The Leonardo

The Leonardo in Sandton, South Africa, by Co-Arc International Architects, rebuilt as an approximate visual BIM model from 5 published architectural references. The building measures 74 × 67 m on plan and 234 m tall, across 55 named levels: Ground arcade, Floor course 2 — estimated, Floor course 3 — estimated, Conference course — estimated datum, Floor course 5 — estimated, Floor course 6 — estimated, Pool podium — estimated datum, Floor course 8 — estimated, Floor course 9 — estimated, Floor course 10 — estimated, Floor course 11 — estimated, Floor course 12 — estimated, Floor course 13 — estimated, Floor course 14 — estimated, Floor course 15 — estimated, Floor course 16 — estimated, Floor course 17 — estimated, Floor course 18 — estimated, Floor course 19 — estimated, Floor course 20 — estimated, Floor course 21 — estimated, Floor course 22 — estimated, Floor course 23 — estimated, Floor course 24 — estimated, Floor course 25 — estimated, Floor course 26 — estimated, Floor course 27 — estimated, Floor course 28 — estimated, Floor course 29 — estimated, Floor course 30 — estimated, Floor course 31 — estimated, Floor course 32 — estimated, Floor course 33 — estimated, Floor course 34 — estimated, Floor course 35 — estimated, Floor course 36 — estimated, Floor course 37 — estimated, Floor course 38 — estimated, Floor course 39 — estimated, Floor course 40 — estimated, Floor course 41 — estimated, Floor course 42 — estimated, Floor course 43 — estimated, Floor course 44 — estimated, Floor course 45 — estimated, Floor course 46 — estimated, Floor course 47 — estimated, Floor course 48 — estimated, Floor course 49 — estimated, Floor course 50 — estimated, Floor course 51 — estimated, Floor course 52 — estimated, Floor course 53 — estimated, Floor course 54 — estimated, Floor course 55 — estimated.

Modelled detail includes tall orthogonal shaft with deep recessed glazing and pale stone grids, three vertically grouped facade courses and stepped upper terraces and rooftop screen vanes.

The template ships with 7 saved scenes — a street-level approach, 5 viewpoints from the building's own observation set, and an aerial three-quarter — and carries the real site at 75 Maude St, Sandown, Sandton, 2146, South Africa, so map context and sun angles line up when you open it. It is an approximate visual reconstruction for design and presentation use, not a measured survey, certified BIM, engineering model or construction document.
