Design Ideas for the Built World

Friday Feature - June 8th Edition

In this edition we're introducing our new Configure8 system and showcasing 3D models by Border Concepts, Inc. , Air-O-Lator, American Bicycle Security Company, & AGF Manufacturing.   We've also gathered projects from Kenneth Lynch & Sons, Tournesol Siteworks, Flecks Systems, and Atlantic Premium Shutters.


Green Theory Design Has Paved the Way with New Design Customization


Green Theory has partnered with CADdetails’ Configure8 system to build out the Ivy System. The system offers dynamic modelling that adjusts to each specification you make. So as you create your unique planter configuration, CADdetails’ product Visualizer dynamically reflects the selections you’ve made, providing you with a real time representation of the product to be specified.
     The program is incredibly beneficial as it allows you to create multiple design documents in which you can select from imperial or metric configurations, standard or custom sizes and colors and the quantity.
     Once you have your specs, you can review your configuration in the Summary prior to creation. As the model is generated in real time, you can make quick changes and review them again until you’re satisfied.
     After you’ve made all of your changes, you can send the model directly to your email. Noticed that you made a mistake in your configuration? Not a problem! Each custom configuration is saved and can be reopened. So you can modify it quickly and efficiently to increase productivity.

Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, PA, is a historic park situated in the heart of the city along the Schuylkill River. The area of the park called Centennial Commons, West Fairmount Park began improvements in April 2017. Our firm was contacted by Studio Bryan Haynes to fabricate a new park bench with a design based on a historic bench from the park.

Atlantic Premium Shutters - Alys Beach, Florida

The award-winning architecture of the homes and buildings in Alys Beach has its roots in the master planning of New Urbanism pioneer Duany PlaterZyberk & Company (DPZ). Designed for walkability, interaction and environmental efficiency, the roads and paths of this 158-acre luxury-lifestyle community do lead to the white sand beaches and azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and also to a number of parks and dining and gathering places. 

DPZ’s architectural vision for Alys Beach married the typology of the courtyard houses found in Antigua, Guatemala with the architecture of Bermuda. “It’s a very distinctive architecture, and very fresh in this area,” says Marieanne Khoury-Vogt, one of Alys Beach’s two Town Architects, along with husband Erik Vogt. The pair founded Khoury & Vogt Architects.

Pre-cast bioretention planters are typically made of lightweight GFRC concrete. The live loads on the sidewalls of these very large planters typically demand the rigidity and strength of concrete. The units may be used individually or ganged together to filter a larger area. The product compares very favorably, both in terms of footprint and ease of installation, with both cast-in-place concrete and build-in-place CMU construction alternatives.
