Great elevation drawings aren’t just about lines and shadows. They tell a story. The best elevations help you seeing space differently: They?reveal character – style, materials, and proportions. They reveal?context & connection?– interaction with surroundings. They reveal experience?– entry points, transparency, and spatial relationships. Dedicated architects refine their elevation drawing skills daily, turning sketches into masterful compositions. Want to take your elevations to the next level? Here’s how: ???Train your eye?– Study great examples and break down their proportions, rhythm, and hierarchy. ???Master line weights?– Use them intentionally to create depth and clarity, guiding the viewer’s eye. ???Embrace iteration?– Your first draft won’t be perfect. Sketch, refine, and repeat! Like any craft, both story telling and drawing improves with consistent effort. The architects behind these stunning elevations didn’t wake up with this skill —they built it. What’s your go-to strategy for your telling stories in your architecture drawings?

Well folks: we passed City Council unanimously last night for our 1-acre infill Townsend project with 20 for-sale townhomes and 8,700 SF of boutique commercial in downtown Edmond (Oklahoma City metro). Gearing up to break ground this spring. Boy this is going to be FUN!

One more to share. It’ll be our first arched stairway. I am beside myself—have been wanting to do one for a long time. They’re sleek and elegant and beautiful. Also: MVP cafe w/ the open window to serve courtyard and events. Only 100 SF. Quaint. Intimate. Charming!

Closer perspective of our upcoming project. These 3 buildings you see form a shared courtyard which will be the heart of the boutique coworking space. Shaping space with buildings is where the magic happens! Imagine walking down the sidewalk and seeing this? You can’t help but walk down it!

If you happened to see that video I recently shared working on final elevations and massing of our upcoming project… Check out the final stills from our immensely talented illustrator JJ Zanetta. The texture! The color! The feel! And the real thing, when we build it, will be even better.

The Ember - a new pocket neighborhood under construction at E. 9th St. and Boulevard - recently got a great shout out in Southern Urbanism This quote sums it up best: "The Ember replaces a nondescript single-family house on two acres with 23 living spaces—mostly cottages, along with five accessory dwellings."

Top LinkedIn Post of 2024! Can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store. Happy New Year!

The Ember in Edmond, Oklahoma, is designed so that all neighbors will feel part of the whole via a central gathering space.
