To be successful in any field, professionals must stay ahead of the curve. However, in architecture these days, technology progresses so quickly that it’s difficult to be on the front lines. Virtual reality can transport architects and their clients into unbuilt designs and foreign lands.
It’s an all too familiar scenario: An architect enters a building for the first time and the space doesn’t quite match the vision of his design. However beautiful a static rendered image may be, traditional design visualization can only convey so much, even when the scene is rendered at eye level with furniture for scale.
Architect Todd Marolf knows the feeling.
“Owners still have to make a translation in their mind, in terms of how tall the space is going to feel,” Marolf said. “More often than not, the owner will go to projects and be like, ‘Wow! That’s a lot bigger than I expected.’ You still have those moments.”
This, he said, is where virtual reality, or VR, comes in — and others in the industry are starting to reach the same conclusion.
If your architect is not offering this VR, you are missing out. Headwaters Architecture is the only architect in Northern Arizona with virtual reality technology. It is super fun, very educational and communicates to the customer without confusion exactly how their project will look at completion.
Don’t miss out on VR. If you go to our website at headwatersarch.com and go to our blog you will be able to see what is called a “fly through” of some of the projects we have worked on and are currently working on.
Don’t forget to call Headwaters Architecture for your future needs: Where “Building Great Relationships, Builds Great Projects.”
