Experience the magic of Exterior Rendering, where designs come to life before the first brick is laid. #ExteriorRendering #ExteriorArchitecture #3dVisualization #ArchitecturalVision

Designing a building facade involves considering aesthetics, functionality, materials and environmental factors.

An essential component of our design proposals is the Selections Sheet. This crucial document provides a visual overview of the suggested furnishings and the project's intended style, featuring images of products, sketches, and design renderings. Its meticulous organization not only brings the design concept to life but also acts as a crucial point of reference throughout the project duration. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of the design elements among all involved, facilitating a seamless and effective design process. We're excited to share a few examples of our Selections Sheets from the recent Ohio Multifamily remodel that we highlighted earlier this week. Initiating your design journey with us begins with a simple call. The creation of Selection Sheets is a critical phase within the design proposal stage, following initial discussions and detailed planning. Are you prepared to get your next project underway?

CONCEPT IS KEY When it comes to planning renovations or extensions, the concept plays a pivotal role in shaping the entire project. It's essentially the blueprint that captures the vision, functionality, and aesthetics you aim to achieve. Think of it as the heart of your project, guiding decisions from design to execution. A well-thought-out concept serves as the foundation, aligning all aspects of the renovation or extension. It encompasses factors like architectural style, spatial layout, desired ambiance, and even the integration of sustainable or innovative features. By focusing on the concept during the planning phase, you ensure coherence and harmony throughout the project. It helps in making informed decisions regarding materials, color schemes, structural elements, and more.

Ideating is crucial, but it is at the construction site that the real stuff takes shape. While I am mostly on the drawing board conceptualising our designs, Raj Khosla divides his time between the desk and the site. Recently, at one of our sites, my inquisitiveness got the better of me, and I had too many questions for him. Sharing a few of those learnings about site execution for those who are having their first rounds on their sites - 1. Natural light is essential for any interior. Once on the site, you can see the building’s relationship with the sun and decide on fenestrations wherever needed. 2. Identify the dark spots where natural light is not possible, and plan wiring for the artificial lighting in advance. 3. Plan the finishes like plastering so it doesn’t interfere with plumbing and other services once they are in place. 4. The construction site is a place of immense learning. The more you spend time seeing actual execution, the more you will learn. #TheWorksInteriors #Site #Learning #Execution #Interiordesign #CollaborativeDesign #homedesign

As a building designer, I understand that the details in a building's design are crucial. These details not only enhance the aesthetics and beauty but also ensure functionality, safety, and comfort for the occupants. Precise and meticulous detailing in the design can prevent future structural issues, improve energy efficiency, and add significant value to the property. Therefore, the details of a building are the essence of any successful architectural project.

🏙️ Draw Like an Architect: Bringing Buildings to Life with People 👥 Step into the captivating world of architectural design, where buildings come alive with the stories of people and their interactions within the spaces they inhabit. Join us as our esteemed Design Consultant, Sam, unravels the art of incorporating human figures into architectural sketches, transforming them into compelling narratives of form and function. Let’s take a look at the proportions in the sketch. We divide the human body into halves. The top half is divided into thirds, the bottom half is then divided into another half. We can start simply outlining the human figure with basic shapes, getting a bit more detailed each time and move onto more free hand sketching with loose curves and dynamic lines. Why Include People? 1. Scale the Possibilities: Human figures give your drawings a sense of scale, bringing the building to life in the viewer's mind. 2. Function Meets Narrative: People are key to storytelling in architectural sketches, adding functionality and purpose and showing how a space will work 3. It’s fun: Sketching is a fundamental tool of any Designer, infuse your drawings with creativity, flair, and belief in the building and its use. How to Master the Art? 1. Scale Principles: Master the proportions to develop your unique style and character. 2. Wild Curves and Zany Lines: Embrace whimsy and highlight the organic nature of figures against the building's rigid forms. 3. Embrace Imperfections: Mistakes add authenticity and charm to your drawings. Be loose and quirky! Happy sketching! Sam King #architecturedesign #drawing #perspective #sketching #planning #rural

At Shelter Structures, we transform ideas into grandeur. Our 19.5x40m atrium event tents are a symphony of creativity and construction excellence. We went through detailed CAD drawings and countless revisions from concept to reality. These iterations are not simple modifications, but a dialogue in design, a dialogue between possibility and creativity. Client involvement goes beyond approval, they are an integral part of the creative process, ensuring the final product is not just a tent, but a realization of the client's vision. Unique to the design is the central frame – a free-standing structure complemented by a set of transparent tent fabrics that add a touch of elegance and modernity. The frame is chosen in gray and black, which adds a sense of modernity and perfectly combines classicism and modernity. The road to perfection is rarely smooth. From the first promotional email in March to the final shipment in October, this project was a testament to persistence and precision. From initial design drafts to fittings, every step is a critical milestone. #OutdoorEventConstruction #TransparentAtriumEventTents Content：https://lnkd.in/geJsrqnK Email: admin@shelter-structures.com
