Elevations are 2 dimensional profile views of a building. While plans show us what is happening in the horizontal plane, elevations show us what’s happening in the corresponding vertical planes. What needs to be understood is that the floor plan will always affect the elevations and vice versa, as there will always be a direct relationship between the horizontal and vertical planes of space. In this video, I go over my elevation design process from start to finish for a modern cabin that will serve as a live work space.

It’s no secret, building is expensive right now. Prices are up on materials, labor, and fabricated components, and controlling costs is getting exceedingly difficult for people building their home, some even having to postpone or cancel their projects due to budgetary constraints. Some individuals are looking to alternative building methods, while others are opting for cheaper materials to control costs. What if I told you there is a better and easier way to reduce and control the costs of your project? Starting a modern residential project in the pacific northwest?

A rainscreen is very simply a small, vented drainage plane on a wall system. While siding and other cladding systems keep bulk water away from the structure; wind, hydrostatic pressure, and imperfections in the cladding system will drive water behind the cladding and onto the weather resistive barrier (or housewrap), trapping the water since there isn’t a place for it to drain. If there are any tears or penetrations in the weather resistive barrier, this water will find a way inside. A rainscreen creates a small air gap between the cladding and the weather resistive barrier, which can be accomplished using furring strips, allowing any water to drain and dry.

Designing a floor plan is more than just a simple space planning exercise. It's an intricate 3 dimensional puzzle that has to be expressed in 2 dimensional space with many dynamic factors. Floor plans need to be site specific and client specific. In the Pacific Northwest, the site and local landscape usually provide a very strong source of inspiration, with each location presenting unique design opportunities. When designing floor plans it's crucial to be thinking in 3 dimensions, always referencing the topography of the site, the elevations and sections, and iterating often to create a refined, well thought out design.
