Fly Through Animation of the Proposed Self-Sustainable Community Development | The Schematic Design Presentation

The is the flythrough animation of the Proposed Self-Sustainable Community Development Project. The aim of this presentation is to give an initial impression of the proposal and evaluate further if the design intent is implemented. 

The Schematic Design Presentation

In this stage, the architect, based on his expertise and experience, gives his best interpretation of the design intent of the project, were, prior to accomplishing this, undergone so much time to come up with the overall impression through the use of 3d modeling of all the structures needed to achieve a self-sustainable community.
The flythrough animation ties everything together. There is more documentation submitted which will support the conceptual designs. The master plan, the individual plans of each of the buildings with 3d models and rendering of different views as shown in these examples below including those that were designed as we further develop the design:



The Early 3d presentation 

The practice of architecture is in this particular project involves so much revising and refining of the design as we progress. You can see how the designs evolved and improved through time. 





The design intent is to provide a commercial and residential structure that will be open to lot buyers who can incorporate their businesses within. The allotted lot, which is basically adjacent to the main road, is a good business strategy to reach a captured market within the vicinity. 
Upon survey of the site, the proposal intends to incorporate facilities that are not available and provide activities that will welcome neighborhood and provide trades and income opportunities.

The Master Plan

Overall, there will be a combination of Commercial, Residential, Recreational facilities in this development. 



The Development will come in 3 phases. The first phase will be the Self-sustainable Community Development project shown on the fly through animation. The next part will be a bigger area as shown. You can read related articles here: Subdivision Planning

Tips for Finding a Model House

Understanding Your Needs and Budget:

Before diving into the search for a model house, it's crucial to understand your needs and establish a realistic budget. Consider your lifestyle, family size, future plans, and any specific requirements you may have. Assessing your needs upfront will help narrow down your options and prevent you from overspending on features you don't need.

Researching Model House Designs:

With a clear understanding of your needs, begin researching model house designs that are suitable for a 100-square-meter lot. Explore various architectural styles, layouts, and features to identify what resonates with your preferences. Look for designs that prioritize space optimization, functionality, and efficiency without compromising on aesthetics.

Consulting with Professionals:

Seeking guidance from architects, designers, or real estate professionals can provide valuable insights into the feasibility of different model house designs for your lot size. Professionals can offer expert advice on zoning regulations, building codes, structural considerations, and customization options to ensure that your chosen design meets all requirements and specifications.

Considering Space Optimization Techniques:

Given the limited space available on a 100-square-meter lot, it's essential to prioritize space optimization techniques to make the most of every square meter. Look for model house designs that incorporate innovative storage solutions, multi-functional spaces, open floor plans, and strategic placement of windows and doors to enhance natural light and airflow.

Exploring Modular and Prefabricated Options:

Modular and prefabricated homes are becoming increasingly popular due to their affordability, efficiency, and sustainability. These pre-built structures offer a wide range of customizable designs that can be tailored to fit your lot size and specifications. Explore modular and prefabricated options to streamline the construction process and expedite the realization of your dream home. Maximizing Outdoor Living Space: Evaluating Energy-Efficient Features:Reviewing Neighborhood Restrictions and Covenants: While the focus is often on interior design, don't overlook the importance of outdoor living space, especially when dealing with a compact lot size. Look for model house designs that incorporate features such as rooftop gardens, balconies, patios, or courtyards to extend your living area and create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Incorporating energy-efficient features into your model house design can help reduce utility costs and minimize environmental impact. Look for designs that prioritize energy-efficient appliances, lighting fixtures, insulation, and HVAC systems to enhance comfort and sustainability. Investing in these features upfront can lead to long-term savings and a greener footprint. Before finalizing your decision, thoroughly review any neighborhood restrictions, covenants, or homeowner association rules that may impact your choice of model house design. Ensure that your selected design complies with all regulations and guidelines to avoid any potential conflicts or setbacks during the construction process.

How to use Sketchup



Learn How to use Sketchup starting with your own hand sketch.

