Douglas Street: boundary structure design and layout
A boundary structure taken from existing-condition survey through to a revised, coordinated layout and elevation set.
What the project needed.
A boundary structure requiring proper design rather than assumption, on a site where the existing arrangement had to be recorded before a new layout could be set out.
Work carried out
- Existing plans and elevations survey
- Pictorial plan and elevations
- Location and layout drawing
- Two issued revisions coordinating the set
What douglas street actually involves.
Boundary structures are routinely built without design and routinely fail, because wind load on a solid barrier is significant and the foundation requirement is usually underestimated. Designing one properly means assessing the load and detailing the support rather than following a standard arrangement.
A pictorial plan and elevation drawing was issued alongside the technical set, which helps where a client or a neighbour needs to understand what is proposed without reading a structural drawing.
The set was revised twice, with the layout and elevation drawings reissued as the scheme developed.
