Sample
Residential
Riverside parcel
Two options tested against a height limit stepping down to the river frontage. The taller option gained gross area but lost net once the second core was added.
Work
Selected studies
Each commission is issued as a single A3 PDF: the site and its constraints, two massing options modelled in three dimensions, a full area schedule and efficiency analysis for each, and a written recommendation on which to pursue.
Placeholder content. The studies below are illustrative layout examples, not
client commissions. 6KZ has issued no commissions to date. Real case studies will be published
only with the client’s written consent, with the site and the client anonymised.
Sample
Mixed use
Corner infill
A tight urban plot with daylight constraints on two boundaries. The options differed in how the commercial ground floor met the street.
Sample
Residential
Courtyard block
Perimeter block against a linear arrangement. The comparison turned on circulation length per unit rather than on footprint.
Sample
Hospitality
Waterfront hotel
Key count tested against floorplate depth. A slimmer tower gave fewer rooms per floor but a higher proportion of sea-facing keys.
Sample
Mixed use
Podium and towers
Retail podium with two residential elements above. The options varied the split between the towers and the area held at podium level.
Sample
Masterplan
Terraced parcels
Three parcels tested as a single scheme. Comparison covered plot ratio, frontage and the phasing each arrangement allowed.
Next step
Have a site to test?
We need something that locates and bounds it. Ideally title deeds or a site plan, or at minimum the coordinates or the location.
