MATERIALS
COLORADO RESIDENTIAL
Colorado Residential is a project where versatility, modernism, and repurposed materials come together to create a harmonious concept, achieving an eclectic paradise where the client feels energized by every selection made. With Chief Architect X15, I could create a comprehensive residential design by mastering tools for precise space planning, detailed customization, and advanced visualization. The software facilitated both initial concept development and client presentations through virtual walkthroughs. Through Chief Architect X15, I could support the customization of architectural details, from intricate moldings to bespoke cabinetry, while providing tools for accurate material representation and realistic rendering. This enabled me to produce detailed construction documents and visualizations that effectively communicate design intent and meet client expectations.
