Sketch it Up

I can do 2D documentation in colour, and also in the traditional black and white format.
It depends on the client, the designer and who the detail is for.
If you have a format or template, I can follow it.

This was an exterior refresh to ensure the facade matches a large interior renovation happening inside.

This is a finished design concept.
My role is like a painter - a finishing role.
What I don’t get to show is all the work by the designer to get to this point, but sometimes I wish I could show the original space and effort it takes by a designer to got to this point, but it’s not mine to show.

My role is to create the images for the designers to present their concepts in the best way possible.

So here are three images that showcase this design. But I see so much more heart and soul designers put into this one image.

AI continues to be moving at breakneck speed and now I’m Canva you can create these moving images from a photo. I appreciate other apps can do ithis , but I was surprised when I found this option in Canva.

What’s the saying “from small things big things grow” or something like that.
Design Scope- a 1980’s structure - needing a total interiors refresh.
✅ 80% of my projects start w hand drawings and for all sorts of reasons. It’s immense fun working on all the different projects scopes I am engaged for and all the different needs each designer has. This designer already knows Sketchup but prefers to keep creating these design concepts and outsourcing the build to sketchitup. .

This brief overview of a lifecycle in 5 seconds also illustrates 4 different type of scope an Interior Designer might need.
1. 2D- converting an old plan to new 2D Design Concept for quoting purposes or space planning

2. Basic model concepts in black and white prior to aspecting finishing textures

3. adding textures for client to visualise your design concept and make adjustments and revisions

4. presenting the final Design concept as a Virtual Render.

👀 This modern extension had a few tweaks to the exterior after the client got to see 3D images- this was round 2- which is exactly why this tool and visualising concepts is sooooo important for those aren’t trained or can’t see in 2D - which is a majority of us!

A lot of projects scopes start w hand drawn plans and designs like this plan- AND THATS COMPLETELY 🆗.

The end product is what we should be judged on, not the steps to arrive there.

This project scope was a first floor layout revision, light textures refresh and all new furnishing plan.

An older home that had no original floor plan. This hand drawn plan was all we needed for a start plus photos.

Step 1 - “Design Concepts” created in Sketchup as part of the client presentation.

Once design concept is approved, Sketchup can provide 2D Detail for the joinery and finishes to receive quotes.

If only you could see the B4’s on this coastal holiday home which was due a refresh.
