In this video, I’ll share my design process for starting a new architecture project. Using a standard Accessory Dwelling Unit that I’m developing and submitting for plan check, I’ll take you through the process from the conception of an idea using sketching and creating study models to translating the design into a digital massing. I hope this video can provide helpful tips and insights on how to start a project.
