One of the very first sketches I ever published on Life of an Architect was the section sketch of the master bathroom shower in my own house. The two people in that sketch are some of the architectural scale figures that I use all the time. Architects and designers frequently use scale figures to help illustrate scale.

Love the sketches too. link] Bob Borson I did the sketches on top of trace paper (like 90% of all my sketches) but I scanned these in and added some color in photoshop.

My office’s models tend to be study-work-in-progress, since I’m faster with an Xacto than perspective – and I detest how so many of my boss’s sketches faked the scale, and other sketches left a wall out and misled the observer/client.

I’ve sketched up a typical bedroom to help illustrate what I mean. In this sketch, I’ve rotated the bed 180° so that the head of the bed is opposite the entry and when the occupants are lying in bed, they have a clear view of the door. It’s disturbing and most people unknowingly try to avoid it.

I started that site as a creative outlet in 2010 when things around the office where I was working got a bit slow. I used to think the only thing an architect did was draft a pencil sketch of what was going to be built. I was able to achieve the other two goals, turns out they weren’t as difficult as I had originally imagined.

The sketch above is one of the very first ones I created when I started thinking about what sort of playhouse I would design this year. Pretty simple sketch and idea, but make no mistake about it, these playhouses can be deceptively complicated little buildings – at least they are the way I do them.

While this would get more use by an architect that tends to sketch more, I still believe that it is useful to any architect.

I still think sketch up is way easier, but just for 3d views. If I had staff, I would probably design in sketch up, and have “them” do the plans… too bad my staff can’t draw. I attach a photo of my staff Kyle J Marsh I love seeing the design come together like this.
