Modern Kitchen Renovation Series - Existing Conditions and Revit (Episode 1)

 

I am super excited to introduce a new "residential Revit" series to you all!  I spent the last few months recording my entire process as I designed a mid-century modern kitchen for two great clients.  Throughout these episodes I will be sharing the tools, processes, tips, and tricks I use on real-world residential architecture work.

In the first episode I will be breaking down how I document existing conditions and input them into Autodesk Revit.