This video will teach you how to import the sketch and improve everything to sketchup, work on the 3d model and create your own 3d rendering presentation
This is part of the tutorial in our Udemy Class. For those who are seeking for a way to use Sketchup as their platform in design Conceptualization and Presentation, this is video will give you the idea on how to use sketchup. As you go along, you will learn how to develop your skills in designing.
Architectural Designing and Conceptualization 

Think of how you will organize your 3d model when you are doing your conceptual design starting with the handscketch of the plan layout. 

The plan layout can be done manually. Using a scale and the grid system, spaces can be adjusted and arranged while doing the sketch.

The architect's sketch is done to organize according to the arrangement of the required spaces. Using sketchup is the next step to start working with the 3d model. They 3d model will be refined and done accurately. The Sketch will be a guide in the initial layout. 

Use Sketchup Layout

Most people ask question on "How do I use sketchup layout?" Sketchup layout is a feature in Sketchup that will help you organize the drawing requirements of the project you are working.

A Hospital Design Concept Proposal using Sketchup

Using Sketchup to visualize the hospital design concept architecture is the fist stage in the design process. The 3d model of the Proposed Hospital is an good example to showcase. At the Initial stage of the project, 




A Schematic Design is submitted to the client. Plans and  Perspective views are the most essential visual presentations submitted to the client.

Sketchup is in action to complete this design proposal. In our own design practice, this is the  most effective tool to create presentations. It is fast and reliable and can be exported to cad for production of drawings






It can also be exported to Lumion to make the final rendering more photo-realistic like this example which is another project highlight. Each of these rendering are widely acceptable and used in a different stage of the design process. This can be used as a marketing promotion tool of the building management operating the Hospital. To attract more people to visit the place whenever it is in full operation.



Here are some outlines to consider using sketchup for architects doing their hospital sketch drawing or any architectural design ideas. Here are some more examples:

These presentation create a good impression on the design and the artistry. More easy to convey the design concepts and ideas to the client. 

Though architects are in born artists, some can still go with the sketches in the conception stage of the design. sketches then transferred to sketchup and make an amazing outcome to the presentation. Architects still have to maintain the impression they created with their past, present and future clients. 
This will leave a strong impact to the client and might as well consider their recommendation to new clients they know. 


How Effective is Sketchup in Visualizing a Design?

There are numerous software to use in 3d visualization, but Sketchup is widely used by architects to create a design proposal. It is super easy to use and it has the "artist touch". Editing is easy and the presentation is very satisfactory both to the architect and the client.

There are a lot of advantage using Sketchup.

  1.  It is easy to lean and easy to use
  2. The presentation is amazing and very versatile. There are differents styles of presentation to choose from and scenes can be saved while work is in progress.
  3. Easy editing and straight forward tools 
  4. Well Organized presentation from 2d to 3d models
  5. Layout can be used to produce drawing documents
  6. Photo realistic renderings are also achieved using 3rd party rendering softwares like Vray, Lumion, Maxwell and many other extensions compatible to sketchup.
  7. Animation or the walk throughs can be shown using the scene tab in real time. This can also be saved as a movie file to be sent to the client online to show the progress of the design proposal.
Online course in sketchup is now available at Udemy.

 







2d Layout are also completed when you complete the 3d model. 

Organizing the 2d drawings are done in Layout. Layout is another feature in Sketchup that is very useful in drawing documentation. As you continue to explore sketchup, you can formulate your own process in organizing the 2d and 3d presentation. 

This Site Development Plan is an example of 2d layout. This is automatically done inside sketchup. Architects can review the site plan and editing are done instantly. 

Shadow casting is also available to determine the actual sun orientation that is one of the major consideration in the design process. Hospital Planning can be very critical that is why areas should be arranged in such a way that it will take advantage of  natural sunlight as well as avoiding sunlight in some areas. 

Hospital Planning requires careful study and analysis in grouping the required areas. Sketchup mimics the real world. Sun path at different time of the day, and the effect of shadings and casting of shadows can easily be determined.




These are just few of the most important features in Sketchup.

Here are some of the styles:








There are more features and usefulness of sketchup that you can really depend on. Its really the architect's friendly tool. Learn Sketchup and take advantage of its usefulness.
