Turning the corner. Hum?.

Sive visit: Stevenson St, St Albans
Office complex.





Guessing a downpipe still needs to be attached. if you look closely you can see the bracing puncturing the UB.



Box gutter on UB. This is what my model is going to look like! Hopefully.

Portal frame in construction. Its in the street behind Bunnings is sunshine. The site was just left open and no one was around so quickly popped in and took full advantage of the exposed boxed gutter!



Also, this site answer my question: can I jest bolt steel straight on to a concrete slab or wall? Yes. Yes you can. So that what I’ve done in my physical model, so hope it right!









Go BUNNINGS! Just an example of portal frame construction. Thought I’d re-visit a site to make it absolutely clear before beginning my physical model for my project.
This is the Bunnings on Ballarat Rd in Sunshine, Melbourne.

Finally! after books and books of research i have, what i think to be, a correct section through the corner of the project where the warehouse connects to the office.
i used autoCAD to produce these drawings and they relate to the previous post so that you can identify where the sections have been cut.

here is a detail section of where the two buildings, (the warehouse and the office) meet.

Handrawn elevations and sections major profect. Approx. scale. Satisfies brief requirements in relation to proportions and scales.


This is my final design. Although the heights are not entirely correct, the floorplan and stairs are spot on!
