Designing a New House

 I am working on the design for a new construction on a square, flat lot. The last couple months have been all about site and program analysis and gathering information and a "feeling"... There were meetings to discuss what the clients want from their future home and research into zoning and other regulations as well as walking the lot and taking note of the natural and man-made site features of the property. (like the 200 year old sugar maple tree I decided we really needed to work around!)

After all that fact finding (input in) my architect brain put this out. It's not going to be the final design (we met yesterday and already have a few tweaks to make) but it was fun to create both the design and this sketch-up model and animation and I wanted to share.
