Owner Re-vive Architect BURO II & ARCHI+I General Contractor Besix Engineering Office Establis Construction Period 05/2016 - 05/2018 The project consists of 3 separate buildings for residential and commercial use. The tower building has 19 stories; the other 2 buildings have 3 and 4 above ground level. Underground, these 3 buildings are connected with 2 underground levels. The construction is composed mostly of lightweight floors on isolated concrete columns with a central core and additional stability walls. The foundation is a rigid slab on piles and pile caps. Pre-dimensioning of the floors was done in a 2D model. For the tower building a 3D model was used in further dimensioning as well as for calculating the pile loads, determining column sections and evaluating wind effects on the building. During the execution process, the model was used for determining the reinforcement of the walls and cast in place floors. The 3D model helped us in pre-dimensioning as well as in the execution stage to quickly evaluate the effects of the change in pile positions and other changes in design.
