The Clarke family was looking for a kitchen remodel in their 1992 two- story home. The original layout of their home consisted of an L-shaped kitchen with a laundry closet and a half bathroom separating the kitchen from the dining room. Mr. & Mrs. Clarke were open to taking advantage of their family room and convert the space into a bigger and more spacious bathroom and laundry room. The character of the house will focus on a modern Scandinavian kitchen with a variety of textures and materials that will contrast with the muted green hues throughout the space.

Design Process:
Phase 1: A job site visit for plan review takes place. Design solution and/ or budget parameters may be selected/determined at this meeting.
Phase 2: Revisions/changes from Phase 1 are incorporated into the drawings. The floor plan is developed into a detailed set of working drawings, including elevation/interpretive drawings.
Phase 3: If required, a third meeting is conducted where the final project drawings and the contractual documents with product specifications are presented to the client for signature.
Phase 4: Once the design phase of the project is completed, the designer will work with our trusted vendors to procure, track and deliver all furnishings and products.
Phase 5: Specific decorative surfaces or equipment is selected for the project after the contract is signed.

Revit is a BIM Software that provides the user resources to create typical 2D documentation as well as 3D modeling environments.
Data Scheduling: Revit schedules provide designers with the ability to use BIM data throughout their projects.
Floor Plan
Space Program:
The Space program was a programming effort prior to space planning. After the space planning was complete, Revit calculated the difference between what was needed and predicted it in terms of square footage. This difference was compared to what was successfully implemented. Revit then highlighted the percentages so designers could ensure square footage needs were met.

Multiple Views: Autodesk Revit creates the interior design as a single model. The greatest benefit is that this interior model can be viewed from several different perspectives. There are floor plans, ceiling plans, elevations, sections, and 3D views available. The model does not have to be duplicated for every view keeping the project file simple. The main file is updated every time a change is made, and each view reflects those changes as well.
