About this asset

Designed for central gathering spaces, this contemporary circular bench Revit family features radiating timber slats and an inclined backrest around an open core. The geometry comprises a fully 360-degree radial seat platform framed by an inclined inner backrest. Radially oriented slats form the wide horizontal seating surface, terminating at an outer perimeter edge. The backrest angles upward and inward toward a flat circular capping ring, constructed from vertical-to-angled slatted elements. Beneath the seat, an integrated polygonal substructure features vertical post legs linked by horizontal perimeter stretchers, creating rigid support across segmented facets. An open circular central aperture accommodates structural columns, existing trees, or landscape planters.

The download is a 1.5 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load the RFA component directly into your project environment and align its origin over a central column, tree pit, or courtyard focal point. Seat materials, slat finishes, and support frame colours can be adjusted via standard family parameters. In plan views, the family provides crisp radial line-work, making it straightforward to coordinate clearance dimensions and pedestrian traffic paths.

Suited for exterior civic landscapes, botanical gardens, retail concourses, school quads, and hospital courtyards, this circular tree seat provides generous multi-directional outdoor seating. It integrates seamlessly into central plazas encircling architectural columns or mature shade trees, pairing naturally with concrete unit paving, bollard luminaires, and public planters during concept design through construction documentation phases.
