Why Choose a Mullion/Transom Curtain Wall? Looking to bring more light into your building, enjoy better views, or achieve a modern look? Mullion/transom facades are a great choice. While commonly used in public and commercial buildings, these facades are increasingly popular in private homes, especially those in natural settings, for their seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Types of Mullion/Transom Facades: - Aluminum: Most common, with options for 50mm, 60mm, and even 35mm units for clearer views. Depths vary from 50mm to 250mm based on static calculations. - Steel: Ideal for larger spans when aluminium isn’t sufficient. - Custom with Add-on construction: Design your own mullions and transoms for unique aesthetic and structural needs. - Timber with Add-on construction: Adds warmth and a natural touch. - Glass with Add-on construction: For complete transparency. These facades allow for easy integration of doors and windows without extra substructures. External visual appearance, choose from: pressure plates, decorative cover caps, or structural glazing for sleek silicone joints. Interested in learning more or need façade drawings? Contact us!

Exciting developments abound in our latest construction update as we witness remarkable strides across both stages of our Keystone project. A pivotal moment occurred in Stage 4 with the removal of scaffolding, revealing the stunning architectural facades that now define the exterior. Concurrently, the interiors of Stage 4 are bustling with activity as kitchens take shape, filling the spaces with a sense of warmth and functionality. Lots 69-76 are undergoing a comprehensive transformation with meticulous attention to detail, including painting, joinery installations, and the placement of exquisite flooring and tiling. Lots 61-68 are progressing swiftly with plastering and painting endeavors, adding finesse to these living spaces. Lots 77-88 are witnessing the commencement of external cladding work and the essential rough-in of services, marking significant milestones in their development. The collective efforts of our skilled teams promise a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality, ensuring a truly exceptional living experience for our future residents. With completion due in early 2024, we look forward to sharing more construction updates over the coming months. Developer: CasUrban Architect: Ikonomidis Design Studio Builder: CasConstruct

Not so much a fit-out… more like a base-build story. 🚧 Some years ago, DLA Piper chose 80 Collins Street as their new home. At the time, we at MBS Architectural were busy designing and supplying the base building ceilings for the project.    Perfectly integrated lighting, custom perforated perimeter bulkheads and floating column rings are all on show but somehow invisible simultaneously. A push towards sustainability was a core characteristic of the design, with a chilled beam cooling and heating system being implemented. These beams sit above the ceiling, allowing cool air in summer and warm air in winter to drop down through the perforations in the metal panels to the welcoming workers below. So, no matter what the season, the temperature stays just right.    We often see fit-out designs focused on removing cumbersome base build ceilings, so it’s a refreshing change to see our efforts embraced with gusto here.    📐 Architect:   Base Build = Woods Bagot  Fit-Out = Hassell  🏗️ Builder: MPA  👷 Ceiling Contractor:   Base Build = EXPOCONTI Pty Ltd  Fit-Out = Paracon   Browse project pics from DLA Piper, and explore recent projects 👉 https://lnkd.in/eWMr85WV      #basebuild #fitout #ceilingfitout #ceilingdesign

Staircase Design And Details

A hidden beam, also known as a concealed beam, is a structural element within a building’s construction that carries loads while remaining unseen, integrated into the slab of the structure. It has the same depth as the slab it supports, allowing for an unobstructed and aesthetically pleasing appearance in architectural designs. The main purposes of a hidden beam are to distribute loads effectively, break down large slab panels, maximize floor height, and provide space for electromechanical ductwork, all while maintaining the integrity of the structure and enhancing its visual appeal. Advantages of hidden beams include: They remain concealed, contributing to a seamless appearance. They allow for greater architectural flexibility and open interior spaces. They efficiently disperse loads on the supporting slab. They facilitate maximum floor height without compromising structural integrity. Disadvantages may include lower ductility due to the high reinforcement ratio needed to compensate for depth restrictions, especially at column connections. Hidden beams are commonly used in various types of slabs like waffle, ribbed, or solid slabs to meet both structural and aesthetic requirements.

Structures featuring "hidden beams" are generally problematic, which is why they are not included in building codes. Such buildings/ Slabs with "hidden beams" often experience significant issues, including excessive deformations that lead to cracking and crushing of partition walls, excessive floor vibrations, punching failure, poor post-failure performance, and brittle behaviour during seismic events. Besides, all this is not accounted for in the design code. A proper design will take care of your beam and slab design/details Also, one can consider a Flat slab design or Rib slab design if your scope is to have a relatively flat under-slab

A thermal break system in a curtain wall is a critical component that helps improve the energy efficiency of a building's envelope by reducing heat transfer between the interior and exterior of the building. Curtain walls are non-structural, exterior cladding systems commonly used in modern architectural design. They typically consist of large glass panels or other glazing materials supported by an aluminum or steel frame. These walls are designed to provide an attractive and functional barrier between the indoor and outdoor environments, but they can be susceptible to thermal bridging, which is the transfer of heat or cold through the frame. #facadedesign

LED wall washer light is a type of lighting fixture that is designed to wash a wall or surface with light to enhance the visual appearance of a space. It consists of an LED light source, a lens that spreads the light beam, and a housing that holds the components together. The wall washer light are typically mounted on walls or ceilings, and they produce a broad, even beam of light that illuminates a large area. They are commonly used in architectural lighting, landscape lighting, and theatrical lighting to create an atmosphere or highlight particular features. LED wall washer lights are energy-efficient and long-lasting, making them a popular choice for lighting projects. Some LED wall washer lights are also RGB color-changing which allows designers to create dynamic and colorful lighting effects to enhance the mood of the space.
