Architectural modeling for a proposed addition

SketchUp Modeling

I worked for a local architect to create a Google Sketchup model of a proposed addition she was working on designing with a client. I used her architectural drawings to create the model, which she used to show her client what potential design ideas would look like as part of the house. We went through several changes in the design, adding more depth to the window bay and adding additional overhang to the roof over the addition. This was all very simple SketchUp work, but was valuable experience to see how modeling works into the process of planning an architectural project.
