Completed Model

Completed Model as part of Major Project for SRT251 Construction & Structures 2. Details designed in the manner of Glenn Murcutt. 5mx5mx5m section of the office/showroom building. Steel primary structure, collumns & rafters. Timber secondary structural elements such as purlins & girts. Timber floor frame. Corrugated steel cladding and roofing.


Detail of the knee joint showing the circular hollow section collumns & curved steel rafters complete with haunching.


Detail of purlin to rafter connection & fixing plates also showing the wire safety mesh under corrugated roofing material.


Perspective section illustrating the profile of the structure.

Preliminary Sketch of Detail

A preliminary sketch to help with my model for the Major Project.
I'm using timber and steel in various elements and members in the same manner that Glen Murcutt does. I'm incorporating a curved roof which will require a curved I-beam rafter and I'll also use simmilar haunching to that on the Magney House.

Research for Major Project

Note the use of different materials together, primarily steel structural elements with some tember members such as purlins and girts, and steel and timber claddings.


A circular hollow section used as a collumn attached to a UB used as a rafter, note the steel haunching.


Mangey House - note the use of corrugated steel roofing & steel for the structure.
