Design

Design the building, not a picture of it.

Develop site strategy, massing, plans, circulation and alternatives in an editable design that becomes a BIM model.

Harbour Yard's Level 18 plan, designed in Bimiq

Place the building on its site.

Research holds what the site is. Design holds the response: placement, access, parking, outdoor program, service routes and landscape.

  1. 1

    The tower to the south-east

    It opens onto Al Marsa Street and Al Seef Street, facing the harbour.

  2. 2

    A public garden in the sun

    Lawn, play, a reflecting pool and a meadow fill the south-west.

  3. 3

    Visitors to the north-west

    A visitor car park with drop-off, off Al Khaleej Street.

  4. 4

    Service from Al Mina Road

    Loading, the car park ramp and the substation, away from the entrances.

Keep the core where it is, but make the one-bedroom homes larger.

When the design is ready, it becomes the model.

Bimiq resolves the design into walls, doors, windows, floors, rooms and levels with their types and data. You keep editing from there.

Bring the project, and Bimiq will take it from research to a model you can keep editing.
