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:

• Design Plan
• Inspiration Gallery
• Finish Schedule
• Electrical Layout

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
