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…
Tips & Tricks: How we organize multiple “sub-projects” in our digital files
We currently have a project with multiple “sub-projects” at different phases in design and construction. Our folder organization system typically files these sub-projects within the main project folder with no issues… For instance, a residential project broken down into two phases doesn’t become burdensome on the back end when filing or exporting drawings/specifications, but a…
Project Spotlight: DeMille Drive and the battle of the Whites
So many whites, so little time. Our DeMille Drive project with Eric Hughes Design is under construction and ready to pick exterior paint colors! Yay! And so, the battle of the white paints begins… Which will win?
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…

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: OLD CLUBHOUSE LIGHTING STORY
Our Old Clubhouse project is nearing the finish line and we are finalizing all the decorative lighting specifications to really make these updated interior spaces pop! Our interior designer HJH refers to lighting as jewelry and we couldn’t agree more! These office specification meetings involve our Ipads hooked up to our build.com accounts (see our…
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…
The Hayne Way: From PDF Spec Sheet to REVIT 3D Component
Every now and then, ok, more often than not, we are asked to place the chosen plumbing fixture (furniture piece, light fixture, specialty equipment item, etc.) into our REVIT model and are only working with a manufacturer’s specification sheet with 2-dimensional drawings. I know it’s hard to believe, but not every manufacturer has 3D components……
Things we LOVE: McMinn, Making it Real
Here@Hayne our McMinn Road project in Port Townsend Washington is moving from design development into construction documents, which means we are in the process of consultant coordination! First up, structure… First, we start with a red-line review, where we mark up the drawings to highlight key features and identify questions or areas with coordination issues…
Things we LOVE: Build.com
As we move through the design phases of a project it becomes necessary to start specifying actual products, typically this happens when we are in the Design Development stage of a project. When we work with a Client’s Interior designer, we typically just put together a “shopping list” for them to fill in and provide…
