Window to the future: 3D simulation in home design - a necessary tool or rather an obstacle?

3D simulations have become an important tool in planning, especially for the customer who does not always manage to imagine what his building or house will look like.

How necessary are the simulations and are there places where they should not be used?

Walla!

When it comes to buying a new apartment, a new home or in preparation for a revolutionary renovation, we have a slight sense of uncertainty around the question of what it will really look like.

Is the room seen here in the drawing too large, are the proportions correct, etc.?

Imaging is a solution, as architect Shira Muskel explains from Hillel Architecture: The second action is to give the customer confidence in the process, his confidence is very important to us in this long and significant way we go through together. ".

Muskel tells how important it is to the client that the architect sees the house at his head, but for those who are not from the field "it is very challenging".

According to her, not every space needs imaging and in addition, as part of the work method, the imaging is intended for the first parts of the process only.

"Imaging is the basis for further work and not a tool that accompanies the entire process, so there is no need to update it every time as the project progresses and changes. We believe that imaging is needed in every project but not in all spaces. Spaces like bedrooms, which usually have 3D imaging They will look much smaller than they really are. "

An important and dominant tool in the success of the project.

Yinon Ben David, owner of an architecture firm, says: "For me, simulations are an important and dominant tool in the success of the project. I invest in the subject so that the client gets a clear and accurate picture of what his house will look like, inside and out. "How the material games will correspond with each other, all in great detail."

"Some customers don't care"

Yael Moskowitz, VP of Marketing for Niga Chef FOR HOME, which specializes in luxury kitchens and professional solutions for smart cooking in the private home, says: We want to let the customer understand the visibility of the space, see points that need to be taken into account that suddenly in three dimensions are more obvious like proportions, distances, location of the devices. These are exactly the things that sometimes at the initial idea seemed to work well, but in 3D understand that it would be better to place them differently. "

Down to the details in 3D allows the customer to understand what is in front of him. "In 3D we show the cabinets and drawers open, so you can see where the division for the amount, trash cans, special drawers and other features that in front drawing can not be impressed. In addition, in 3D we combine the accompanying kitchen elements, windows and visibility, vents, The low ceilings and their visibility, it gives an opportunity to test whether the kitchen plan works well operationally and design, here is an opportunity for a real look and not only of the kitchen as an element in itself but as one that fits into a given space. How the kitchen works against the proportions of a real person. "

Moskowitz notes that "there are customers for whom it does not matter, they have seen the kitchen on display and the sizes and sizes in the drawing are important to them, and there are some because it is important for them to see the proportions, see the drawers open, and imagine what exactly they will put there.It gives them more order in their heads. "

Leave her out of the simulations.

In contrast, there are professionals who do not think that simulations are necessary and sometimes even disruptive.

Interior designer Odelia Barzilai claims: "Imaging is good for experiencing the space, solving problems that may arise and also for showing customers their dream that is slowly being woven. The reason I do not like the simulations is that I feel they restrict creative freedom. Ultimately, a three-part program Dimension is fixed with sketches and pre-made templates, it does not have the special items I pick up from different places so no simulation will reflect the house my customers will receive at the end. "I believe that this is a great way to understand the LOOK AND FEEL - the design of the house I feel in my gut feelings, in my intuition and imagery can sometimes spoil, because it fixes a thought".
