HOW CAN EL STUDIO HELP YOU ENVISION A SPACE?
WE MAKE DIMENSIONS COME ALIVE!
We are a studio well-versed in the latest developments in digital design, rendering, and fabrication technologies. Our process relies on constant iteration between design and representation; as such, we regularly employ tools such as 3D printing and emerging virtual reality platforms to envision space, test our ideas, discover new opportunities, and involve our clients in the design process.
In addition to traditional 2D drawing, our primary tools for client communication are diagrams, models, and renderings.
DIAGRAMS
Diagrams are an invaluable communication tool at every stage and scale of a project.

1. Program distribution within a multi-generational family vacation home.
2. Viewshed analysis for sensitive additions to a historic home.
3. A custom-milled railing transition.
4. A complicated sequence of metal attachments made simple in a cantilevered stair.
MODELS
Models are the design profession’s common ground: accessible and relatable to everyone!

1. Respectful additions to a historic home.
2. Relationship between existing home, addition, and site.
3. A custom-milled railing transition.
4. A stair and skylight make a slot between historic church and new parish center.
RENDERINGS
Renderings can be simple – to show conceptual massing, proportion, or orientation – or very detailed – with material, light, shadow, furniture, and feeling.
