CAD/CAM Designer – Architectural & MEP (Fusion 360 + Autodesk) Ended

Project Overview

We are developing a Future Fixtures Gallery (FFG) inside a private innovation lab.

The FFG is a single, continuous, museum-grade glass showcase designed to display advanced bathroom, plumbing, and building-services technologies with live water installations.

The design must showcase products elegantly, allow full serviceability, and support frequent exhibit changes.

The deliverables will form the fabrication and installation package for this gallery.

2. Fixed Dimensions
The gallery must fit within the following physical envelope:
• Length: 6480 mm
• Depth (front-to-back): 2040 mm
• Height: Full height up to ceiling

All architectural and MEP systems must be fully coordinated within these limits.

3. Software Requirements
The freelancer must work in:
• Fusion 360 – for 3D modeling and visualizations
• Autodesk (AutoCAD and/or Revit) – for all 2D drawings and MEP documentation

4. Architectural Scope
4.1 Concept & Spatial Layout
• Translate reference images and goals into a single long glass gallery along a wall.
• Define visitor viewing zones, product placement zones, and technical display zones.
• Ensure internal working depth for maintenance teams (target: ≥900 mm clear internally).

4.2 Glass Gallery Enclosure
The gallery is a floor-to-ceiling glazed installation with the following requirements:

• Minimal visible framing
• Clean museum-style joints
• Optional curved or chamfered corners
• Integrated LED channels in floor/ceiling frames
• Selective see-through areas using glass wall or glass floor panels revealing internal pipes and technology

4.3 Operable Glass Access Panels
To support installation and reconfiguration:
• Provide at least two large operable glass panels.
• Panels must be push-to-open, with no visible handles on the visitor-facing side.
• Panels must provide enough clearance to bring in large fixtures (e.g., WC carriers, vanities).
• Acceptable systems:

o Pivot-hinged doors (patch fittings, floor springs)
o Sliding or stacking panels (minimal visible track)


Include in drawings:
• Panel sizes
• Hardware detail
• Opening paths
• Threshold & sealing strategy to protect raised floor

4.4 Raised Floor System (Entire Gallery)
The full gallery sits on a modular, dry-laid raised floor system:
• Cavity height: approx. 100–150 mm
• Panels must be removable for access
• Must withstand fixture loads + visitor foot traffic
• Cavity will contain plumbing supply, drainage, electrical conduits, and data

Glass floor panels must be included at selected positions to reveal under-floor services.

4.5 Modular Wall & Panel System
Back wall must be a high-flexibility service wall:
• Stud frame with removable cement board or MgO board panels
• Concealed clip systems for fast panel replacement
• Invisible access panels for manifolds, valves, and wiring
• Pre-engineered mounting zones for:

o Wall-hung WCs
o Basins
o Showers / valves / mixers
o Display screens
o “Visible tech wall” piping layouts

Selected wall areas should use glass panels to display exposed internal systems.

4.6 3D Model & Renders (Fusion 360)
Deliver a full 3D model and at least six high-quality renders, including:
• Full gallery (day + night lighting)
• Live bathroom bay demonstration
• Exposed “tech wall” area
• Glass floor revealing piping
• Close-up of operable glass door system
• Lighting effects scene


5. MEP Scope
5.1 Plumbing – Supply, Drainage & Leak Management
Supply (Live Water Installations):
• Cold water distribution routed through raised floor
• Provision for hot water in future (routing + space, even if unused initially)
• Manifolds + isolation valves in accessible zones
• Multiple connection points for rotating fixtures

Primary Drainage:
• Drainage for WCs, basins, showers, and other demonstrators
• Horizontal drainage manifold under raised floor or in wall, with appropriate fall
• Connection to building drainage (designer to state assumptions due to unknown depth)

Underfloor Drainage (Critical):
• The slab under the raised floor must be designed/assumed to slope toward floor drains or a drainage channel
• Detail exactly how leaked water gets from cavity → drain
• Avoid stagnant zones
• Provide access points for clearing drains


Leak Detection
• Identify recommended sensor locations
• Coordinate wiring with electrical bus system

Deliverables:
• Plumbing GAs, detailed sections, schematics, and underfloor drainage details

5.2 Electrical – Lighting, Power & Sensor Bus
Lighting (Layered Design):
• LED effect lighting (perimeter glow)
• Downlighting (wall wash)
• Track-mounted spotlights (product highlight
• Dimmable, grouped circuits for simple scene control

Power Distribution:
• Routing through raised floor and wall frame
• Power supply to all fixtures and future devices
• Continuous power bus (ceiling or wall) to support sensors, IoT, small devices, added lighting

Data & Control Cabling:
• Dedicated conduits and raceways parallel to power bus
• Access/junction points coordinated with wall/floor panels
• Allow for future addition of smart sensors

Deliverables:
• Lighting layout
• Power layout + power bus routing
• Single-line diagrams
• Fixture schedules



5.3 Mechanical / Ventilation Strategy
Given the enclosed glass volume and presence of water:
• Provide a ventilation concept to prevent condensation and ensure thermal comfort
• Preferred approaches:
o Shared airflow with main ceiling plenum (if possible
o Slim linear slot diffusers integrated into a top “cap”
o Discreet return/transfer grillages at high level

Underfloor cavity ventilation:
• Include passive or low-flow ventilation measures to avoid stagnant humid air under the raised floor

Deliverables:
• Ventilation diagrams and layouts
• Mechanical coordination drawings
