Hayne Way: A look at our Schematic Design Process

Revit Component Rating
Hey friends! Here@HAYNE we are Revit fans (with mixed emotions about some things) and thought it would be fun to rate the standard component library it comes with.

Project Spotlight: Mirror Mirror
As-builts are my favorite task … said no architect ever! But sometimes you do get to see some pretty cool/funky/strange/reflective spaces in their “before” state which make the future “after” that much more exciting! Take for instance our newest remodel project in West Hollywood… The current space is very chopped up and inefficient. I…

Best Practices: AutoCAD Drawing Templates
Efficiency if key for a small firm and drawing is what we do, so we should be good at it. Because of that, it’s important to have functional drawing templates to maintain office standards. It shouldn’t matter if the project manager is drawing it or the summer intern; the output should meet the quality and…
