After
an in-depth discussion about the scope and driving forces behind the
project, it is time to start designing. A huge difference
between us and other designers & architects is our use of three
dimensional computer modeling software. Instead of being
limited to working in two dimensions, the software allows us to sculpt
space in all three dimensions. This may seem relatively
straight forward, but to this day, many designers & architects
still rely on two dimensional drawings to show clients their
design. Simply put, we do not experience space in two
dimensions. The computer model allows our clients to actually
see the different designs three dimensionally. Being able to "walk-through" a project before
anything has been finalized is not only helpful in understanding how
the space would look and feel, but also helps to minimize any expensive
changes down the road.
By
working with the computer, it allows us to easily create images, floor
plans, as well as seamlessly integrate with other computer
software. This is extremely helpful during the design
process, where changes are constantly taking place, each affecting the
final product. In order to ensure that the design follows our
client's requests, we create a personalized web page where we post
images, Quick-Time videos, and PDF documents of the project for our
clients to look through. This allows our clients to review
the design on their own, making changes and providing additional input
where needed. The web page serves as a place where clients can
look at numerous design schemes at one time, pick and choose the
elements that appeal to them, and then provide us with precise feedback
as to which elements of the design worked for them and which ones did
not. We feel that this on-going dialogue with our clients
separates ourselves from other designers and architects and enables us
to deliver a better product to our clients. |
