A holistic approach to architectural design.
PERSONAL & PRACTICAL | Designing with 513 Shelter Designs is a personalized experience. Whether your project is an existing home, commercial space, or new construction site, the process begins with an on-site consultation to discuss your needs, goals and vision for your particular space. From there, we assess the possibilities in light of project location, structural considerations, and budget.
OPTIONS & VIRTUAL TOURS | Our unique design approach recognizes that there’s more than one way to reach the goal. Whenever possible, we provide two or more design options for your space. We do this because we realize that you are the best person to determine how you like to live and work. If the space doesn’t work for you, then it doesn’t work for us.
The biggest challenge that most clients face is visualizing a proposed design. In order to bring clarity and confidence to the selection process, we provide digital renderings and 3D virtual tours of every space we design. That means that you get to “walk through” your exact renovation or new construction project before a single contractor steps on site.
INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH | 513 Shelter Designs provides design services for a variety of projects. Once drawings are underway, it takes 4 to 8 weeks for you to receive your final design package. Here’s what is generally included:
Renovation & New Build Projects: You will receive construction prints including renderings, floorplans, elevations, sections, and details. A 3D virtual tour of your project can be shared with your contractors and friends.
Interior Design Projects: You will receive detailed floorplans, renderings, and wall elevations. A 3D virtual tour of your project can be shared with your contractors and friends. Additional options include product selections and purchasing resources for materials and goods.
3D Model & Virtual Tours: You've hired an architect but virtual tours are not part of their service offerings. Send us your architectural plans and style preferences, and we’ll build a detailed 3D model of your project and give you access to downloadable virtual tours.
Project Consulting: Already working with an architect or designer but would like another set of eyes and perspective on the project plan? We come alongside to help you review proposed design concepts and floor plan drafts. DIY project owners can find help with developing design ideas and choosing the best materials for the job.
