A mixed media sectional model representing the proposed build, in timber, and the existing, in grey, as well as other internal materials in white. Details such as trusses and louvres were important and therefore attention was taken to accurately model these.
One of the existing buildings is much older than the other, and was modelled to a level of detail to show this, without being over the top. The proposed build was modelled in plywood, with the orientation of the grain to reflect the design features, and some laser etching used to indicate curtain walling. Other features, such as the louvres and trusses, were carefully crafted by hand.
For another plywood model, see Anderston Kelvingrove Church, while Fraser Avenue is a model which uses contrasting materials to great effect.
