Concept drawings are a great way to visualize a small space within a home. Taking 10 minutes to sketch out perspective images of spaces within a home, paints a picture for those looking at floor plans. Feel free to share your concept drawings!

Favorite architect Favorite building designed by them My favorite architect is Frank Lloyd Wright. Falling Water is my favorite design of his! Limitations encourage creativity
"Never rue the limitations of a design problem - a to-small site, an inconvenient typography, an overlong space, an unfamiliar palate of materials, contradictory requests from the client... Within those limitations lies the solution to the problem! Does a steeply slipping site make it difficult to create a conventional building? then celebrate the vertical relationships is spaces with a fascinating stair, ramp, or atrium. does an ugly old wall face your building? Find ways to frame views of it so it becomes interesting and memorable. have you been asked to design within a site, building, or room that is narrow and overlong? turn those proportions into an interesting journey with a great payoff at the end." - Matthew Frederick All of us are faced with limitations. What you do with them defines who you are. Architecture is only one area where our fears of limitations prevent us from becoming the best we can be. Identify, challenge, and overcome your limitations! - Chris Eggenberger "The success of the masterpieces seems to lie not so much in their freedom from faults - indeed we tolerate the grossest errors in them all - but the immense persuasiveness of a mind which has completely mastered its perspective."
- Virginia Woolf |
