The illusion of more space is just one of the benefits of #designing with #glass. https://loom.ly/llP8QbQ #CapitolGlass #interiordesign #officedesign

Most things are not designed. They are simply made. Consider architecture. If you take the time to look around—most buildings are ordinary and unremarkable. They make little to no impression. By contrast, I still vividly recall the experience of driving into the small parking lot directly beneath Santiago Calatrava's addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum, even though it was over 20 years ago. The building's massive, bleached-white structural ribs curved to the asphalt floor in rows. With the low ceiling, it felt claustrophobic, like the belly of a whale. A short walk from the car led to a set of stairs winding around the outside of a circular opening, immediately bringing you into the massive atrium's center. Light streamed across the expanse in linear patterns from the building's immense "wings" above. The contrast of moving between the two interconnected spaces was visceral and powerful. Graphic design is more ephemeral than architecture. Because design is not the elements you use—words, images, typography, color, shape, or form. And it's not the output you create—a site, product, identity, brochure, or campaign. It's far more powerful. Design is about the ideas you advance that strike a chord, solve a problem, change a mind, and make a difference. It's easy to say and hard to do. But always worth the effort. #design #strategy #creativity

🌟Perfect moments require perfect visuals. Let introduce to you this home - a small, two-story haven bathed in pristine white light, nestled amidst lush green forest🏡. The renderings are more than just images; they are your dreams in virtual reality🌐. They encapsulate the magnificence of architectural design, creating a visual experience that words struggle to convey. The visualization doesn't just showcase a house; it paints a picture of your future. If you're in search of your perfect home, the renderings can be the key to your decision.

🏡✨ At Grove Project Management, our design processes fuse vision and craftsmanship, where every stroke of creativity comes to life in the form of exquisite boutique infill condos and custom homes. We work closely with developers and property owners to ensure that the steps to turn a vision into reality have been meticulously planned and executed with precision. Below are just a few of the design process techniques we employ. 🏗️🎆 🎨 Mood Boards: Inspiration boards are crucial to capturing the essence of a space. Think curated collections of textures, colours, and materials that breathe life into our designs. From rustic chic to sleek modern, we've got a mood for every aesthetic palette. 🌈 Color Palettes: Colour is a powerful element for setting the tone for every space. Warm neutrals engulf you in coziness, while vibrant splashes infuse energy into communal spaces. Imagine a canvas where your lifestyle takes centre stage. 📐 Architectural Sketches: Architectural sketches are the birthplace of creativity and innovation in the world of design and construction. These hand-drawn or digitally rendered outlines capture not just the idea, but the practical steps and dimensions of the blueprint that will be used to physically build the structure. We invite you to follow our page as we continue this extraordinary adventure of transforming the communities we work in to desirable, harmonious spaces.

We all know that mirrors can make a room appear larger, but they can also be used as a design element to help complete whatever look you're looking for. A mirror can provide either contrast or balance when used correctly. It can also unify a space or serve as the focal point. #realtyworldrocks #gtownrealtor #centralkyrealestate #georgetownkyrealestate

I wanted to share my thoughts about a competitor's project which has been built near me. It features very prominantly on their website, but not the completed pictures. Instead they show series of fancy renders with large areas of glazing, dramatic double height spaces and lots and lots of zinc cladding. It's a pretty high end design. One will that would need a BIG budget to complete. But is that what's been built? Unfortunately not. There's no zinc cladding. It's a plain, white, rendered box. Tiny french doors at a standard height sit where all that lovely glazing should be. There may be some double height spaces but it definitely won't be as dramatic as it should be thanks to those aforementioned tiny doors. It's probably going to be pretty dark if I'm honest. I can see the clients have had to make a lot of tough choices to get the first phase of the project finished within their budget. It clearly wasn't enough to realise the designer's vision. I'd imagine, it's been pretty stressful for them to go from the design they've been sold on [and probably fallen in love with] to what they have now. And so unnecessary. Good design doesn't have to be expensive, but you have to consider the budget at the start of the design process. If the designer had considered the budget earlier, they could have retained some of the drama and wow of the original design but with a more modest material palette and a simpler form. If you're looking for an architect, don't be fooled by computer renders on a website. Look out for completed projects, strong client testimonials and a good cost management process that will help you to carefully manage your budget. These things matter. You might spend a bit more in fees to get this, but in the long run it will save you lots of time, money and heartache.... I don't want to give away any secrets to the practice's identity so I'm not going to share any images of the renders or the completed build. Instead, here's a shot of my own extension which is just round the corner and looks more or less [albeit a bit more unfinished than I'd like] as it was designed to. #NotesFromASmallPractice #DreamHome #ResidentialArchitecture 📸 : Dug Wilders
