Cable Car Station Design Project - George Hotel, Huddersfield

This project involves the design of a cable car station, built on top of an existing hotel building, the George Hotel in Huddersfield, UK. The assignment includes a 3D model created in Autodesk Revit, with plans, sections, and elevations. The design incorporates a two-story structure, with the ground floor housing amenities and the upper floor accommodating the cable car platform. The design emphasizes natural light and ventilation, with a focus on sustainability. The project also includes a precedent study, design concepts, and a technical report. The final product includes presentation slides with renders and images, demonstrating the architectural design, materials used, and functional aspects of the cable car station. This project is aimed for presentation purposes and will be used to demonstrate design and architectural knowledge. The project includes detailed views and analysis.
