Home designer architectural vs suite10/30/2022 I voted new construction, because I lived in a very very old colonial home built around 1810 and even though I just loved the layout and the ambiance. The architect does the bit he/she's good at - the clients work through their ideas with someone who's patient and knows a thing or two and will show then possible end results until they are happy - the builder builds it ! It's a win win around !! Everyone Happy !!! Works extremely well ! Cheaper than getting the architect to do visuals, and keeps homeowner in the process - lets the builder get on and build knowing client has already tried the master suite in 15 different ways and THIS is actually what they now want ! So saves money on build as client won't make changes mid way through. I've worked with family's who have spent time with their architect who's come up with a beautiful building - then we drew up in 3D room by room floor by floor - to put in furniture, work out bed positions - with the home owner - specifically designed the kitchen, laundry, mudroom etc all to suit them and with them involved the whole way through ( and all via email !) and then the homeowner took these finished drawings back to architect so they could put the electrics and lighting and any other small modifications in - then the builder works off the updated architects plans with internal views to see how the client wants it to look at the end. The finishes are as follows: * steel panel in natural finish from supplier * steel panel with "rusticated" treatment * steel panel shiny * steel panel with paint splattersīrilliantly put across points !!! I have to say time spent getting the layout correct - is much cheaper when doing it in drawing form - than actual real life building - so spend double the about of time you thought you would going over EVERYTHING in drawing form - from 'where will I have a lamp table' - as then I know I need a socket to plug it into - and 'that seat has the best view so I might need an iPad /phone charger here' - etc etc etc. I used (4) different finishes for a guitar display for a client that has some valuable guitars. He also, has proprietary finishes he uses to get different effects for different kinds of projects. He used the panels on touch latch to hide storage. My favorite metal smith has whole walls that are metal faced in his home. So, if you do want a real metal application for something and you build a relationship with a metal fabricator then I think it will open more doors to you for considering a variety of products and items. Your intro to sources otherwise not known to you is probably going to be through a metal smith who quotes a scope of work for you. Metals and its many looks is a huge category of design to explore. I feel like though that architects and artists prefer the corten steel but, for budgets will sometimes settle for other materials that come close to the look. Kevin that is a phenomenal building! Yes, low or total lack of humidity here in Az has everything to do with a "rusticated" finish staying intact and being popular. Just starting to think about what I want to do when I retire! (I know, there's more to being a KD than just designing kitchens like we do here on GW - there's the whole "project" aspect - that's why I'm thinking about it!) That's a few years from now, so who knows what I will end up doing. I am also toying with the idea of becoming NKBA-certified and becoming a KD when I retire b/c I enjoy designing kitchens. (I've seen three of their plans so far - two from their contractor and one from a Cabinet Discounters - and I so hope they don't use those.what are those people thinking?) Their contractor gave them 3D views, so I thought I'd do the same. What prompted me to do it NOW, though, is that a friend asked me to work up a plan for their kitchen. So many people seem to be 3D visually oriented so I thought it would be helpful. OldBat2 - general GW use! While I've been using PowerPoint for years, I thought it might be nice if I can become proficient in a design product so I can use it quickly here and be able to show people what the design would look like. #HOME DESIGNER ARCHITECTURAL VS SUITE HOW TO#I'm still struggling with things like how to get a sink bigger than 24", how to make a plate rack with no doors, etc., but I will eventually get there! Update: I purchased Architectural and am learning how to use it.
