Owner DCA nv Architect m² architecten bvba General Contractor DCA nv Engineering Office Studie10 Ingenieursbureau bvba Construction Period 01/2015 - 01/2016 The project is situated on Tabaksvest in the city of Antwerp. On the site several existing buildings were demolished to make space for a new residential building containing 35 apartments and 3 commercial stores spread over 7 floor levels. A two-level parking basement provides 33 parking spaces. Due to the fact that the building is situated in between other existing buildings, the basement design was particularly complex. SCIA Engineer was used to calculate all the structural elements (floor slabs, concrete and steel beams, concrete walls and columns and the foundation). The entire building was then modelled in 3D using Allplan. This design process exposed conflicts between architectural and structural design early in the project. After making the necessary adaptations to both structure and architecture the rebar reinforcements were modelled using Allplan’s Engineering module. As a result of the sloped floor slabs and the more complex geometry of the basement we were dependant on an effective CAD program to create a correct set of plans and rebar documents. Allplan Engineering fulfilled this requirement. Studie10 ingenieursbureau bvba
