Integrating our design and engineering on a shared platform, allows us to design to much tighter tolerances and to build within tighter timelines. And because we don’t just produce designs but actual shop and fabrication drawings from our digital model, our engineered elements precisely fit the structure and the design intent.
Integrating our civil engineering and design processes creates a virtual link between the building design and the site. It allows us to analyse the effects of site-specific features that create intelligent, sustainable solutions
Benefit: enables energy usage modelling and analysis for more efficient and sustainable buildings.
Integrated structural engineering allows our design team to seamlessly weave together the elements of the superstructure using a
shared design platform.
Benefit: transition from design to fabrication creates efficiencies, ensures clarity of vision. and enhances quality control.
Tighter integration of your building’s internal electrical and mechanical systems with structural components allows us to dramatically reduce installation conflicts throughout the design process.
Benefit: enhances the construction process and reduces the risk of cost overruns. It maximizes energy efficiency and sustainability.
Intelligent simulation, using our DeepDesign methodology, allows us to precisely model a variety of factors related to sustainability, thermal gain and loss, and energy efficiency across the entire building life cycle.
Benefit: Maximized energy efficiency and a stronger confluence between aesthetic and pragmatic considerations.
BY MIKE VLASVELD MARCH 8, 2017 11:30AM @MikeVlasveld Construction is well underway at the Optimist Community Centre on Ypres Ave. in Windsor, where a new $2.5-million library branch is being built. Mayor Drew Dilkens says it’s part of $8-million the City of Windsor is spending on libraries this year. “Certainly Optimist [Public Library] is a big…

Delving deeper into performance over time At the core of our Master Builder model (see our previous blog article) lies extraordinarily powerful design technology that allows us to analyse building designs in previously unimaginable ways. Long before the first shovelful of earth is turned at the job site, we can now model virtually every aspect…
Having built Architecttura into a successful architectural & engineering firm over the last 26 years, Dan & Carmen realized a few things along the way. For every goal that was met, there was a strong team supporting them. And in this regard, they have been truly blessed. Developing relationships, fostering friendships came naturally because at…
