Metaroom and DIALux tie up to Enhance Efficiency in 3D Modelling for Lighting Design

Metaroom and DIALux tie up to Enhance Efficiency in 3D Modelling for Lighting Design

Partnership will enable users to instantly scan spaces and then experiment with lighting solutions to find the optimum design  Metaroom by Amrax, a spatial 3D data capture company, has announced a partnership with the world’s largest lighting design software provider DIALux.   The tie-up will enable users to send 3D scan data from Amrax’s Metaroom solution directly to DIALux’s planning software. This new feature will be available from mid-September with the release of DIALux evo 13. This allows the fast creation of precise and detailed light plans for each room.   Scans* can be made in a matter of minutes on any Apple Pro device with a LiDAR sensor and then instantly imported into DIALux. At this point, users can experiment with scores of different factors to find the most cost effective, aesthetically pleasing, functional and sustainable lighting solution for their space. The partnership between Metaroom and DIALux aims to streamline the spatial design process for professional designers and consequently help to power innovation, sustainable design, and lower costs.  The Metaroom app is an advanced 3D scanning app, driven by the power of AI, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), and SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping) technologies. The tool enables professionals in spatial planning industries to envision and redefine spaces. The Metaroom solution is a workflow consisting of Metaroom app for capture and Metaroom Studio for optimisation before export. Through the Metaroom app users can scan rooms using an iPhone Pro or iPad Pro*. These scans are then uploaded to the cloud, generating true-to-scale 3D models within seconds. Users can then use the web application, Metaroom Studio, to enrich these 3D models with additional information before exporting, ensuring project-specific customisation and precision.  DIALux is the global standard in lighting design software, utilized by over 750,000 active users to design, calculate, and visualize lighting for both indoor and outdoor areas. Featuring real luminaires from over 412 DIALux members, users can create unique atmospheres and generate comprehensive project documentation. Available in 26 languages, DIALux supports a worldwide network of lighting professionals and adheres to the open BIM approach. The integration with Metaroom is also based on open BIM and IFC standards.   DIAL always prioritizes the needs of lighting designers in its feature development, aiming to streamline their workflows and simplify their tasks. By using Metaroom, lighting designers can save significant time when designing and placing luminaires. Projects can be conveniently downloaded from Metaroom Studio and imported into DIALux. The planning results can then be exported as an IFC model for the Open BIM process or other programs, significantly reducing the workload.  Martin Huber, CEO of Amrax, said: “Advances in 3D modelling, software and AI are combining to democratise design. Lighting designers and electrical planners now have access to powerful tools that significantly enhance efficiency, enabling them to serve more customers in less time. This is going to lead to a revolution in how buildings are designed and how we all interact with our built environment.  “Partnerships between cutting edge solutions like Metaroom and DIALux are key to powering this change. By creating an extensive ecosystem of lighting design solutions, we will significantly improve accessibility, reduce costs and bring spatial design to the mainstream.”     Dieter Polle, CEO at DIALux, said: “Simply scan the room with your smartphone and start planning right away. Wouldn’t that be fantastic? By integrating Metaroom into DIALux, this is now possible. The time-consuming task of constructing the geometry before starting the actual lighting design is eliminated. Martin’s team and their solution have convinced us. The integration follows our Open BIM strategy technologically. With this integration, we’ve made life a bit easier for lighting designers.”  Over 11.000 Metaroom users, including key players in the lighting, wireless planning and AEC industries, have registered through the Metaroom app and joined the Amrax B2B ecosystem dedicated to spatial design and 3D modelling.   *Metaroom app’s scanning functionality is currently compatible with all LIDAR-enabled Apple devices (starting from iPhone 12 Pro and iPad Pro 2020 generation devices). However, you can view or download shared 3D models directly in any web browser through Metaroom Studio.   The digital twin is created with the Metaroom app within minutes by using RGB and depth sensors from an iPhone or iPad Pro together with deep-learning neural networks. The accuracy of LiDAR sensors of the iPhone 14 Pro model is at 0.5-1%. The recognition range is approximately 5 meters.

