Light, shadow, depth. We’re all used to seeing the world in three dimensions.
For the uninitiated, reading two dimensional drawings, like floor plans and sections, can be hard to read and understand. They are good at showing relationships between rooms, but they don’t tell you anything about the overall shape of the building or how it fits on the site. In addition to standard architectural drawings, I use quick cardboard study models to explore and refine design ideas and communicate with clients and builders. Some models are at a small scale and focus on the relationship the building and outdoor elements. Other models are at a larger scale in order to show and explore different cabinet or furniture arrangements. Using models, I make sure clients can fully understand and take part in the design process. Summer:

A model equipped with a simple sundial is a powerful tool for studying and fine tuning passive solar heating and shading strategies. By tilting the model to adjust the shadow on the sundial, we can observe how sunlight falls on the building at any time of day on any day of the year. Model:
