ON-SITE MEETING: We will start with a brief overview of the project, including the timeline, the level of design required, and any questions you may have. If the project is out of state, we can typically handle the details through a video call, which will provide enough information to prepare a quote. The proposal will then be emailed to you.
PROJECT COMMENCEMENT: On-site measurements are usually completed in about an hour for an average-sized space. If you're outside the Portland metropolitan area, you can simply email me the measurements. Please also share any architectural drawings of the space, if available.
DESIGN INSPIRATION: Please provide any design inspiration images that reflect your style (e.g., from Pinterest, Instagram, etc.). If a 3D model is part of the project, kindly specify any elements (e.g., tile, flooring, paint) you’d like incorporated into the model.
FLOOR PLAN CONCEPTS: I will share two design concepts for your space. Depending on the scope of design you've selected, I'll either make any necessary revisions to the floor plan and provide dimensioned elevation drawings or send the finalized construction document. If a 3D model is required, I will begin that process once all revisions are confirmed and the design is finalized.
COMPLETION OF 3D MODEL: After the model is completed, I will provide an animation of the space along with Non-Photorealistic (NPR) still images. If photorealistic images are needed, I will include them at an addition cost.
Below are images from a primary suite renovation project, starting with 2D line drawings and ending with an animation video. The only item not shown here is the detailed 2D dimensional drawing, which will include measurements, specific materials, and fixtures.
The floor plan above represents the client’s existing bathroom layout. The following drawing shows the layout the client ultimately chose. Below, you’ll find the additional design concepts I explored for this project. At this stage, I use elevation drawings to highlight any areas that require more detail to ensure the design is accurately reflected.
The client chose to have a 3D model created for the space. The above is a non photo realistic image of the completed model.
After incorporating the client's chosen textures and design elements into the model, I created a section cut of the master suite. This helps the client visualize the layout early in the design process. I typically take multiple section cuts to give the client a clear view from all angles of the design.
The image above is a photorealistic rendering of the vanity wall. Since renderings take time to produce, I typically create them at the final stage of the design process—once the client has approved the design and no further revisions are needed. However, the above image, along with the next two, was developed earlier in the process to help the client explore different design directions before making a final decision.
Elimination of the existing window. Recessed space between the mirrors with a textured rain glass window for privacy.
Photo-realistic rendering of the shower and toilet area.
As mentioned earlier, the rendering process is time-consuming. For a quicker turnaround, I sometimes use lower-quality renderings. These images still provide enough detail for making design layout decisions while also reducing total design hours.
The above is a 3D animation of the design. I typically provide this either alongside or a few days before starting the photorealistic renderings.
