Those 3D models and renders were worth every penny. I commissioned them to help us decide on some materials - kitchen cabinet colors, how much pattern we want on our tiles - as well as to solve the great sunken living room debate. And they've been really helpful in that regard.
None of these are quite right but now we know we favor a darker cabinet, and a bolder tile.
They've also helped in a very practical way, by allowing us to spot problems we might not have noticed till the house was framed. These window sill heights make perfect sense from outside, but inside the master bedroom they are just wrong, wrong, wrong. I don't think I could get a wink of sleep in a room like this.
Much better to have spotted this now, before windows are ordered and the house is framed.
I have them working on two more little jobs. One is to figure out how we use the space in the roof deck: How much furniture will we need? What cabinetry should we plan on building? How should we organize the space so we can enjoy sunsets and also watch TV, not necessarily at the same time but maybe from the same seating area. And the other job is a walkthrough video of our entryway. We've been debating whether we close off the stairs (hiding the door down to the wine room), or keep them open tread (allowing more light in). A walk through video will help decide.
Adriana and her Upwork team have done an outstanding job turning our floor plans into something meaningful in 3D. And I've done a pretty great job convincing myself and Ash that this was money well spent. The honest truth is that playing around with 3D models and renders is just a really fun distraction from the necessary and boring work of analyzing construction quotes and gathering documents for the loan application.
