reflecting ideas into reality

The role of Studio 516 is to reflect ideas into reality to be built as imagined.  

Understanding the design in multiple dimensions, seeing the materials and finishes in context,  allows you to visualize the  experience of living in the space.

Physical samples and 3D visualization are great tools  during the design and construction of a project to process ideas and foster conversation.  

A key component which makes Studio 516 unique is that we can tailor the level of drawing to your needs and budget.  Just the basics to convey the facts to the team, delve into options to spend more time on the nuances of choices or full deep dive into variations in renderings and mock ups to get complete buy in on concept prior to construction.

just the basics, let’s do this

Studio 516 can provide a great set of drawings and convey necessary details for construction on a simple scale and on smaller budget.  Seeing designs in 3D instead of just plan view saves time and therefore money.

The refinement of details can bring a design to life.  Visualization can convey the parti, options for design. color, texture etc.

The sky is the limit with visualization styles & budgets.

3D is a bit memorizing. Once you see a few idea you want to see more.  We keep an open conversation on the value of balancing visualization of ideas and the budget.

Homeowner feedback, Love getting these emails!
Hi Julie Anne, I just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with last week's "Julie Show". Obviously your renderings were beautiful and inspiring, and your! talent as a designer was perfectly displayed - you keep coming up with better designs.  But more impressive was your command of all the details of the project. Your amazingly detailed agenda was completely covered in our meeting. Most meetings I've been to have had no agenda beyond a subject, and absolutely nothing is accomplished. You rock!

This morning when I saw this and opened the file, it was just glorious! You are so talented and I really appreciate the creativity you bring to the project and then how effectively you present your ideas for change both with the materials and with the presentation on site yesterday. You are such an amazing asset to the entire project and I can't imagine now how to ever do a house project without you at the helm! You have shown a breadth and depth of understanding of materials, people and engineering which is dazzling. Thank you again for making this whole house so much better and more beautifully creative while solving the problems that come up and keeping in mind sensitivity to budget, timing and our aging in place requirements. I know it's a huge juggling act you manage so graciously and with tireless good humor and efficiency.
