Today, though a historically correct design is not a priority for most homeowners, some would want to include their favorite style elements. These may be as simple as a bay window or exuberant Victorian details on the home’s exterior.

Deciding what kinds of architectural elements you prefer helps ensure your finished remodeling project will speak your language.   You can incorporate them into your home using up-to-date materials and keeping modern lifestyle in mind.

COLONIAL

Colonial style includes houses built by the earliest English, Dutch, French, and Spanish settlers in different areas of North America.  Today, we associate colonial with the simple, rectangular houses of New England.  These one- and two-story designs feature elements borrowed from modest English houses of the 17th century – tall, peaked roofs: massive chimneys located centrally or at each end wall; sort eaves (or none altogether):  little decorative molding; no porch; and clapboard siding with narrow reveals.   Windows are arranged singly—never in pairs, divided into nine or 12 panes per sash, and symmetrically placed on either side of a central front door painted a bright red, green, or plum color.  More modern colonial variations include brick siding, a bit of classically styled trim, symmetrically arranged dormer windows, and a front door flanked by decorative pilasters or housed under a portico.

VICTORIAN

The Victorian Era includes many decades of fabulous house styles of the 1800s.  The forms we usually think of are the simple, graceful farmhouses of New England and the Midwest, and the exotic painted ladies of the West Coast.  Both styles, which have tall, peaked roofs and prominent porches, eventually were built throughout the United States and Canada. The familiar L-shaped farmhouses features clapboard siding and a wraparound porch with at least entrances.  Even the simplest farmhouse can’t resist a bit of decorative trim along the porch eaves, or delicately carved brackets at the porch posts.  The more demonstrative Queen Anne Victorian is one of the easiest styles to recognize, with its many gables, a turret or two, fretwork boards along the eaves, extravagant detailing, and exotic color combinations may include as many as seven or eight hues.  Clapboard siding is common but is often blended with bands of decorative shingles cut into fancy shapes.  A brick variation of the theme can also be done.

COTTAGE

Any small, informal house can rightfully claim the title of cottage.  The term usually identifies a number of quirky characteristics that we tend to associate with life in a fairy-tale house: a tall, peaked roof; a masonry chimney; a meandering walkway to the front door; large, multi-pane windows; and wood siding (shingles are a favorite).  A cottage frequently features overflowing window boxes and is surrounded by gardens with climbing vines or roses on trellises.  To complete the tableau, a cottage should be on a wooded lot, or at least have a few large trees and bushes close by to create the illusion of life in the country.

CRAFTSMAN

The craftsman style originated in California early in the 20th century.  Although it may apply to houses of any dimension, it has come to characterize the friendly, modest-size bungalow.  Craftsman style borrows elements of Japanese architecture recognizable in low rooflines with exposed rafter tails, and in beams or purlins supported by decorative knee braces.  If beams are not integral to the structure, faux versions are often added.  Craftsman homes feature wide, welcoming porches supported by pronounced columns set on tapered bases made of stone or stucco-covered wood.  Windows are often grouped in threes, with the upper sash of double-hung windows divided into two or three panes over a plain lower sash.  Similar to Prairie style, craftsman emphasizes nature with organic colors and use of natural materials, such as foundations veneered with the river rock found in the West.

SEASIDE SHINGLE

This 19th-century variant of the Victorian house sprang up in the form of vacation homes along the shores of New Englan.  Its primary feature is continuous shingle cladding that covers all exterior surfaces and is allowed to age to a silvery gray.  Today, long-lasting exterior stains reproduce this color while protecting the shingles.  The architecture is free-form and rambling, with wide porches, asymmetrical massing, and dashes of style such as dormer windows and half turrets.  Arches are popular expressions, appearing in windows or as recessed niches that protect doors.  Occasionally, the lower portion of the house is clad in heavy stone.  A Palladian window—tall arched window flanked by shorter, narrower windows—is a typical feature.  Grouping windows into threes is common.  When built within site of the sea, a Shingle home might include a window’s walk—a rooftop aerie for viewing the ocean.

PRAIRIE

The Prairie style emerged in the early 20th century and is largely credited to the vision of architect Frank Lloyd Wright.  The style takes inspiration from the flat landscape of the Midwest and emphasizes horizontal bands of trim.  Curves of any kind are rare.  Ribbons of casement windows are arranged in groups that share a prominent sill and upper casing.  On brick homes, only the horizontal mortar joints are recessed to produce shadow lines.  Large square columns support porches and entryways.  Chimneys are broad and flat.  The Prairie style celebrates nature with muted, organic shades of brown, golden yellow, and green.  Nature is usually incorporated into the design through the use of built-in planters and window boxes.

