Project Description
A single storey (Ground Floor and Roof) bespoke house is required to be built in Auckland. The build-
ing should have size and layout as given in Figure 1 and Figure 2, there must be 2.8m head room
within the building. Subsoil profile is C according to the geotechnical report. The building is to
be built on a plateau with a 30 slope escarpment to provide panoramic views. To facilitate this, no verti-
cal structure (columns or walls) are permitted along the viewing elevation, which is to be glazed full height
. There are no limitations placed upon the floor/roof structure size, but client's requirements are to have
open plan living spaces. The roof structure is expected to form a key aesthetic element of the building. The
Architect wishes to use steel as the only material for the building and therefore the structure will be fully ex-
posed internally and externally. Your submission must state and justify, any further assumptions made. A
client requires a 100 years design working life for the proposed structure.
Drawings are to scale but DO NOT scale these. All units are in m unless noted otherwise. As part of pre-
liminary design select the structural system and floor/roof slab system and justify your choice. The grids on
the perimeter of the building support concrete panels and/or glazing units. Appropriate detailing con-
siderations for wind resistance need to be considered. steel grade is 300 plus; Roof finishing over slab (com-
plete with insulation, screed and clay tiles),5.0kNm2; floor finishing (incl. granite tiles, screed, and al-
lowance for partitions)=540kNm2. In addition to permanent actions, you may also need to consider loads
from finishes, which can be calculated using the following tabulated material densities.
