Conversion of the existing Copper Refinery dry facilities to new modern office environment intended to house Vales strategic mining projects development office.
Development of three dimensional imagery and animations to visually communicate with our clients.
We offer comprehensive design services ranging from schematic design, design development, construction document to contract administration for new builds, additions and renovation projects. Our studio has a continuous presence throughout the project; from concept to completion.
A detailed and comprehensive review of existing conditions, a building condition assessment report describes existing building conditions and makes recommendations for the repair or replacement of building systems to support the functional and aesthetic requirements of the project.
National + Ontario Building Code Review
Fire & Life Safety
Barrier Free Accessibility: Interior and Exterior Environment
Providing quality assurance through regular site visits, ensuring construction is being performed in accordance with the design, specified details and relevant codes and standards.
Our studio develops cost analysis to support programming, feasibility studies, design and general review services. We prepare order of magnitude cost estimates that reference a library of unit costs and construction methods to identify the cost of the project and quantify the scope of work. Our cost analyses is led by our in house professional quantity surveyors - we use real construction cost data that has been collected over thirty years of practice
Feasibility studies use a variety of strategies; programming, master planning building condition audits, cost analysis, etc., to verify that a project is viable.
Functional space programming develops a detailed list of interior and exterior spaces required to support a project. Programming is focused on quantifying spaces, developing the overall size of building or site and identifying ideal relationships between spaces. This process guides the development of the project.
Heavy industry has realized significant success, improved health and safety and productivity in the work environment by our studio providing design solutions tailored to their specific industrial environments.
Our studio knows how to bring interiors to life. We are skilled at visioning spatial solutions that create desirable interior work spaces. New spatial environments are supported with the selection of interior finishes, colours, furniture and equipment.
The design and development of a broad vision for a project that responds to issues of context; urban planning, landforms, services, transportation networks, social, environmental, spatial needs and schedule for development and project costs. The master plan is a guide for the long range development of the project
• Need to accommodate day to day activities with minimal disruption • Provide sufficient space for employees to be relocated • Provide a mix of enclosed and open work areas
Existing structure kept in-tact and repurposed in renovation. Creative programming of the existing space expanded the designated work area – it allowed all areas of the existing space to be used in a way that was previously overlooked. Phased construction schedule developed by 3rdline studio permitted occupancy throughout construction with minimal construction to daily goings on of the site Bold approach to the design of space exceeded staff expectations.
