Project :

Complete redevelopment of existing tube station in Hounslow. Providing office, reception and ticket hall. Roof construction is singly curved timber lamellar roof structure with steel / timber columns and patinated copper cladding. Design driven my need to minimise closures of rail line during construction.

My Role :

  • Create software to parametrically generate geometry of roof to allow different member spacing, helix angles and lamella configurations to be assessed
  • Finite Element Analysis of roof structure
  • Analyse twist in timber members
