Space House, an architectural marvel in London’s Covent Garden, stands as a testament to innovative design and modernist aesthetics. Completed in 1968, with its futuristic, circular structure and distinctive patterned façade, represents a significant departure from traditional British architecture. Originally designed by Richard Seifert, a notable figure in modernist design, Space House has become a landmark in its own right, embodying the forward-thinking spirit of its era. Its unique appearance and central location make it a point of interest not just for architecture enthusiasts but also for those exploring the dynamic landscape of London. Space House continues to be a symbol of the city’s architectural evolution, bridging the gap between historical richness and contemporary design.
In our endeavours to preserve and document the structural essence of Space House, extensive technical and digital modelling work has been carried out. This includes the development of an AS-built 3D Building Information Modelling (BIM) in both REVIT and IFC formats, ensuring a comprehensive digital representation of the building. Additionally, an AS-built 3D site plan was created using the same formats to provide a detailed overview of the building’s spatial context. To complement the three-dimensional models, AS-built 2D General Arrangement (GA) floor plans were meticulously drafted in CAD format. A point cloud and viewer have also been supplied, offering an immersive digital exploration of Space House. These concerted efforts guarantee that Space House is not only celebrated for its architectural significance but is also equipped with the latest in architectural documentation and preservation techniques.