More than 300 high specification kitchens from Deanestor for Soyo Leeds co-living scheme

Deanestor, one of the UK’s leading furniture and fitout specialists, has delivered a £1.6m contract to provide more than 300 high specification kitchens for a major new co-living scheme in Leeds, developed by Caddick Developments. Mercer West and Madison East are two adjoining apartment buildings near the River Aire in Leeds’ vibrant cultural quarter, which were built by Caddick Construction. This build-to-rent development is part of SOYO Leeds – a new neighbourhood in the heart of the city which has transformed a site along The Headrow. A mix of studio, one, two and three-bed apartments were designed by DLG Architects, together with new public realm, outdoor courtyards, retail, restaurant and ground floor amenity spaces. Deanestor provided bespoke, contemporary kitchens for 331 apartments in a range of configurations to suit each apartment layout. This involved the manufacture and installation of around 4,500 items of furniture including base and wall cabinets, drawers, tall fridge unit, oven housing and solid white quartz worktops. According to Eugene Cannon, Senior Quantity Surveyor at Caddick Construction,“The Deanestor team excelled commercially and in the design phase for this complex and large-scale co-living scheme. They were helpful at each stage and had a common-sense approach to any challenges, such as the need to upgrade appliances. The finished kitchens are great – good quality, contemporary detailing, superior worktops, and gave us the value for money we were looking for.” The kitchen cabinetry was supplied in two colour palettes for alternate floors – stone grey and dark blue, and with black D-shaped handles and brushed satin taps. Each kitchen was fully equipped by Deanestor with integrated appliances – a built-in oven, microwave, ceramic hob, washer dryer, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The apartments have oak flooring throughout the kitchen, dining, living, and utility areas to create a seamless flow. There is a range of amenities for residents, including an exclusive on-site gym, bike storage and repair station, 24/7 concierge, lounge space, and secure private parking. Deanestor provides a complete furniture and fitout service for both bedrooms and kitchens, working on major co-living schemes for some of the UK’s leading residential property developers and contractors. Its high specification cabinets are built for longevity and crafted using robust glue and dowel constructions which provide a modern yet durable finish for build-to-rent developments. The kitchens are all bespoke, offering developers a vast range of options, and are pre-assembled in Deanestor’s factory for consistently higher quality installations and to reduce work on site.

ROCCIA’s 2024 Trade Event packs a punch with the help of boxing legend Tony Bellew

ROCCIA’s annual Trade Event, which took place this month, was a knockout success, with the high-end tile specialist welcoming a record number of tradespeople from across the UK to its annual supplier showcase. The event, held at ROCCIA’s Preston showroom, provides anyone working in the kitchens, bathrooms and home building or renovating industry with the opportunity to speak first-hand with trade experts from ROCCIA and its key suppliers including Kelmore, RUBI, PCS, Genesis, CT1, Dural, Tile Rite, BAL, Schluter Systems, First Trace and BAL/Ardex. But there was another special guest that visitors to the show were keen to meet, former WBC World Champion (and I’m A Celebrity star) Tony Bellew. Tony has become a familiar face in the ROCCIA showroom, as a valued client, and was on hand to oversee the ROCCIA ‘punch machine challenge’ which saw individuals battle it out to demonstrate the strength of their punch. Attendees also got to find out more about the latest adhesives and tiling tools with live demonstrations throughout the day. The event also raised more than £1,140 for the Rosemere Cancer Foundation a local charity which supports world-class cancer treatment throughout Lancashire and South Cumbria, funding cutting edge equipment and supporting innovative ways to take the fear out of cancer for patients and their families. Anyone who donated £20 to the charity received a ROCCIA Gift Bucket full of goodies worth more than £55 and were entered into a prize raffle. Commenting on this year’s event, Jonathon Stopforth, Trade Account Manager at ROCCIA, said: “We’re committed to supporting our trade account members year-round with the best service, exclusive products, offers and expert advice, but it’s fantastic when trade customers as well as suppliers get together for our annual ROCCIA Trade Event to enjoy networking, learning and freebies. We were delighted to welcome back familiar faces to the event as well as meet some of our newest trade members. “The day was a great opportunity to celebrate our ever-growing trade community and for industry experts to showcase what’s new; sharing best-practice advice and tips on everything tiles, kitchen and bathroom fitting. Our ROCCIA trade team were on hand throughout the day to explain more about ways to save time and money when fitting tiles within client’s homes and commercial properties. “There was a real buzz around the business, and we were glad to welcome more visitors than ever before as the event goes from strength to strength. “Congratulations to all of the winners on the day – especially Gaz Fenton who got to take home the Tony Bellew signed gloves. And thank you to Tony for helping us to make it a great and fun event. His unique blend of sportsmanship and motivational insights left us in awe of what he’s achieved.”  More information can be found at www.roccia.com Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

