Information

Overview

Package for rooms for a one familiy dwelling.

Concept

The one family dwelling isn’t based on an existing building, but on a virtual two storey building with ten rooms and a saddle roof, which is typical for German houses. A core of six room types was developed to model the different rooms in the house: room types with two outer walls and room types with one outer wall. Some inner walls can face just one room, while others can face two rooms. Rooms on the ground floor are connected to the ground, while rooms on the upper floor have a saddle roof. The layout of the two floors is the same.

The room model is realized by aggregating together all the components in a model, parameterizing on a room level and referencing the parameter on the component level. In this way the number of parameters is reduced, e.g. for a simple rectangular room only three parameters are needed for the dimensions of all the walls: height, length, width.

The set of room types developed for the one family dwelling can, if necessary, be parameterized differently than the standard model or extended in order to build up specific house models. New sets of wall, window and door types can be developed, e.g. for older, not renovated buildings, and incorporated in the existing structure.
