For architects, home designers & design-build

Let clients walk the design before they sign off.

Ovara is exploring a way to turn the drawing sets you already produce into a 3D house your clients move through on their own. It’s early: we’re talking with Louisiana residential architects, home designers and design-build firms about how clients review a design today.

Three questions we’re asking designers.

These are hypotheses we’re testing in conversations, not results. If your experience says otherwise, we want to hear it.

  1. Design review

    Real feedback before sign-off.

    When do your clients really react to a design: at the review, or once the walls are up? Could walking the house during design review bring those reactions forward?

  2. Options

    Two layouts, one decision.

    When a client is torn between two schemes, does walking each one make the choice clearer than comparing sheets side by side?

  3. Design-build

    One house the whole team can walk.

    For design-build firms: is a walkable model a useful shared reference for the client, the designer and the crew, from the first review to the build?

How a walkthrough differs from a rendering or a flythrough.