SOUTHWESTERN

The style known as Southwestern is more properly called Spanish Colonial, after the early Spanish influence in the American Southwest.  Key elements include massive masonry walls covered with stucco.  Small windows, sometimes with exposed timbers that form the headers; and large, ornate entrance doors made of wood add traditional Spanish flair.  The style often includes a central, open-air courtyard or wide, covered porch at grade level.  Low, gabled roofs covered in red-clay tile are successfully mimicked today by tiles made of lightweight concrete or metal.  Befitting the Catholic heritage of the early Spaniards, a niche designed to house a Christian cross is often placed on an exterior or courtyard wall.

image source

CONTEMPORARY

Contemporary design, sometimes called postmodern, deliberately breaks all the rules.  It tends to borrow elements from a variety of architectural periods and blend them into a one-of-a-kind creation.  Familiar materials such as rough-cut stone may be composed into sleek, curved walls.  Metals typically make a strong appearance in this style.  Steel and glass may be fashioned into shapes commonly associated with older homes, such as tall gable walls.  Frequently, contemporary includes elements from the Moderne and International styles that appeared in the 1920s and ‘30s—smooth, unadorned exterior surfaces, often stucco, that are accentuated by wide, curved corners and liberal use of glass block.  Railings around porches and decks are often fabricated of horizontal tubular steel.  Large panels of uninterrupted glass are balanced with distinctive accents—round windows, glass curved to match a corner, and small groupings of jalousie windows.

Have you ever noticed that homes built in the 60′s and earlier, seemed to sport more detail in their architecture? Wider moldings, archways, niches, built in cabinets and book cases. Details such as columns and corbels were used along with interesting room dividers and detailed doors. 

 

Builders of the 70′s found that by doing away with unnecessary detailing, they could cut costs and build more houses which increased profit margins. Certainly, that was a good “business” move, but left all of us with plain, unattractive rooms. Therefore, post 1970 houses lost that attractive “architectural interest” we now crave. 

 

With a new move toward focusing on indoor living spaces across the country, a trip to your local home outlet now yields a wide selection of ornate moldings, wood details for cabinetry and “do it yourself” doorway kits to bring that architecture right back in to our homes. 

 

Architectural detail is the “bones” of interior design and is usually the first consideration when contemplating a room make over. Typically, rooms are stripped of all furnishing and window coverings to reveal just what the room truly has to offer. 

 

With little of that detail added by builders, it’s up to us as homeowners to put it back. 

 

Cast plaster is one way of adding architectural interest to a plain room as are moldings, corbels, columns, fireplace mantles and further detailing created by attaching permanent fixtures to walls and ceilings. 

 

As our country has taken on a new attitude of conservation over the past decades, we are seeing more and more “faux” (fake) items being introduced to the world of interior decorating. One instance being new, highly ornate moldings made of resin. These detailed moldings appear to be carved and painted wood. Yet they are a plastic and wood material that holds up well to abuse, rot and insects, and is more durable and long lasting than common wood moldings. Similar material is being used to create exterior decking products. 

 

So how do you go about adding architectural interest to your room? Here are some ideas: 

 

Use 1 x 6 boards around the inside edge of your ceiling to create a “frame”. Fill any cracks between wood pieces with paintable calking or joint compound and smooth. Paint the ceiling very pale blue then paint the new frame the same color as your walls. This creates an instant “tray ceiling” that is so popular with new home builders and is an inexpensive, yet great way to add instant detail to the ceiling. Furthering the project by adding crown molding against the new frame at the wall level will add a more finished look.

 

 

Create your own easy columns: 

 

Create two square, open end boxes of pre-sanded wood that measures 6×6″ (You will later add a 6×6″ top to each of the boxes). One will be used as the column top, and one as the bottom. Before adding the tops to each of the boxes, attach a sanded 4×4 post in between them with heavy duty bolts. Add the tops to the boxes then stand upright and tap in place between ceiling and floor with a rubber mallet. Finish the top and bottom with crown molding then paint to match the wall color. Measurements of your 4×4″ post will depend on your ceiling height. Don’t forget to include the length of your combined column top and bottom to your final measurement. The entire column can now be further embellished with cast plaster ornamentation or Raised Plaster Stenciling for more detail. Shorter columns can be created in the same manner to be used as plant stands. 

