There are a lot of things we could have done to these perspectives but I thought it would be more interesting to see – the good and the bad – what you can get without having to export the file into a different rendering program. We created all the renderings of the project I am using in today’s post YESTERDAY! Since the process of using Revit is that the house is being created in 3-dimension, there wasn’t any special work we needed to do to create these perspectives. There are generous seating areas by both points of entrance … plenty of room to take a load off and remove your shoes prior to entering the house. It also helps support our LEED goals by having the garage detached from the main house. No coming in through a mud room or some rear garage the dumps you off by the utility room – nope. Our client for this house made a point that was very reasonable during the programming phase where he requested that his entry sequence to the house be the same as his guests. The mass you see on the left-hand side is a detached garage that will act as the owners main entry. The image above is an aerial perspective of the front elevation. This is a “ vegetative roof” and the pattern of the roof follows the line of the building line below. We are also planning on pursuing LEED for Homes Certification – which would explain why the roof on this house appears to be green. Good-bye Placeholders … I kind of loved you. This is something new for me to acclimate to because there is no “we’ll get to that later” … when you draw a window in the plan view, it shows up in the elevation view. For the most part, this is a one-story residence, but there is a small 2-story section where we slid a 2-car garage under a guest suite at the rear of the property to take advantage of the grade change.Īll of these images are directly outputted from Revit – and there is no faking what we haven’t drawn and what we haven’t designed.
This house is well sized at 2,500 square feet air-conditioned and sits on a 16,000 square foot lot that slopes down from the street about 8 feet towards the rear property line. The image above is an aerial view of the site for the KHouse Modern.
(note – you can click on any of these images and a new window will open with the images 2x larger) I’m not going to make this a post on Revit specifically but it does figure in heavily in how we now go about our business. That means when we draw an exterior wall, it isn’t just two lines, it is the entire makeup of the wall – the drywall, wood studs, exterior sheathing, vapor barrier, and exterior cladding material (like stone or brick). When you draw in BIM, we aren’t simply drawing lines, we are virtually building the building in 3-Dimensions.
MODERN HOUSE REVIT SAMPLE PROJECT SOFTWARE
This type of drafting software is more generically referred to as Building Information Modeling – or BIM – and I believe that it’s the direction that things in the architectural world are heading. “Revit” is a brand name for a drafting program that we use to prepare our design and construction documentation. Some of you will know what that means, but some of you will not, so let me give a brief explanation. I thought the timing would be good to show some of the progress we are making on the design and drawings. Technically speaking it’s only been 12 work days since that post was written but a lot has happened. Used to track the information of the embedded YouTube videos on a website.Just a mere 16 calendar days ago I introduced you to the next modern house I will be profiling here on Life of an Architect – the KHouse Modern.
