ON-SITE MEETING- Gather a brief overview of the project, timeline, degree of design needed and answer any questions you may have. If the project is out of state, a video call will usually offer enough information to quote the project. Proposal will be emailed to client.
PROJECT COMMENCEMENT- Onsite measure, this usually takes me an hour for an average size space. If you are not local to the Portland metropolitan area, you can email me the measurements. Please share any architectural drawings of the space you may have.
DESIGN INSPIRATION- Share any inspirational design photos that reflect your style (Pinterest, Instagram, etc...) For 3D model design, I request information on any specific elements (eg. tile, flooring, paint) that you would like reflected in the model.
FLOOR PLAN CONCEPTS- Two design concepts of the space will be shared with the client.
Depending on the degree of design the client has chosen for the project, I'll either make all revisions needed to the floor plan design and notate all dimensions and elevation drawings for the project and email a construction document to the client. If a 3D model is needed I'll start the process as soon as all revisions have been confirmed by the client and we have a set design.
COMPLETION OF 3D MODEL- Once the model is completed, I will share an animation of the space with NPR (Non Photorealistic) still images. If photorealistic images are needed I will provide them as well.
The following pictures are of a primary suite renovation project. The first photos are the 2D line drawings and it wraps up with an animation video. The only item that is not included below is the detailed 2D dimensional drawing, which will call out the dimensions, specific materials and fixtures.
The above floor plan drawing was the client's existing bathroom layout. The below drawing to the right is the layout the client ultimately went with. Below are the additional design concepts I played with for this project. At this time in the project I will use elevation drawings to call-out any areas that need a little more detail in order to reflect the design properly.
The client chose to have a 3D model created for the space. The above is a NPR image of the completed model.
After applying the clients textures and design elements to the model, I took a section cut of the master suite. This helps the client visualize the layout early on in the design process. I will usually take multiple section cuts to allow the client to picture all angles of the design.
Above is a photo-realistic rendering of the vanity wall. Renderings are timely so I usually only do them at the end of the design process when the client has signed off on the design and no further revisions are needed. The above and following 2 images were created to help the client decide the ultimate direction they wanted to go in for the vanity wall.
Elimination of the existing window. New recessed space between the mirrors with a mosaic tile backing.
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.
The rendering process, as I said earlier, is time consuming. So for a quicker turn-around, I will use a lower quality image rendering. The quality is enough to make any design layout decisions and it also cuts down on the total design hours.
Above is a 3D animation of the design. I usually provide this either at the same time or a couple days before beginning the photorealistic renderings.
