Modern timber backless bench Revit family for civic spaces, featuring a solid rectilinear slatted wood profile over a recessed support base. This urban seating element presents a clean, monolithic geometry characterised by longitudinal timber slats forming an expansive top and faceted side skirts. The thick block profile creates a solid, architectural appearance with subtle shadow lines dividing the wooden boards across the sitting platform. Structural stability is provided through a low-profile recessed metal base that yields a slightly floating appearance along paved plazas. Its generous seating depth functions as an uncluttered, double-sided rest station without backrests or arm supports, maintaining open sightlines across streetscapes and civic outdoor spaces.
The download is a 420 KB 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.
Supplied as a native Revit family component, the model inserts directly into site plans, landscape layouts, or ground-level exterior floor plans. Designers can adjust parametric length constraints to suit custom walkway dimensions and align seating blocks along hardscape axes. Materials can be managed via family parameters to schedule exact timber species and finishes alongside structural ground fastenings.
Ideal for urban plazas, public parks, corporate campuses, transit hubs, and educational courtyards, this backless bench supports spontaneous gathering in high-traffic pedestrian zones. It pairs naturally with modern street lighting, concrete planters, cycle stands, and permeable stone paving. Architects specifying park seating, landscape street furniture, or civic benches can deploy this asset across schematic masterplans and construction documentation.
