I was responsible for this small building from concept design to completion, and my toolkit was the Sketchup and Autocad I brought along on my laptop, along with Photoshop. For my part, I continue to pursue the goal of "sketching with Revit", if only because it has given me so much pleasure for the past seventeen years.

Since a number of people don’t seem to understand this concept, I thought I would whip together some sketches to help illustrate my point. In order to reach all points on the site without damaging the trees, the contractor had to use a concrete pump truck with a giant arm on it. Love the sketches too.

This was one of the initial design sketches I did for this gable elevation design study. My sketch above is weirdly off because I drew in 4 garage door panels ( on an 8′-0″ door, there are typically 4 equal sized panels ). Whew – Thanks, Photoshop! The sketch above has a similar condition.

6:45am I had to sketch out a quick graphic image for my annual “ What to Get an Architect for Christmas ” post. A Christmas ornament seemed Christmas-y enough so I sketched it up, took a picture of it with my phone, brought it into Photoshop where I added some color, and then *BOOM* … the graphic was created.

I use Google Sketch Up to draw the 3D modeling and adobe Photoshop for the presentation. Kania put together a thorough set of drawings that the contractor could easily understand. weeks for wandering around from one to another shapes, then I decided to get back to the first Idea in about 3-4 days before the deadline.

Even thought this is a cost+ project, the contractor has prepared a budget bid price and we have made some revisions to save some money – most of which were structural changes. I still think sketch up is way easier, but just for 3d views. I attach a photo of my staff Kyle J Marsh I love seeing the design come together like this.
