3D Elevation Design
A. Conceptual Design
Initial Sketches: Start with hand-drawn or digital sketches to visualize the overall look and feel of the house.
Architectural Style: Decide on an architectural style (modern, traditional, rustic) that aligns with homeowner preferences and surroundings.
B. 3D Modeling Software
Software Selection: Use 3D modeling software (like SketchUp, AutoCAD, Revit, or Blender) to create detailed elevations.
Exterior Elements: Include all exterior elements such as windows, doors, rooflines, balconies, and architectural details.
C. Textures and Materials
Material Representation: Apply realistic textures and materials to surfaces (brick, wood, stucco, glass) in the 3D model.
Color Schemes: Choose color palettes for the exterior to enhance aesthetic appeal.
D. Landscaping
Site Context: Incorporate landscaping elements (trees, shrubs, pathways) into the 3D model for a complete view.
Outdoor Spaces: Design patios, decks, and other outdoor living areas in the model.
E. Review and Feedback
Client Review: Present the 3D elevation to the homeowner for feedback and make adjustments based on their input.
Finalization: Finalize the elevation design, ensuring it aligns with architectural plans and regulations.
