Floor Plan Design TUTORIAL

In this design tutorial I'll show you how I develop and sketch floor plan ideas quickly. From diagram to rough sketch and on to more formalized plan layouts, you can follow along as I show you everything you need to draw a floor plan using one of our new residential projects as an example.
I discuss in detail:
- why you should start with diagrams (and not floor plans)
- information you'll need before drawing
- tools I use and recommend
- tips for developing better ideas
- form, space, and order (of course)
- using grids
- scale
- and what I listen to when designing...

Love this video and the insight into process your music preferences. You have me intrigued. Old school metal or new? What are you currently listening to? 🤘

[@30by40]

hey LJ, good hearing from you my friend...i think they say the music you listened to when you were 18 cements your lifetime's musical tastes, so for me it's old school thrash (Anthrax, old Metallica, Megadeth), along with more recent: Havok, KSE, Soilwork, InFlames... and you?

[@LJLancaster]

hahah, love the preferences. I listen to a bit of everything from rock and metal - Disturbed, Halestorm, Black Stone Cherry - to classic and the violins of David Garrett and Lindsey Stirling. The heavy stuff makes me enjoy the quiet music even more. I will have to check out the last four you mentioned.

Please Please we need a video for sketching with IPad pro , what are your thoughts ? , can digital sketching be handy in replacing paper sketch please I NEED VIDEO ABOUT THIS Plz

I'm an architecture student from Germany and I'm currently struggling to design a triplex apartment. I just want to thank you for giving me the tools that I'll need to structure my thoughts, as this is not talked about enough in Architecture. I often lose ideas trying to put down what I'm thinking. Taking the time to watch your videos definitely helps more than any explanation my professors could give me. Thank you really much!!!!!!!!!

Did you do it?

[@kimikorise]

3 years of studying in interior design and architecture, this video covered my half-year in university. it takes all the essence and is virtually compiled in one video. thanks man for this.

[@ericlebarron]

I found out 20 years too late that I enjoy architecture, but great channels like this can still help me learn more when I playfully draw designs for my own entertainment. I found your comment about not starting with a list of room sizes and trying to collage them together absolutely true, and appreciate the different way to approach the floorplan.

[@camillorighini1]

I am a graphic designer with a soul of architect. My "CAD"tool is being Adobe Illustrator and is quite surprising how precise and detailed the drawings can be. Every video from your channel I watch is very valuable. Thanks.

This channel is a blessing, its like having a tutor, I'm in my first year of architecture, what u explained so clearly, my tutors have been trying and failing to explain to us... This week iv been so confused and stuck, your channel is like a beam of light lol, I spent days trying to design the interior of my building, but worrying about each detail, I ended up producing nothing, then my tutors accuse me of laziness, when I'm genuinely stuck

Thank you for all of the videos you have posted! They are really useful for me as an architecture student. Especially when I found out a lot of technics have to be learnt by myself. Sometimes the teachers don't even mention how to learn and practice those technics in class. But finally, it turns out they are really important in the design process. Your videos are really good tutorials for me to make improvements. And they also give me lots of inspiration for architecture and design! Cheers!

[@codeinject]

I love these videos. I've been watching a ton of them today. I am a huge fan of Grand Designs with Kevin Cloud ever since I was, 15 and I am watching this show more and more over and over. Just basking in the amazing architecture, always being really proud of my Grandmother that did a self build in the '60s. As times change this precious family heirloom has to go on the market now and I am certain I will do a self build in a couple of years. For now I just love thinking of ideas I for this, these videos give it a better feel that what I am doing is not all fantasy. I've enjoyed the model making videos a ton and I will start with one soon. Thanks for giving an insight into the world of architecture. Keep doing what you are doing.

Hello Erik, I really like your channel. This is the first comment I'm writing - most probably not the last one. When I was a student I used only plain pencil and paper. In the upper semesters I went to automatic pencils and tracing paper. I found and explore Pentel and Copic through your video. I have a great deal of work at the office where I'm currently working with a large amount of Pentel Sing Pens and Copic. The dual function and the possibility of refilling the markers is very practical for me. Right now I use a plain pencil, colored pencils, Pentel's (thin and thick pens) and Colics. Unlike most of my colleagues, I prefer to sketch on a thicker paper (best in a sketchbook) and a 40g tracing paper.

Also, I'm still using pencils for the sketches and layouts - because I am always erasing things - still working on indecisiveness, and because supplies are extremely expensive (still looking for work over here as well). However, I will to just sketch my plan and gradually make changes as you explained later on when I am finalizing my floor plan. Thanks for sharing!

Hello, I am a practicing Architect. Your Videos are amazing and inspiring. Sketch is a basic part of overall process for me, love to sketch details during or working drawing phase. My favorite pen is Sign pen followed by micron and first couple of sketches are pencil and mostly not sharp or uneven tip. The idea behind the uneven tip of pencil is that it allow to pay attention to each part of line and sometimes you might wanna play with even and uneven thickness.

I'm a game designer, and I loved the idea of starting with the big shapes, before caring about a grid or dimensions. I can imagine that saving me headaches moving forward when I'm coming up with level designs. Your sketches were no bigger than a post-it note, and I'm sure I would have started larger and gotten lost in the details.
