Abstract: This academic project showcases the architectural modeling and visualization of a stilt-plus-four-story residential building using Revit Architecture and AutoCAD. The study aims to create a digitally simulated residential structure that balances functional efficiency with modern urban housing requirements. The building's design, situated on a 40×60 feet plot with a southeast orientation, prioritizes climate responsiveness and natural daylight optimization for improved ventilation and thermal comfort. The project workflow begins with conceptual planning in AutoCAD, transitioning to detailed 3D modeling in Revit Architecture. This process integrates architectural elements, including walls, doors, windows, and roofing systems, while incorporating features like lighting, ventilation, and staircase design. The stilt floor accommodates parking, reflecting urban planning demands and space optimization. By leveraging Revit's Building Information Modeling (BIM) capabilities, the project achieves high design coordination, visualization, and parametric control. The digital model enables efficient generation of construction documentation, elevations, and sections. Sustainability aspects are incorporated through passive design elements, reducing potential design conflicts and material wastage. This project highlights the benefits of advanced architectural software tools in residential building design, enhancing precision, creativity, and efficiency in the field.
