This group project aims to design a wine cellar addition to a residential home for a fictional client as a way to develop a deeper understanding of the order of operations in the construction process. This particular project was also for a construction documents course and exhibited the knowledge learned throughout the semester.
Order of Operations
The rendered axonometric image below displays the wine cellar addition space when all the wall, millwork, and furniture systems are put together. Exploded, rendered axonometric diagrams are also shown and labeled to explain the systems that go into the walls, millwork, and furniture as well as portrays the order in which they are installed.
Construction Document Set
Shown below are orthographic elevation and floor plan drawings of the wine cellar addition the group designed. All the orthographic plan, elevation, section, and detail drawings were organized according to sheet type. Collaboration among group members was key to the success of this project.
For the construction document set, each group member chose a specific detail within the space to cartoon, model, and document. One of the details chosen for this project and is shown below is a curved, reinforced brick wall. A lot of research was done to best understand each element that makes up this wall and what construction drawings were needed for this detail.
Once everyone in the group consolidated all their drawings and individual models, the material selection process for the space and its detail elements began. All of the materials that were selected aimed to evoke the sophisticated ambiance of a wine cellar. Achieving this ambiance was successful in the space with the use of dark, warm color palette reminiscent of red wine, wood cabinetry and flooring, brick walls, and furniture constructed out of wine barrels.
