Tutor11-Elevations
What it is:
The elevations show the building face from every side. It helps me show the exterior scale, proportion, materials and features (The Details).
What you learn:
- What the building exterior looks like
- Which exterior materials you selected
- Which elevation has the most curb appeal
- What exterior ornament we designed (millwork, gutter, quoins, trim, lintel, etc.)
- Window and door proportions
- How grade affects the exterior
- How to light the exterior
Exercises we use:
Interaction:
- I email the elevation for feedback or confirmation
- You provide observations and I refine the design
- Ask your contractor for advice about material longevity and waterproofing details
