| | Project: MINIMALIST FURNITURE IN INDUSTRIAL ARCHITECTURE | | Date: 10/15/2025 | | Development by: Markus Hormaza, representative of ASAP PROJECTS © | | Objective: Architectural 3D modeling at LOD 300 level of detail, technical documentation, and rendering of CNC-manufactured furniture in MDF and melamine-laminated particleboard, with a focus on formal synthesis, functionality, and spatial coherence within an industrial-style architectural environment | | Design Phase: Architectural Development and Visualization | | Skills: Computer-Aided Technical Drafting (CAD), 3D modeling, furniture parametrization, shop drawing documentation, architectural representation, and rendering with natural and artificial lighting | | Project Scope: Design and digital modeling of architectural kitchen furniture for a modern industrial building, emphasizing the technical exposure of building systems and the contemporary materiality of the space | | General Description: The project develops architectural furniture modeling using MDF and melamine-laminated particleboard, with standardized modularity for CNC cutting. The spatial composition is based on an interrupted “U” layout that generates an island functioning as a dining area and the functional axis of the space. The project is distinguished by the use of “inverted reclining chairs,” directly bolted to the slab-on-grade, an original and unusual design in contemporary interior design inspired by equestrian posture. This innovation aims to promote active ergonomics, social interaction, and an aesthetic reinterpretation of the kitchen as a gathering space | | Copyright: Original work. All rights reserved | | Software: AutoCAD | | Applicable Standards: NTC 6050 (Kitchen furniture), ISO 7170 (Structural requirements), NFPA 13 (Automatic sprinklers), NFPA 70 (Electrical installations), RETIE (Colombian Technical Electrical Code), NSR-10 (Architecture), ANSI/BIFMA X5.5 (Furniture testing) | | Design Requirements: LOD 300 modeling, ensuring dimensional accuracy, CNC manufacturing optimization, and texture definition consistent with the industrial environment. Exposed conduit routing is integrated in compliance with RETIE and NFPA 70, as well as automatic fire detection and suppression using upright sprinklers. Lighting and mechanical ventilation are modeled in accordance with the open-plan character of the space and the absence of a suspended ceiling | | Skills: CAD technical drafting, parametric 3D modeling, shop drawing development, architectural code interpretation, and architectural visualization | | Required Expertise: Architectural design, technical interior design, CNC manufacturing, digital modeling, applied ergonomics, and coordination with MEP systems | | Technologies Used: 3D CAD (AutoCAD), native rendering, parametric modeling, architectural lighting simulation | | LOD (Level of Detail): LOD 300 (geometric accuracy, connections, and materials suitable for fabrication) | | Designed Components: Base and wall kitchen modules, central island with dining area, melamine work surfaces, auxiliary technical furniture, inverted reclining chairs bolted to the slab-on-grade, lightweight metal support structures, exposed ventilation ducts, exposed electrical conduits, and suspended luminaires | | Generated Documentation: 2D construction drawings, 3D AutoCAD model, architectural renders, CNC cutting layouts, assembly details, and materials specification | | Materials: MDF and melamine-laminated particleboard (beige, olive, Ibiza), structural metal tubing, electrical conduits, recessed accessories, and concealed internal fastening devices (no visible hardware) | | Considerations: This project is framed within the “Minimalist Furniture Design in Industrial Architecture” approach, where technical exposure of building systems and material purity prevail. Traditional hardware is excluded; modules use concealed internal fastening devices to maintain visual cleanliness. The furniture is architecturally integrated into the space, preserving the structural reading of exposed concrete walls and the absence of a suspended ceiling, which reveals various installations through hanging supports. The innovation lies in the “inverted reclining chair,” a utility model developed as a functional and aesthetic reinterpretation not contemplated in current interior design standards, emphasizing the relationship between ergonomics, structure, and applied creativity | | Attribution: “New York at night” with Microsoft Bing AI | | Contact: Markus Hormaza, hormazamarkus@gmail.com | | Rights: ASAP PROJECTS © All rights reserved | |
