Complete Structural & Architectural Documentation
This comprehensive set of construction drawings details traditional Chinese pavilion (亭子) and corridor (廊) structures with timber frame construction. The drawings include floor plans, elevations, sections, roof plans, foundation plans, and connection details at scales ranging from 1:100 to 1:5.
Key Structural Elements:
– Timber frame system with hardwood columns (∅220mm) and beams (250×160mm)
– Traditional joinery details including mortise and tenon connections
– Timber rafters (∅70mm) at 200mm spacing
– Traditional roof assembly with wooden decking (15mm), waterproofing layer, and small blue roof tiles
– Stone foundation with concrete base (C20 grade)
Dimensions & Elevations:
– Building height: approximately 4.1m from finished floor (±0.000) to ridge
– Foundation depth: -0.800m below grade
– Eave height: approximately 2.75m
– Stone floor system with 150mm stone slabs over 100mm concrete
The drawings feature traditional Chinese architectural elements including ridge treatments, decorative brackets (60mm thick “sparrow brackets”), and ornamental railings with detailed and thorough specifications for fabrication. All wood elements receive a tung oil finish with slight black pigment to preserve the natural wood grain appearance. The foundation design accounts for a soil bearing capacity of 60 KPa.
