1:87
Dimensions: 24” x 18” x 15”
Materials: Russian plywood | Acrylic | Linden tree | Birch veneer

DESCRIPTION:

The Corby house project was carried out for an individual property owner in 2017. The realization of this completely handmade model took 4 weeks.
The model, all of which is fixed, is at a scale of 1:87. This scale made it possible to achieve a rich and precise level of detail, both in terms of the representation of textures in facade and the surroundings. One of the major challenges of this model was the integration of the elements into the slope of the surrounding streets.
Particular attention was given to the representation of the moldings, as well as to the wrought iron elements, and to the integration of the characters.
The entire model was made of basswood on a Russian plywood base on which the landscaping and urban context are expressed through birch veneer. Only the windows were represented by transparent acrylic, to allow the integration of a lighting.

Marché Saint-Charles - Parvis église

Saint-Charles Market – by LineBox Studio in Ottawa

PRESENTATION MODEL FOR LUXURY CONDO PROJECT SAINT-CHARLES MARKET IN OTTAWA.

 

OVERVIEW:

Date of completion : 2017
Time for completion : 10 weeks
Scale 1:100
Dimensions : 36″ x 24″ x 12″
Materials : Linden wood | Acrylic | Russian Birch plywood | Plants | LED Lighting

 

DESCRIPTION:

The Saint-Charles Market Project is located in Ottawa’s Beechwood Village neighborhood. This project is situated on city block occupied by a historic church between Beechwood Avenue, St-Charles Street and Barrette Street. The model was commissioned by LineBox Studio to present the project to citizens and authorities. It was carried out in 2017 and its execution lasted about 10 weeks. The overall dimensions of the model are 36 x 24 inches for a height of 12 inches.

First, the model is at a scale of 1: 100. This scale allows to represent the church that occupies the center of the site with its architectural details such as the steeples. The base of the model was made of Russian birch plywood covered with a maple plating to identify the city block on which the project is implemented. For the building, linden wood was used to designate all cladding materials. Its texture has been worked to demonstrate the variations in the facade of the new projected building. This made it possible to standardize the aesthetics of the two buildings present on the site: the existing church and the new building with condos and thus support the architectural concept of a unified development where the new and the old occupy an equal place.

The glazing of the model was made of acrylic, because an LED lighting system was incorporated into the base of the model to illuminate it from below. Then trees, furniture and people add life throughout the project and help to communicate the project scale. Finally, the model is covered with an acrylic protection case and was delivered directly in Ottawa by Maquette.ca.

Point Zéro – Real Estate Project in Downtown Montreal

PRESENTATION MODEL FOR THE PROJECT OF A NEW POINT-ZÉRO TOWER IN MONTREAL’S DOWNTOWN AREA.

 

OVERVIEW:

Date of completion : 2012
Time for completion : 3 to 4 weeks
Scale 1 :100
Dimensions : 24″ x 10″ x 38″
Materials : Linden wood | Acrylic | Russian Birch plywood

 

DESCRIPTION:

This model present the first iteration of the Point-Zéro tower project in Montreal. It is located in the downtown area at the corner of Bleury and René-Lévesque streets. This building dedicated to luxury condos and hotel was composed of an existing hotel on top of which was added an almond shaped tower. Karl Fischer Architect ordered this model in order to present the project’s development to Point-Zéro. The model was made in 2012 and its fabrication lasted between 8 to 10 weeks. Its overall dimensions are 20 x 10 inches for an overall height of 38 inches.

First, the model, all elements of which are fixed, is at a scale of 1:100. This scale makes it possible to precisely visualize how the the tower will establish it sell over the existing building. Despite the possibility of having a significant amount of detail at the chosen scale, this model is fairly basic and rather presents the essence of the project in its work of volumetry and composition of facades.

The main materials chosen for this model are molded acrylic which represents the glazed portions of the project and wood. Also, the acrylic was sandblasted to obstruct the view of the inside of the model that was not made in detail. The wood is presented gross and illustrates in a simplified way the structure and the envelope of the project as well as the neighboring building. In addition, the base has been made of a massive linden wood block and illustrates the topographic context in which the project is implemented.

Finally, the model is protected by a transparent acrylic case.

Presentation model for Medicity- Front view

Medicity – Medical Institute in Gurgaon, India

PRESENTATION MODEL FOR MEDICITY, A NEW INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES AND INTEGRATED HOLISTIC THERAPY IN GURGAON IN INDIA.

 

OVERVIEW:

Date of completion : 2007-2008
Time for completion : 12-16 weeks
Scale 1 :200
Dimensions : 40″ x 48″x 24″
Materials : Linden Wood | Acrylic | Russian Birch Plywood | Plants  | LED Lighting

 

DESCRIPTION:

The Medicity model, commissioned by Provencher Roy and Arcop Architecture Inc., was to be on display during the project’s presentation. It was designed between 2007 and 2008 and its execution lasted between 12 to 16 weeks. The model’s overall dimensions are approximately 40 x 48 inches for an approximate height of 24 inches.

The model, of which all elements are fixed, is at a scale of 1:200. This scale allows to depict the entire real estate development with a certain amount of detail. First, the model was made in linden wood, because it is a light, strong and malleable wood essence. It was worked in thirty-second to one-quarter inch plates and assembled to represent the divisions between the pieces and to give an idea of the transparency of the building envelope.Then, clear acrylic was used to make the mainly glazed portions of the envelope.

The base of the model was made by staking linden slabs to represent the topographic work of the exterior layout which was also emphasized by the addition of plants and dried flowers representing the landscaping of the site. Finally, the buildings are illuminated from below thanks to a LED lighting system integrated at the base.

The monochromatic aspect of this project is consistent with the architect’s desire to design the building with a rhythm expressed both by the refined but complex form of the volumes and the use of pergolas and shutters not only to meet practical considerations such as sunlight and high temperatures which are important architectural considerations in India, but also punctuate and distinguish the various adjacent programs.

Bishop Court – Transformation of a patrimonial building by Atelier-S

PRESENTATION MODEL FOR A TRANSFORMATION OF THE PATRIMONIAL BUILDING BISHOP COURT IN MONTREAL BY ATELIER-S.

OVERVIEW:

Date of completion : 2015
Time for completion : 4 to 6 weeks
Scale 1 :87
Dimensions : 24″ x 24″ x 8″
Materials : Linden wood | Styrene | Acrylic | Russian Birch plywood | Plants | LED Lighting

 

DESCRIPTION:

Bishop Court is a transformation project of a patrimonial building in downtown Montreal. It is located in the area of the Old Port, at the corner of Saint-Paul West and Richard. The model was ordered by architecture firm Atelier-S to present the integration of the new lateral facade on Richard street with the overall building. The model was made in 2015 and its conception lasted for 4 to 6 weeks. Its approximate dimensions are 24 x 24 inches for a general height of 8 inches.

First, the model, of which all elements are fixed, is at a scale of 1 :87. This scale allows a good level of detail like the texture of the brick siding that make up most of the building’s facades as well as the moldings in masonry. Two materials have primarily been used to make this model. Wood is present in two forms: the base was made with Russian birch plywood topped with maple veneering to represent sidewalks.

Furthermore, linden wood was used to make the buildings. For the brick facades, the wood was then worked to imitate the chiseled aspect of the bricks and masonry ornaments. Two types of plastic were also used: the styrene, painted black made the new window frames for the facade on Richard street, where as acrylic was used to represent the glazing of all the windows.

The landscaping and the urban context are expressed on the base thanks to the addition of furniture, characters and plants. It also includes an integrated LED lighting system that illuminates the building from below. Finally the model is protected by an acrylic case.