enduura® kitchen from Keller

enduura® kitchen from Keller

Keller Kitchens introduces bio-based kitchen Keller has delivered a first for the kitchen market; a bio-based kitchen. enduura® is exceptional because the material used is not readily available in the market. By bringing together complementary suppliers, Keller has created a bio-based interior panel suitable for mass production, from their own manufacturing facility in Bergen op Zoom, The Netherlands. With the introduction of the biobased kitchen, DKG takes an important step towards its goal: 100% bio-based products by 2030. The base material is MDF which comprises residual streams from the wood industry. This means that no trees are cut down for its production, thus avoiding extra CO2 emissions. In addition, conventional MDF contains a binder made from fossil, environmentally-harmful materials. With the enduura®, the binder of this super-sustainable kitchen comes from organic residues from the food industry; namely sunflower seeds and rapeseed. These resources are completely renewable, while the protein concentrate from these seeds has been found to work exceptionally well as a binder for sheet material in the interior industry. The top layer is a HPL (high pressure laminate) made from kraft paper and a bio-based resin in place of phenolic resin. This makes the kitchen free from phenol and formaldehyde which is a chemical that emits an unpleasant odour which is harmful. Kraft paper, already widely used for biodegradable packaging, is made from the pulp of coniferous trees, which are more sustainable as they grow much faster than deciduous trees. The applied organic resin is made from bagasse fibre, the residue of sugar cane once all the sugar has been extracted. The result is a bio-based sheet material made from renewable raw materials that are much less burdensome on the environment than traditional materials. Because they sequester CO2 during their growth and because production is often more energy-efficient than with traditional materials, the CO2 footprint is substantially smaller while, thanks to the application of HPL, the kitchen will last at least 25 years. Currently, Keller, in The Netherlands, operates a circular process for kitchens made of chipboard. Old kitchens are collected and converted by the circular processor into new raw materials for the company’s largest chipboard supplier. Keller is now investigating how the biobased kitchen can be collected to make new raw materials.

AKW Opens Manufacturing Facility and Showroom in heart of the North West

Nick Parsons, Executive Chairperson of AKW Holdings Group, Clare Hayward MBE DL High Sheriff of Cheshire and Cllr Simon Whittaker, Mayor of Middlewich opened a new AKW manufacturing facility in Middlewich, Cheshire. AKW, one of the UK’s leading providers of accessibility solutions, is pleased to announce the opening of its sizeable new showroom and manufacturing facility in Middlewich, Cheshire. AKW is proud to continue investing in British manufacturing and the 26,000 sq ft facility will produce accessible bathroom and kitchen products from across the company’s portfolio. In addition, the site includes offices and a large bathroom and kitchen showroom and client assessment centre, to enable Occupational Therapists, contractors, and other specifiers in the North West to experience AKW’s product range in situ and receive product training as needed. Following the acquisition of Contour Showers Limited in 2022, it quickly became clear that the existing Contour facility in Winsford would not be able to meet AKW’s manufacturing requirements.

Located three miles from junction 18 of the M6, AKW’s new facility is EPC A-rated and features roof mounted solar panels which will generate an estimated 15,000 kWh electricity per year for the site. Alongside AKW staff, all of the Winsford site’s employees have made the move to the facility and a fuel allowance, free transport service and hybrid working have been set up to make the transition easier. Nick Parsons, Executive Chairperson of AKW Holdings Groupcomments: “The opening of this showroom and manufacturing facility makes AKW the largest producer of bathroom and kitchen adaptation solutions in the North West. We are very proud of the reputation that AKW has built up over the years for providing high quality inclusive bathroom and kitchen solutions that stand the test of time. With the opening of the Middlewich facility, now even more installers, specifiers and end users across the region will be able to experience the exceptional AKW and understand why our strapline is ‘Life Made Better’.” To find out more about the new facility visit https://akw-ltd.co.uk/akw-opens-parsons-house/ Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
