The wonderful Ridge House project. This project got started back in 2013, and although there were some hardships along the way (getting it through the city.. and dealing with some neighbors that weren’t a big fan) it is going to be a great project that we are proud of. Now we are here a little…

Project Intro: Castle Pines: Feasibility Study
When many of us think of architecture, we often think of napkin sketches and beautiful hand rendering (I’m kidding, does anybody do hand rendering anymore… WE DO!! #MAST); BUT, surprise, surprise, Architecture isn’t always about the “fun stuff”.

Project Spotlight: Dude, where’s my column?
Previously in our REVIT tutorials, we were looking at how to construct a base model using drawing information provided by the Client. This can be a difficult task depending on the quality of the information you receive. Is there a survey? Are they AutoCAD drawings? Are there multiple sets? Are there discrepancies? After a certain…

Hollywood Hills: Here Comes the Sun
After studying the visual impacts the new second story addition would have on the neighborhood (see Hollywood Hills: Visual Impacts) with the installation of story poles, the impact of light and shadow came into question. Would the new second story affect the natural sunlight in the surrounding homes and yards? If so, when and how…

Hide and Seek: “Can you see me now??” says the RIDGE-house
Lets play Hide and Seek… One of the primary design concerns for the development of the RIDGE-house was its visibility from a defined Scenic Corridor in the city. The 2-dimensional drawings were used to create a 3-dimensional model using Revit (our firm still primarily uses AutoCAD to produce all design drawings… perhaps a discussion for…