 

Corbels are a fabulous architectural addition and becoming increasingly popular. These can now be purchase at your local home chain store or specialty websites (just do a search for corbels on the internet) or find super bargains on auction websites. Corbels come in many different varieties and sizes, and can be used under your fireplace mantle, under your kitchen cabinet ends, on the inside of wide doorways or to create unique door elements by placing them on the outside edge of a doorway or window, then adding a glass or wood shelf to the top to use to display collectibles. 

 

Even if you don’t want to go through the trouble of replacing your existing moldings, do look at the exciting accessories to moldings now found at your home store. These are wooden, corner accessories that add such interest to the corners of rooms and can be incorporated right in with your existing moldings. Straight versions of the same designs are available as well. I prefer to use them at the upper corners of door frames for an old “Victorian” look. 

 

There are many ways to increase the interest of your rooms. Enlist the aid of your local hardware store owner for more ideas.

Architectural CAD services are basically used to set up interior and exterior design for various building type like Residential, Commercial, Institutional, Hotels, Restaurants and Educational Institutions.

The main types of Architectural services that can be provided to clients are as follows:

·         3D Architectural Modeling

·         3D Architectural Rendering

·         3D Architectural Animation

·         3D Fly Through

·         3D Walk Through

·         3D Interior Rendering

·         3D Exterior Rendering

·         Architectural BIM Services

All the above phases are used for different purposes. For e.g. 3D architectural modeling allows one to visualize interior and exterior building designs including the landscape. Services in Architectural CAD can help set up proper interior elements like textures, wall colors, lighting arrangements, floor plan designs, landscape and water bodies etc.

3D Architectural Modeling-3D Modeling is the process of developing a mathematical, wire frame representation of any three-dimensional object. With the help of 3 D rendering services these 3 D models can be displayed as an image in print. The rendered 3d modelsare very expressive as they have real elements like shadows, sunlight effects and many others! Photorealistic effects make the images look realistic and are often used by architects / visualizer to in turn present to their clients.

3D ArchitecturalRendering– 3D rendering is the process that industrial designers use to visualize their ideas by creating three-dimensional images using CAD Software. 3 D renderingin architecture means absolutely creating photorealistic image of a residential and commercial buildings. The process of rendering is quitesimilar to photography or cinematography, because it helps in lighting and staging scenes and producing images. Unlike regular photography, however, the scenes being photographed are imaginary, andeverything appearing in 3D rendering needs to be created (or re-created) on the computer before it can be rendered.

With the help of 3D architectural rendering, complete scenes can be created either using virtual technology, or by placing 3Dimensional buildings into an existing photograph – also known as photomontage. As the rendering process is an artistic one, the simulation lighting, shadows, atmosphere, color, texture, and optical effects such as the refraction of light or motion-blur seen on moving objects could be designed to appear asa painting, an abstract image or a photo-realistic one.

3D Architectural Animation- 3D animation is the process to create a fast, effective and economical communication media for all. It also helps to create live animations JPEG files that can be shared with the clients across the globe. In addition to providing a view from any angle bringing a photo-realistic dimension to constructed or even idealized spaces, Walkthroughs can be created with the actual materials to be used, such as- interior lighting, landscaping, natural lighting and moving objects.

3D Flythrough- A fly-through allows users to view a model of a proposed or actual site as if they were inside it and moving through it.

3D Walk through- A walk through gives a clear idea to design and visualize the building to be constructed and makes one feel like walking into that particular building or virtual space.

3d walkthroughs and flythrough give liberty to explore and experiment more designs, study the design with variety of different materials, colors, textures and see the effect of light and shadow. Nowadays, 3D architectural walkthrough has become a helping hand for designers to ensure perfection in design, effectiveness in cost and time, thus conveying their clients by showing the final product before it is actually built. One can get to see photorealistic 3d walkthrough and 3d flythrough like 3d architectural walkthrough, 3d interior walkthrough, 3d industrial walkthrough, 3d virtual walk, 3d walk around, 3d fly around, conceptual walkthrough and 3d interactive walkthrough etc.

3D Interior rendering– 3D Interior Rendering services help play any interiors to advantage. With help of it one can add, remove or modify lighting, furniture, furnishings, wood paneling, wallpapers, wall textures and other details for any residential as well as commercial buildings. Photorealistic interior models can be created with precise rendering of how the interiors of a building would look once the construction is completed.

