One big challenge was to make the houses suit the requirements for accesiability for disabled people.
Aesthetic:
There are open terraces and big windows facing the sea to create a relaxing and inspirational atmosphere. The arches on the groundfloor is shape to symbolise the front of a ship, and each house has the names of two ship wrecks just outside the coast.
3RD - PREFABRICATED UNIT
A pre-fabricated housing unit made of steel structure.
4TH - OFFICE BUILDING
A big office building with an atrium in the middle topped with a glass pyramid. The initial design was scrutinised and modernized into a more interesting building, by applying a “moveable” façade cladding, cutting a triangular piece of the entrance corner indicated by a red column. As to fireregulations this building was a challenge due to the atrium leading up to large open-office areas, and the large span of the structural members at the roof opening. My individual part was here the glass pyramid spanning over the atrium. Here the construction ended in being steel structural members with alu-frames for holding the glass. The shape of the pyramid was asymmetric due to the height and door reaching one of the sloping sides.
5th SEMESTER = REGISTRATION + RENOVATION/RESTAURATION
As part of a 3 week project I made a registratino of the conditions of the one of the buildings that was use for the 5th semester renovation project. I handled registration and image documentation of facades, external doors + windows and gutters.

The renovation/restauration project I followed in 5th semester was a renaissance building in Sulmona, Italy. The project was based on the registration material handed over from another group. The aim was to redesign the house into comply with existing building-, fireregulations and energy consumption. The house was also to be earthquake secured. As a way of protecting the existing building from future damages we installed a glass envelope around the building, where an evaporating water system helped to cool the building during summers. My main focus area was the restauration of facades incl decorations, balconies, windows, doors and MURANKRE.

6th JOINERY CONTRACT = WINDOWS
This semester was based on an individual trade contract chosen from the 5th semester project. I made the production and tender documentation, incl H&S and site layout on the customised external doors and windows – before switching roles, turning into the contractor. As a contractor I made the bid calculations by using Sigma and an estimated construction time schedule. Part of the semester was also to make the construction site layout and Health- and Safety plan.
For the trade contract my focus ws to keep the materials and way of construction as close to the original methods and materials, hence I had to read on the old ways of construction and use of materials and make work descriptions.
7th – AN INDIVIDUAL SEMESTER PROJECT = A HEALTH- + CULTURE HOUSE
Project material was based on the concept from a non-winning architectural suggestion. The building is based upon the idea of a health-compass lifted in all four corners and twisted to the side. This gives the building uneven sides and angles that was a challenge to fit into a 3M modular system. This anturally also gave challenges as to the structural analysis and use of structural members.
In this project my building component to make production information and tender documentation on, was the roof finish: An extensive roof. The challenge here was not as much the green roof it self as it was the load carrying members of the roof. The roof is sloping in different angles, slopes and directions giving it a “wawy” feel. This was solved by roof elements made of galvanised steel beams with insulation plates internally and between each beams (Scandek – danish company (insert URL)) This helped solve the construction of the roof and gave a good base on which to instal the green roof.
The green consisted of mats mounted upon two types of built-up due to the different sloeps. One was with a drainage felt and one with drainage cups. The levelling between the two was made by small compacted gravel material.
