Here@Hayne we like to find new and better ways for everything we do. We normally keynote floor plans, sections and exterior elevations and then use text notes for details and interior elevations. Recently, in our bathroom remodel project I used keynotes in the interior elevations so that I could tag elements quicker since I had…

Rub-a-dub-dub we made a Tub!
We recently started a quick turnaround project here at Hayne for a bathroom remodel. Plumbing fixtures are already selected and ordered, so now we need to double-time it and get our construction package complete and to the contractor… Hopefully, they haven’t started demo yet… Looking through the specs, we have a few items that do…
We are Thankful For … Digital Submittals
We historically go through A LOT of paper! If one good thing came out of the COVID chaos, it has been DIGITAL SUBMITTALS (and our internal effort to do more digital)! Here is a sample of how a few jurisdictions we work in address digital submittals (some are better than others…). LA City (LADBS) LA…
Software Spotlight: Revit 2024 & Toposolids…
As you know, we recently updated our Revit software to the 2024 version (see our Twin Motion and Twin Motion versus Enscape posts) and one of the new features is Toposolids. What is a toposolid? Well, it’s a topo surface that is solid of course! Ha! Creating & Modifying the Toposolid Surface Creating & modifying…
The HAYNE Way: Drawing Changes through Phases
As a project progresses over time, the drawing sets progress with it. From Schematic Design to Construction Documents, each drawing set becomes more informative and descriptive about the scope of work. For example, all your projects may have the same base detail but a few of them have specific conditions around an arched opening or…
The Hayne Way: From Trace Paper to Presentation
Now we all know that Here@Hayne, we love Revit… However, there are times when the project is starting and different design options are still being explored. Revit has a design option tool but we find that it isn’t the most efficient way of working especially when walls and large parts of the building are going…
Design in the Details: Switching & Outlets
the standard: Leviton Decora (screwless) This is an excellent standard that we specify on many of our projects. It is simple and clean and comes in various colors so we can match adjacent wall finishes (although our most specified color is white…) to help camouflage the outlets and switches. You can also have the option…
Hayne Chit-Chats: BIM Modeling
*Setting the scene* Polli comes into work excitingly because she has thought of something that she thinks will make modeling in the schematic phase much more efficient. BLANCA! I totally thought of something that will make modeling easier when first working in the project! Oh! That’s awesome Polli! What did you come up with?…
As-hole Built Series: Me versus As-builts
A dramatic interpretation through Gifs… Every project starts with drawings of what exists. A lot of times we generate base drawings after we do a site visit to field measure and photograph existing conditions (which you know we LOVE doing…), but sometimes, our clients already have drawings for us to work with… or so we…
Working Together: Architect + Interior Designer
Hey Friends! As an architecture office we pretty much always have to be in communication with consultants to make sure the functionality of the project doesn’t disrupt the design. Whether it’s figuring out the best location for ductwork to run or resizing structural elements to fit the space, we have to work together! Especially when…
Product Spotlight: Water Works Bond Collection
Hey Friends! To tie into our last week’s post, we thought we’d share some of our Revit components that we’ve built. Back in 2020 we did a spotlight post on the Water Works Bond collection we had specified for our client. The collection is a very sleek and modern set with awesome textured finishes. If…
