Chapter 23 – Sketch versus Photos

One of the intangibles in home building is being able to get a real sense of space. Sketches help in my opinion, especially when you add walls, cabinets and furniture. But it’s interesting to compare and contrast.

Below are 2 sketches of the view from the family room looking at dining, kitchen, living, study and patio.

Below is is the view from the kitchen.

Similar view from kitchen island looking to the living room and patio. Don’t mind the 2X4 in the middle of the photo. It’s not a pillar. it’s just resting there at the moment.
