Representative envelope programmes
New Footscray Hospital canopy - 70×40 m entrance canopy for Cox Architecture and Sculptform: wavy clip-on aluminium batten soffit with 2,000+ CNC drawings and hundreds of batten STEP exports - each piece machine-cut to compound angles from the parametric model.
Sofitel Wentworth Sydney - 26 m diameter radial timber canopy over a heritage courtyard amphitheatre: bent solid battens, acoustic backing, concealed speakers and lighting, and 3,000+ structural clips with forces exceeding 7 kN resolved before fabrication.
Rhino–Revit façade pipeline - For HKS LINE, parametric façade design in Grasshopper becomes native Revit curtain-wall-class systems - adaptive families, materials, BIM metadata, schedules, and drawing sets comparable to manually authored façades.
Centre of Mediterranean Culture - Indoor pedestrian bridge and architectural skin for Zaha Hadid Architects: complex interior envelope geometry delivered through tightly coupled computational and DfMA workflows.
Newcastle Play Space Kiosk - Beach-side kiosk with curving timber-ceiling café for TZG Architects - envelope and soffit logic suited to high-use coastal conditions and public amenity.
Outcomes envelope teams measure
- Install certainty - Tagged, sequenced panels and battens with level references before site mobilization.
- Coordination depth - Services, acoustics, and structure resolved inside the envelope model, not on site.
- BIM-ready façades - Parametric studies that survive into Revit for quantities, tagging, and extraction.
- Fewer RFIs - Fabrication logic authored once; revisions propagate to shop output automatically.
