Elevations
What’s Included in Our Elevation Drawings?
Our Elevation Drawings provide a comprehensive view of the building’s exterior, and are an essential tool for architects, builders, and clients to visualize the final design. The key components of our elevation drawings include:
Front Elevation
The Front Elevation shows the primary view of the building from the street or access point. This drawing captures the architectural style, entrance features, windows, doors, and exterior finishes. It is critical for understanding the building’s first impression and for ensuring the design fits within the surrounding environment.
Key Features:
- Main entrance, windows, and façade design.
- Material finishes and color schemes.
- Proportions and alignment of building features.
Rear Elevation
The Rear Elevation illustrates the back side of the building. It often includes details of functional elements like rear entrances, service areas, or landscaping features. This view is essential for understanding the building’s layout from the less-visible side and for planning any exterior modifications.
Key Features:
- Rear access points and service areas.
- Window placement and roofline details.
- Functional elements such as utility or service rooms.
Side Elevations
The Side Elevations provide a detailed view of the building’s left and right sides. These drawings reveal aspects like the placement of windows, doors, structural components, and roof pitch. They are essential for understanding the massing of the building and how the design interacts with neighboring structures.
Key Features:
- Clear view of the building’s profile, roof design, and window placements.
- Structural elements such as columns or exterior walls.
- Relationship to neighboring buildings or site features.
Detailed Elevation Views
Our Detailed Elevation Views focus on specific areas of the building’s exterior that require more detailed attention. This may include custom features, unique design elements, or architectural accents that require further elaboration for construction.
Key Features:
- Close-up views of custom architectural features (e.g., decorative columns, balconies).
- Detailed representations of material joints and transitions.
- Enhanced views for complex design elements.
