Real-scale

Real-scale drawings enable us to simply take a stroll through our projects, even before they are built.

Architecture is not an abstract geometrical size, but something concrete that relates to our bodily existence and the world around us.

The ability to visualize the unbuilt is an important part of the architectural profession: Both in order to evaluate – and communicate concepts and solutions. However, the bodily sensation of scale or the notion of simply walking through a room cannot be experienced through traditional 3D visualizations or scaled models.

For the last 15 years, we have been conducting real-scale drawings in our backyard to ensure a greater understanding of the size and proportions of our projects.
