 Elevations
  Front Elevation first, to receive Client approval on aesthetic approach.
   This is the point at which Clients can begin to understand what
   their project will look like when approaching it from the exterior.
   We often include materials that we believe you may appreciate, or that you
   may have requested in earlier conversations.  Windows are shown, the Front
   Door, and in general, the appearance or “face” that your project shows to
   you and the World.
  Sides & Rear Elevations
   taking their cues from the Front Elevation, while
   understanding that there may be some economies in other materials where
   people may not so readily observe them.
 Optional 3D viewpoints, wlak-throughs, fly-bys.

- Advanced Schematic Design

(ASD)/

Design Development (DD)

 This phase often merges with the above, sometime during Elevations.
 This phase often includes incorporating Client’s comments and adding more
 detail to the design, further crafting the solution, adding more notes and
 dimensions.  Architectural design continues developing, hence the term: Design Development.
