3D VIEW OF BUILDING

Currently, my exterior wall is brick because there aren’t a lot of option in Revit and I plan to go to office hours to get help with having walls made from different materials and colors. Also for the doors, I actually plan to have double-flush doors but I am having trouble finding that in “Load Family” tab.

My fifth floor would be a cafe so I made a green roof on the fourth floor so that people enjoying their meals in the cafe could also enjoy the view of green roofs. I will make more curtain walls on the cafe floor and I plan to explore different options of curtain walls. I plan to have solar panels installed on the roof of the fifth floor so that some electricity generation could be offset. The 6th floor will be a green house so it is made from glass. There will also be a lot of vegetations in the green house.
