Using 3d visualization

We do all of our design work using Revit, a program that models the project in 3d & extracts views of the model to make the drawings.  It's a difficult program to learn, but it pays off huge dividends when it come to helping clients to visualize the project.

We just completed a design development package for this house, which is the stage in which we start to get more detailed about designing the interior finishes, cabinetry, fixtures, & the like.  Up to this point we've mostly been looking at floor plans & exterior views of the project.  Suddenly, the amount of information that the client needs to take in increases exponentially - the drawing set is now filled with schedules, lighting diagrams, interior elevations & the like.

For many clients it is difficult to assimilate all of the information in these drawings, and more challenging still to visualize the implications of what we are proposing.  So, in addition to providing the usual drawings, we use our 3d models to supplement the drawings with walk-through videos & perspective views.  See below for a new video of a house on the boards on the West Seattle Waterfront.
