This Revit structural column family features a masonry brick base supporting twin metal shafts, ideal for industrial-style interiors. The column assembly comprises a rectangular, stacked-bond brick base that transitions into two slender, vertical metal shafts. The base provides a robust, textured appearance, while the dual-shaft design adds a distinct geometric profile suitable for exposed structural elements. The transition point between the masonry and the metalwork is marked by a capped detail, ensuring a clean connection. With its combination of traditional brickwork and modern metal components, this element serves as a versatile structural support that bridges the gap between raw, industrial aesthetics and contemporary architectural design.
The download is a 379 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.
Designed as a native Revit family, this component allows users to load the file directly into a project environment. Professionals can map materials to the brick and metal surfaces via the type parameters to match specific project finishes. The family is typically inserted into structural or architectural plans and can be aligned with grids or reference planes. Users should manage the visibility settings to ensure the column displays correctly across various detail levels and view scales within their BIM documentation.
This column is well-suited for loft-style residential projects, adaptive reuse developments, or industrial-themed retail spaces where exposed structure is a design feature. It works effectively in open-plan living areas, mezzanine supports, or as a decorative structural accent in lobbies and commercial foyers. Architects and interior designers often specify such elements to define zones without using solid walls, maintaining sightlines while providing necessary vertical support. It pairs well with exposed steel beams, timber ceilings, and polished concrete flooring in modern interior schemes.
