Hi Rachel

I have written no support in Red on the snip below. The drawing may show a facia as a solid black line. In the section does show a facia. However, a Renson facia is not a support.
I have never seen two projections of different dimensions without an outer steel support. Most if not, all are mitred corners of the same projection.

Regarding the drawings on their web site, I would point out that you sent some images like these on the 27 August to us.

We have been going back and forth via email for many weeks now. The architect stated that they might speak to other Brise Soleil companies which is why I have put this project on hold.

At some point we suggested a cassette system. This was rejected but I feel that this should be reconsidered. Attached is a sketch showing the principal of how the corner would look. It would still have a facia. Also attached is a typical cassette drawing.

We don’t know what else over and above what has already been suggested.

We look forward to your response.

Best regards

Martin

Hi Martin,

Where you have marked ‘no support’ on the corner section, how do you suggest we support it?
Have you done any around corners before? Can you give us some advice based on your experience please?

The drawings on their website are purely indicative and not accurately represented.

Subject: RE: Makai - Brise Soleil drawing
Hi Rachel

The drawing shows no support on the end of the larger projection. The blades would be cantilevering around 1200mm the last arm above as shown. The Renson Facia is not a structural element and cannot be used to support blades.

The architects’ image on their web site shows what would appear to be a large facia section. We would consider this to be a steel structure clad to match. If this was the actual design what the architect wants would work. This is what Claire referred to as a perimeter steel.

As it is we are again being asked to offer something without supporting the blades. In our meeting with Mark, we thought that this was understood.

We feel your frustrations. We seem to go backwards to ideas that have already been exhausted.

Best regards

Martin

Hi All,

Following a phone call with Mark to catch up on all the messages and emails that have been flying about, he has sent the revised corner detailing. Can you confirm what would be required to make this drawing happen?

Hi Martin,

We had previously discussed a 200mm fascia which would run around both elevations as I understand this was why it was added to the cassette quote in the first place. Would this not be sufficient to support the louvres each side as a ‘perimeter steel by others’ as mentioned by Claire below (I have attached both emails in one).

If not, can you suggest what would be required as feel sadly we are going backwards.

Kind Regards

Hi Carlo,

What are advising is not possible without support steel work (by others)  To make this work the blades would have to stop in line with the building and there be no blades to the corner?

Happy for you to call and discuss if needed.

Subject: Re: MAKAI - Brise soleil

Hi All – I’ve just crossed leave with Mark – he’s back in the office tomorrow. I understand we need to confirm some details today Monday 29 Sept to book our technical detailing slot? The details we would like to confirm are as follows then:

1                    4 and 6 blade option for the brise-soleil. Specifically, 6 facing South and 4 facing West.

2                    The corner detail needs to be simplified to deliver some cost saving – please run the South facing blades across the ENTIRE length of the southern array. There is no need for the blades to have to turn the corner. The orientation to the corner is to be as illustrated by the attached extracts.

Given the importance of these instructions – can you please confirm receipt of this email and that its details are clear.

Kind regards

Carlo

Subject: RE: Makai - Brise Soleil drawing
Hi Rachel

We have received a telephone call from Carlo Riva following the last between him and Claire. Carlo stated that he would consider his options which included looking elsewhere for the Brise Soleil.

With that in mind we shall stop all progress until confirmation of whether you require Renson to proceed.

We thought that Riva Architects understood the issues in our meeting last week with Mark. It appears that what is required is as the CGI image shows. If there was a perimeter steel support as this appears to show it would be possible. Without this perimeter steel there is no support for the blade ends to the South elevation.

We will await your further instructions.

Best regards

Martin

Hi Claire,

This is to confirm an official order for the Brise Soleil as REV-D according to Marks final detailing.

I trust this will be enough to get this in progress?
