Hyper-B Residential team went through design concept, technical analyses, and integrated modeling process to create a detailed architectural documentation of four residential towers. In addition, the project covers various aspects including energy consumption, occupancy, and modular unit types.
We approached this project with a goal that incorporates sustainable energy practices and efficient space planning with unique views for each unit. The work in this blog is based on a full set of drawings and schedules that detail everything from floor plans and elevations to energy and occupancy statistics .

Energy Consumption
One of the key aspects of our project is its focus on energy efficiency. We analyzed the energy consumption for each unit type:
- For the one-bedroom units (Type A), each consumes approximately 120 kWa per week.
- The two-bedroom units (Type B) are set at around 210 kWa per week.
- And the three-bedroom units (Type C) require roughly 300 kWa per week.
When you add all these values, the grand total for the project comes to 1729 kWa per week. This detailed breakdown helped us optimize our energy distribution and ensure that each unit functions within an efficient energy framework.

Occupancy Analysis
Alongside energy metrics, we also developed an occupancy plan that aligns with these consumption figures. The occupancy by type is clear: with the smallest unit intended for 2 occupants, scaling up to 6 occupants for the largest unit

Integrated Modeling & Design Approach
To achieve a seamless design process, we used Rhino Inside to drive the creation of geometry in Revit.
The design is modular in nature, meaning we have standardized unit types that can be repeated across different levels. We identified three primary unit types:
- Unit Type A: A one-bedroom unit designed for two occupants.
- Unit Type B: A two-bedroom unit intended for four occupants.
- Unit Type C: A three-bedroom unit accommodating six occupants.

Architectural Detailing – Floor Plans, Elevations, & Sections
Our floor plans promote natural light within each living unit. The following documents show the floor plans at the different rotated levels. Colored by the unit types. It includes a structural grid for each tower that has a radial orientation from the core.
The units floor plans were developed using grasshopper and push to speckle so another team member can retrieve them in grasshopper and convert them into Revit components using rhino inside for documentation
Here you can see typical level 1
Here you can see typical level 2
Here you can see typical amenities level
Elevations
Furthermore, the building sections provide a vertical perspective of the design, showcasing how the various levels interact. They emphasize the integration of circulation, amenity areas, and living spaces

Schedules
Our architectural schedule compiles all unit types, counts, and volumes and occupancy. These schedules ensure that every detail—from the number of units per level to the specific volume and occupancy—is thoroughly documented and verified

Renders
Finally, our Renders were created using Lumion plugin for Revit called ‘the live sync’ allowing for real life rendering and visualization to bring the project to life.