3D Exterior Rendering– 3D exterior rendering is an essential starting point in visualizing any project.  This can help to portray the important details of color hues, light intensity, light reflection, and shadows creating a life-like portrayal of a building. Also, with the help of the 3 D Exterior Rendering  services all sorts of details like – environment rendering, including landscaping, trees, hedges, fences, vehicles, roads and the neighborhood in general can be visualized as part of the project’s final rendering.

An Architectural 3D model is an illustration of any 3-dimensional objects using computer graphics software. An architectural 3D model can be displayed virtually as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D architecture rendering or used in a 3D computer simulation, animation, or visualization. Making a 3D architectural model is often a time consuming and an expensive process. Therefore, 3D modelers, architecture rendering animation and production studios, advertising agencies, architects, and TV and movie production houses often save time and money by using already made architectural 3D models. The architectural 3D model on websites such as Flat Pyramid are created by highly skilled 3D modelers or artists from all over the world that use concentrated 3D software and other 3D applications to create a variety of 3 dimensional models in several categories and multiple file formats.

Clients relay on the final product, so why not to present product with a 3D architecture rendering, animation or walkthroughs. 3D architecture rendering and walkthroughs are becoming increasingly important selling concepts in the world of architectural design. The 3D computer architectural rendering services slot in powerful theoretical tools into the required design process. With 3D architectural rendering illustration, one show roads, landscaping, neighborhood, required ambience and also multiple design options can be discovered and resolved before the actual building begins. From now on, 3D architecture rendering can easily modify, given construction plan based on specific customer requirements, much before the actual construction take place in reality.

The 3D Architectural rendering services provide all these below facilities:

3D architectural rendering 3D modeling 3D interior 3D exterior Photomontage renderings 3D architectural product 3D house plans 3D animation and walkthrough

The 3D architectural renderings are very well-liked selling ideas in the current world of architectural services. The 3D architectural rendering illustration and visualization technology offers a three dimensional view of any object that is appreciated by all of us. On the other hand you have to agree that this type of service is little expensive, but yes you will find it more exciting and realistic than any other 2D object view. With 3D architectural renderings, 3D architecture rendering animation & architectural rendering illustration you can finally have an idea for how your office or your construction place will look after it is completed. Using 3D architectural renderings, an architect can offer you a suitable idea for how your structure will look in reality once it is constructed. And thus you can have a great chance to play with your thoughts before the final constructions. Build more sensible illustrations for your structure, object and find out yourself how your development will look in future ones constructed. The 3D architectural rendering, 3D architecture rendering animation, visualization & architectural rendering illustration are a creative process. The 3D architectural rendering can add more realistic lightings, features and other additional effects to your construction project. In today’s architectural marketplace, 3D Architectural rendering plays a very important. These 3D architectural animations and illustrations help you out to make a decision on realistic color for your building interiors and exteriors. You can have a best proposal for your exteriors using exterior rendering services and you can do all these by the help of 3D service.

The two may sound similar, but architectural engineering and architecture are two different fields that unite over a common purpose: to design buildings. Architects have the vision, and architectural engineers take that vision and make it happen. Architectural engineers must find safe, healthy, durable, economical, energy-conserving solutions to architects’ designs.

According to the Architectural Engineering Institute, architectural engineering is the discipline concerned with the planning, design, construction, and operation of engineered systems for commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. Engineered systems include electric power, communications, and control; lighting; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC); and structural systems. Architectural engineers work closely with professionals in all areas of the building process to design and construct the engineered systems that bring buildings to life.

Architectural engineering programs teach you the ins and outs of engineering and ways engineering applies to the design and construction of buildings. In architectural schools, you will become proficient in math as well as calculus-based physics and general chemistry. You will study the strength of materials, electric circuits, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and engineering economics. You will also learn about the history of architectural design.

Architectural engineering programs typically focus on construction management, structural, mechanical (HVAC), acoustics, lighting, or electrical engineering. architectural schools may not offer all of these specializations, and sometimes two (e.g., lighting and electrical) may be combined. Depending on your architectural engineering specialization, when you become an architectural engineer, you could deal with anything from building materials and plumbing systems to electrical layouts and climate control. You may even specialize in transportation systems or fire safety code.

At architectural schools, you will gain the education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context. You will also gain knowledge of how the built environment relates to contemporary issues. Through practical coursework applications, you will learn to apply your knowledge of math, science, and engineering to building structures.

After extensive laboratory work, you will be able to design a building system, component, or process to meet needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, ethical, health and safety, social, political, regulatory, constructability, and sustainability. Architectural engineering schools also emphasize teamwork so that you will be able to function in interdisciplinary teams for the design and construction of buildings.

