Design studio

Renderings

Before we build, we model the house and the new work in 3D and render it, so you can see the addition from the street, stand in the kitchen and choose the tile while it's still easy to change. These are design concepts for the kinds of houses we work on.

Every image on this page is a concept rendering, not a photograph of a finished project. Client designs stay private. How we design in 3D

Drawing, model, rendering.
