And you really can’t blame them for that. (Why not?) The owner drives the whole process and most of the time they are in a hurry. Everybody agrees this is how it should be done, but nobody does it. These are important decisions that can make or break whether the client decides to purchase a property.Īrjay West: It is never too early to identify your whole team and get them all together in a room.

The landscape architect will point out assets on the site such as views to emphasize or a specimen tree worth keeping. Other times, I will bring in the LA, very early on-at the point where the client is evaluating a lot for purchase.
Tom Flach: In a straightforward situation we may start without a landscape architect. When building a custom home, what’s the ideal time to bring the landscape architect into the planning process? We particularly wanted to know how the landscape architect contributes in the early stages of design when the home must be sited on the property. We asked residential architect Tom Flach and homebuilder Arjay West to talk about how collaboration affects the flow of construction and the eventual outcome of the project. The project landscape architect is Howard Cohen of Surrounds.
The home design is by Kohlmark Architects of Burke with construction and project management by Arjay West of Falls Church. The home design and landscape design can be integrated entirely to make the best possible use of the site for vistas and indoor/outdoor flow.Ī custom home building project in Oakton Virginia is a good example of the collaborative design and construction process. And that helps the designers to bring out the fullest expression of the homeowner’s wishes. A collaborative approach makes the best possible use of time and money. Is there a significant benefit to a homeowner when the residential architect, landscape architect, and homebuilder meet early in the design and planning phase of your new custom home? Yes. The client was very happy with the finished digital renderings of the home, and we are looking forward to working with Boot Ranch in the future.įor more residential rendering click here.Collaboration In Landscape Design & Custom Home Design Integrated design of landscape and home makes the most of all aspects of the property These fine details in our digital photorealistic renderings are what give our clients and their prospective buyers a true vision of what to expect when construction is complete.

We were asked to delineate the land in its natural state which is a mix of tall and short grass, sporadic trees and plants and some barren terrain. Our artists captured what the Texas Hill community describes as “the best of Boot Ranch” – the historically inspired architecture, privacy, and spacious country landscape in these photorealistic digital renderings. We have worked with Boot Ranch to produce multiple architectural renderings for their projects, and we are proud of the work we have accomplished together.ĭigital Architectural and Landscape Rendering The community prides itself on its southern hospitality, top-rated golf course, and amazing amenities for property owners and club members.