The American Board for Engineering and Technology is the official accreditation body for architectural engineering programs in the U.S. Currently, there are only 17 accredited programs in the U.S. Click here for a list of accredited architectural engineering programs.
If you choose to pursue a Professional Engineer license, graduation from an accredited architectural engineering program is a prerequisite. The 80-question, multiple-choice Architectural Engineering Professional Engineer Exam is offered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying to the state licensure boards each April. Individual states govern the licensure, registration, and practice of architectural engineering within their own states. Find your state licensure board to learn about the requirements for licensure in your state.

allows for a more realistic representation of the actual Architecture. Furniture and decorations can be offered to further enhance the Architectural Design. Colors can be adjusted and mood can be set to help offer the best look to showcase the 3d Architectural Renderings.

There are several key elements involved with creating the highest quality 3d Architectural Renderings:

is the Architectural Actors of the scene. The Architecture is the purpose of the render. Additional models such as props, furniture, accessories, and exterior environments are offered to complement the Architecture.
allows the model to have a diffuse map for the base color, a specular map to represent the shininess or dullness of the material setting, an occlusion map to simulate light shading properties, a normal map for the texture of the object. These all contribute to offering quality materials for the elements of the scene.
allows for the scene to come to life. Proper lighting is an essential element for creating the mood and visualization of the scene, allowing for the best render.
allows for adjusting of the aperture, focal length, direction and motion. The camera is a powerful tool for setting up scenes for Architectural Rendering.
has options as well. There are many types of render capabilities. The better renders require extra processing time for computation of all the scene elements.

All of these elements are essential for producing the best quality Architectural Rendering. Contact U.S. Animation Sales for your next Architectural Rendering project. They will provide you with a free quote based on your needs.

What is Architectural Animation? What are 3D Architecture Animation Models? These two are the most common questions in Architecture Industry. Any architecture professional can be very advantageous by architectural animation and 3D architecture animation models. 3D architecture animation is the main base behind this.

In simple words, architectural animation can be defined as a small architectural animated video created using 3D architecture animation. A computer generated structure of a building is created in architectural animation. Architectural animation is not all about a single image from a single angle, it is a sequence of hundreds and even thousands of 3D images taken by a moving camera.

When such hundreds of 3D images are assembled and played back together they create a video outcome much like a real motion picture camera except all 3D images are created using 3D architectural animation. 3D architecture animation models are also created using this wonderful technique. These 3D architecture animation models can play a role of a template design of your proposed building architecture.

3D architecture animation models are developed using architectural animation and computer 3D graphics. Computer 3D graphics give a 3 dimensional views of statistical information that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations. Superior quality architectural design and animation solutions are widely distributed using Architectural Animation, 3D Architecture Animation Models.

Architectural animation, 3D architecture animation models are also developed using latest tools and technologies of 3D architectural animation. 3D architectural animation software is the most used of all. Using such architectural animation, 3D architecture animation models any architecture professional can get exact building architecture as expected.

Market your development using Architectural Models

Paper plans are ok but if you want to create a huge impression Architectural Models are the answer. This way you can show people exactly how your buildings, developments, or planned projects of the future will look, once they have been completed. Use Architectural Models and theyll be exact miniatures of the buildings that you plan to construct. Consult professional creators of Architectural Models and they can produce any scale that you desire. Models can be made for marketing purposes or they could help you to secure planning permission in the future. Need the finest quality Architectural Models? Experienced model makes can help.

Use Architectural Models to present an interior in a positive light

Theyve seen the outside of the building and it looks highly impressive but whats going on indoors? Let them see by supplying them with detailed Architectural Models of the interiors of your planned buildings. Ask the model makers to construct buildings that come with a removable roof, removable floors and other workable features. People like to get hands-on with projects in the design process and the Architectural Models are ideal for this purpose. Let the people in charge of planning permission look inside the Architectural Models to get a full understanding of the level work that will be involved. Use the models to market your proposed development and secure the planning permission that you require.

How can I bring my Architectural Models to life?

Why not ask the model makers to install lights within the buildings? Make them interactive. Have a series of buttons on the base that people can press if they like. Get people interested in the Architectural Models. Help them to fully understand the true capabilities of your proposed building works. Experienced model makers can bring your Architectural Models to life and theyll make great marketing tools. Scale models can be produced that show how a building will be constructed, whilst others will show the finished construction. Lights can be used in the Architectural Models just for effect or they can be used as part of your sales pitch. Whatever the requirements; model makers can provide your perfect solution.
