Matt Brindley – Site Delivery Architect for Kann Finch Dubai
Kann Finch Dubai was engaged by Aldar Properties PJSC to design and deliver a new Crowne Plaza Hotel adjacent to the Formula 1 track on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi UAE. Kann Finch Dubai acted as lead consultant.
Matt’s responsibility on this project was to deliver all public areas of the hotel based on design documents from Kann Finch in Sydney. The task was to assess the designs for ease of construction by site workmen and ensuring that local material suppliers could meet the design requirements.
The spaces included an Arabic restaurant, all day dining, a specialty beer bar, wine bar, meeting rooms, gymnasium, change rooms, toilets, reception and lounge lobbies, as well the lobby, foyer and major ballroom of the hotel.
Matt’s work on site included building a complete 3D computer model of the ballroom including all services, decorative ceiling and seating arrangements to understand and communicate the design’s intricacies to subcontractors as well as to ensure services clashes were eliminated.
At Swell Architects we use 3D software in all designs at all stages of the architectural process.
