Bachelor project - Habitat;
The 7th semester project was a multi-storey building with 5 levels and 4 fire categories.
The basement hosts 4 technical rooms, a car park, a gym, a fire safe room and storage facilities for the upper apartments.
The basement is tanked-up due to the fact that the building is designed next to other building.
A round elevator similar with Visilift, connects the basement floor with the ground floor and other elevator connects the ground floor with the upper floors.
The ground floor has commercial usage and the 1st and 2nd floor are residential.
The roof terrace is shared and all floors besides the 2nd floor is accessible for disabled people.
The glass dome on the roof terrace is scoped to refract the sun light during the winter solstice perpendicular on the atrium floor (gym ceiling) which is made of borosilicate glass for fire, architectural and structural reasons.
The structural design is defined by steal beams, columns and C profiles for the floors.

Interior render from the atrium floor in front of the stairs
The 22 of December (winter solstice) is the shortest day of the year meaning that the sun cannot go to a sharper angle compared with the Earth. Due to the Odense latitude, the smallest angle between the Sun and the Earth is 34 degrees. Having the southeast glass wall tilted at an angle of 56 degrees creates a sharp 90 degree angle with the atrium floor. On winter solstice, the sun lights perpendicular on the atrium floor. In the rest of the year, after the light enters in the atrium, is being refracted by the glazing walls which separates the hallways from the 1st and 2nd floor from the atrium. The floor of the atrium which is the ceiling of the gym is made of borosilicate glass in order to respect the danish fire regulations and to allow people circulation on it. The tilted glas panels should have in their component a metamaterial which allows the refraction of light to such a sharp angle. Please see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamaterial for more details.

This document contains: -Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning layout. The system is defined as HSRS - HVAC Smart Relay Switch which is better than windows/ doors sensors. The ventilation ducts contains dampers which are devices that shuts down the ventilation when windows and doors violates the normal condition of closed. - Mechanical Electrical and Plumbing layout. The building incorporates a rain water recycling system which is used for toilets and laundry. - estimations of the sewer pipes and ventilation ducts.

This document contains: - the fire documentation - the site drawing for the fire brigade - the floor plans and sections regarding the wall types and the minutes which they should withstand in fire. Due to the fact that most of the external walls are designed on the property plot line, they should withstand 120 minutes in fire.

The construction site plan The budget includes the fees demanded by authorities for renting a part of the parking area adjoining the park. There shall be a container used only for plaster boards near the building, due to the big amount needed to fire proof most of the external walls 120 minutes.
