Aquamarine III

Project Objectives and Brief

At Priedemann any project starts with the determination of the planning basis, with the facts, requirements and possibilities – no matter when we start and always together with everyone involved in the project

What is the design concept?
Which local standards apply?
Urban planning requirements?

Energy requirements?
Weighing up the priorities in the “magic triangle” of quality, costs and duration
Definition of an objective as a benchmark for all subsequent planning phases
Development of the evaluation criteria as expert assessors in architectural competitions

Project Objectives and Brief

Concept/Schematic Design

We design different variants based on the strategic objectives, we identify their advantages and disadvantages and keep on developing the preferred solution.

Sketches of concepts drawn by hand
Taking into account different options for materials and the construction
Inclusion of structural and thermal loads
Dependencies in the building structure are taken into consideration

The physics of the building and acoustic requirements are taken into consideration
Fire protection and smoke extraction are taken into consideration,
Cleaning and maintenance plan, access at heights
Outlining solutions, costs and timings
Inclusion of existing solutions to clarify the design
Support during the initial sampling
Documentation in report form
Ongoing updating or further development of the design

Concept/Schematic Design

Detailed/Developed Design

Priedemann develops the facade concept for planning ready for approval – taking into account all planning principles and requirements determined up to that point, e.g. the climate plan, building technology and building statics.

Detailed hand-drawn sketches
CAD-based layout plans and CAD-guided details
3-dimensional analysis of the shell of the building for complex facades
Selection of the materials and type of facade
Drafting of the facade plan on the basis of the building physics and acoustic specifications

Integration of fire safety and smoke extraction plans
Security requirements are taken into consideration
Collaboration on the overall design so that it can be approved
Joint design, joint width and depth in accordance with the building movements identified and relevant tolerances
Documentation in report form
Ongoing updating and further development of the design, cost estimate and construction scheduling
Support in the planning and implementation of 1:1 facade samples to ensure that the design is progressing as intended, e.g. in design-and-build processes

Detailed/Developed Design

Technical/Construction Design

Priedemann sees the implementation planning as a precise simulation of the construction process and the building – in detail, digitally and, depending on the complexity, as a 3-dimensional model.

Guide-detail planning as CAD drawing on a scale of 1:1 with all connections to adjacent components
Detailed representation of the layers, components and individual components of the facade solution supplemented by material descriptions and dimensioning

Planning on the basis of static pre-dimensioning for the relevant facade components – glass, profiles, fixings
Advanced planning for the building physics and acoustics
The specified security and fire safety requirements are taken into consideration
Planning and integration of control and operating components
Updating costs and the construction schedule
Agreed plan for the materials
Glass specifications
