Stage 3c. Immersive Virtual Reality Modelling (Additional Option)
Rendered, interactive models are sent across for you to explore on your tablet/smartphone. A headset is provided which can carry your smartphone to enable a fully immersive experience. This is offered as an option in addition to the standard 3D modelling.
This means that you can navigate around the rooms yourself, this also works with virtual reality by moving the device around to give a sense of the space. This can also be used within a VR headset (also provided new for each client household) setup to hold your smartphone and allow you to look around the virtual room. (N.B: only android phones currently allow full headset mode, although iphone still support VR and allow the model to be explored easily, in detail, on your phone).
Quick Start – Using the Kubity Go app
You get best use of the app if you can physically move the device around to get different views of the space, so it is recommended to use your smartphone or a tablet. Find the free Kubity Go app on your phone or tablet’s app store.
Download the app to your device. Open the app. (You don’t need to allow notifications or give the app access to your camera or photos in order to view the architectural model shared with you.) Once you have downloaded the app, go to the email sent to you containing the link to your model.
Here a sample link of a demo model: https://player.kubity.com/p/r9s4Ai to allow you to explore the app beforehand. Click on the URL for the model, and it will take you to the app. Click ‘open in app’, your model will load.
You can share the model with anyone who has the link, making it fun to show and share with friends and family.
Change your view using the 3 dots in the top right-hand corner of the screen to Virtual Reality. Touch the screen to see a menu at the bottom of the page (if you can’t already see it) and select Tour. You can move through the plan by touching the screen and also by clicking the scene at the bottom of the page.
The photoreal image may take a little while to load in each scene, but it’s worth waiting for!
Move your device to see the plan from all sorts of different angles to reveal details you may not have seen in the plans before.

So many beautiful stone options at @allgreengb in Yeovil! I spent some time there this week exploring their sample panels for a Wiltshire home extension project.
We`re planning to use stone slips to update the exterior of a 1970s property, and All Green`s range of colours, textures, and sizes is truly inspiring.
Think sleek and modern, or rustic and textured – the possibilities are endless! They have everything from wall cladding and sets to pavers and patio stone.

Did anyone else feel like these past few weeks have been particularly cold and dark?
Yesterday`s sunshine was a welcome reminder that spring is on its way!
I`ve been noticing little touches of it everywhere, but yesterday`s sun gave me motivation to record it!
Sharing some beautiful images of spring in action to help us all hold on to the promise of warmer, brighter days.
What`s your favorite sign of spring? Let me know in the comments!

It`s not pretty, it`s not neat and it`s not tidy...
But for me, working by hand with multiple colours is a helpful way to work through design ideas and option iterations.
These will be a basis for for development and testing the ideas, drawing up accurately and a starting point.
But working by hand will always be the most natural way for me to get into a flow state of thinking about designs.

Can you spot the cold bridges?
This beautiful 1920s house has a lot of character, but it`s also got some serious thermal performance issues. From small cavities to cold bridging stone mullions, it`s a classic case of heritage charm vs. modern comfort.
Im excited to develop a retrofit plan to improve energy efficiency and create a warmer, more comfortable home.

It`s been a busy January, and it`s straight back to it with client meetings, briefing sessions, and design presentations.
Without a doubt, the most stunning day was surveying a new project in the snow!
The sky in the survey photos is just perfect.
Very cold conditions dont make for my favourite time for surveying, but lots of thermals, gloves, and excellent coffee (kindly client supplied) meant I could enjoy the beauty of the day and savour a day away from screens.
I carefully looked at the environment, context, and discussed with the clients at length what they need, hope for, and in a perfect world, dream of.
All the information I need to design the next phase and form for this Bath home.
