Falconhoven L-Block residential complex

Together with Caruso St John Architects, we are building a residential complex in the centre of Antwerp.
  • Architect: TM Bureau Bouwtechniek - Caruso St John Architects

  • Client: Construction & Investment Partners

  • Surface: 11.400 m²

  • Timing: 2015 - 2020

  • Status: Executed

  • Photographer: Sarah Blee

  • Advisors: Establis (stability), Ingenium (techniques), Venac (acoustics), Steto (safety coordinator), Bopro (Breeam), BB (cost expert)

At Residence Falconhoven, the open spaces in the façade are particularly striking, with their southern, southeastern orientation. Moreover, the columns in the façade are not square as usual, but pentagonal. The columns give the façade a lighter touch and an overall recognisable aesthetic.

Breeam

When designing Residentie Falconhoven, the ambitions to achieve an environmentally friendly and sustainable end result were prioritised. It was decided to pursue the rating 'Outstanding' within the BREEAM certification.

BIM

For the Falconhoven project, we drew the BIM discipline model Architecture and Stability.

The Stability discipline model was modelled based on the information from the stability engineer involved and was used as a geometrical underlay for the Architecture discipline model.

The different Techniques sub-models (HVAC, plumbing and electrical) were modelled by Ingenium and were used together with the Stability and Architecture model to perform accurate coordination between the different disciplines.

14,056 elements were automatically measured in the BIM model.

As executive architects, we help the designing architects with all technical and financial issues so that they can fully focus on the design. We also monitor the implementation and ensure that the objectives and plan are always crystal clear for all partners, so that together we can realise our dreams.
