Flat File Sample Project

High-density flat file cabinet systems with BIM-ready Revit families for artifact and archival drawing storage.
Zoned layout separating collection storage, worktables, and secure access points for preservation-grade efficiency.
Integrated casework, counters, and specialty storage designed for museum and cultural institution standards.
Optimized circulation paths supporting staff workflow, artifact handling safety, and future modular expansion.

Ideal for housing archival drawings, historic maps, textiles, prints, and oversized documents, this BIM-ready environment prioritizes organization, protection, and controlled access within a professional collections management setting.The layout features multiple rows of flat-file cabinets for horizontal artifact storage, perimeter casework for cataloging and preparation, and centralized worktables for review, documentation, and conservation activities. Dedicated zones allow staff to safely handle materials without disrupting primary storage areas. Clear circulation paths and strategically placed access points enhance operational efficiency while maintaining collection security.Fully developed with accurate Revit families, this sample project enables architects and BIM professionals to evaluate cabinet spacing, storage capacity, ADA access, and workflow efficiency. The parametric Revit model supports easy adaptation for different room sizes, collection types, and security requirements. Whether used for early-stage planning, client presentations, or construction documentation, this museum storage room provides a practical, BIM-optimized foundation for cultural facility design.
