Work from Anywhere: Tools, Tips, + Methods I Use to Run a Remote Architecture Studio

[@ShowItBetter]

More videos like these in time of quarantine! The irony of it all is that this is going to become the new normal...and we are all going to be learning from each other!

[@Sunnychpd]

Absolutely, the future is now.

[@javiermoisesromerocotrina1927]

yessss ✊

[@DomenicoMontaruli]

In my opinion plenty of people are not ready to switch to smart technology. I see it everyday. They are quite slowed down because they have to learn another way to work, new software to use and this is a big deal for a big slice of them. I reckon that videos like this one (thanks Erik) are very helpful to understand that there are different ways and settings to approach work in a smarter way. These kind of video push them to improve theirselves, it is a feeling that grow into yourself and change your mindset.

[@enricoengelbrecht1351]

It's poetic in a sense where the world is disconnected by a pandemic, but humans connect better now and more frequently by seeking the help of others. Which is quite a beautiful thought.

[@mrunalyete6218]

Sir please make a sketchup class..the way you use it it's looks very clean.i love your work

[@30by40]

Cheers... appreciate that...here's my SketchUp template: thirtybyforty.com/sketchup-template

[@mahmud1760]

@@30by40 that would really be appreciated. Thanks for all the hard work

[@jolsevi6343]

Yes, please!! I'm an architecture student and it feels like all the tutorials I find online are either too beginner or too advanced. There's nothing for someone who already has an idea of what you can do with SketchUp, just don't know how to keep things organised..

[@RRALOPRADO]

It's all about the model styles, there you can change gorund, sky colors, default colors of faces, color of edges... everything basicaly...

[@johntherat339]

Yes! I would pay some money for this. There's not really anyone that's doing Sketchup for architecture that looks this good.

[@biancazeichnet]

I started watching your channel about 2015I 16 when i was a student looking for some inspiration for my portfolio. Now i watch your channel as a small buisnessowner, looking for some organisation tips on how to run a architecture/ design buisness. Crazy how time flies! Thank you for these amazing tips and videos.

[@QuantBuildAcademy]

30 x 40 videos are the best for me. Goood work Eric!

[@cmcmediaproductions8696]

Your videos are by far the best architectural videos on KZbin ! Please continue to make content Eric ! It’s fantastic

[@kuriostraveler]

I'm not an architect but I love your channel. I enjoy watching the thinking process, design, forms, materials! Awesome!

[@elizabethfeldbauer5180]

Eric, I want to take a moment to thank you for your generosity of spirit and wonderfully inspiring KZbin channel. I’m not an architect; I’ve worked in the film business for about 30 years (!) and have recently transitioned to a different career. Your videos inspire and motivate me every day and I learn so many new and interesting ideas and concepts that I can apply to my new business venture. Your videos are so cinematic and well produced! Thanks so much for sharing your design process You’re a fantastic architect as well as a great teacher and mentor! All the best!

[@30by40]

That’s quite possibly the nicest comment I’ve ever received on KZbin, my sincere thanks! I’m glad these videos are able to reach an audience outside of the architectural community. Cheers...Eric

[@enricoengelbrecht1351]

So organized it's satisfying to the eye! Great work Eric, you are such a motivation for young architects!

[@abhishekkalkunteramesh9236]

Great video Eric, loved how productive you are in the midst of this outbreak! Very inspiring and thanks! Also, Stay safe!

[@tonydyer5073]

I’m a union electrician studying Building Construction Management at Everglades University but let me tell you, every time I watch your videos I get inspired. I love the quality of your videos and you’re a great teacher. Makes me think about pursuing an Architectural degree after I complete my degree in Construction Management.

[@30by40]

Thanks, Tony...appreciate the support!

[@phillipmills264]

Thanks for sharing Eric. Its a joy to follow your work process, engaging your audience in the Outpost project is an excellent idea. Thanks also presenting new tools and platforms. I can sense a Sketchup tutorial is just around the corner.

[@dzig9150]

The Internet is a powerful tool for this generation, this allows us to work for anyone and from anywhere. Remote Architecture Studio is a good idea to spread your roots globally. You always inspire many architects. Keep inspiring!!!

[@driversclub_li]

I have to see as a fellow Architect in the residential world times have definitely changed for everyone. It is inspiring to see you making it work. We have had a building for some years now and it is making me rethink that do to the current times and what the future is looking like that we may need to go back to working from home in an outdoor space that we can build on the property. Thanks for the videos and the studio tour in another video.

[@jmor1415]

Another outstanding, informative video Eric. As an arch student, I enjoy watching your videos because you are in touch with the innovative, new, computer-based technologies. You seem to understand the need for integration of modern technology with old-fashioned tools, as well as successfully integrate the modern approaches to design with the everlasting, old-fashioned physical tools that architects should continue to use. I am very grateful that you document it (and very nicely) for all to see. Thanks Mr. Reinholdt.

[@urekah37]

Thanks for taking the time to make there's videos.

[@30by40]

Cheers, thx for watching!

[@thegeordiearchitect]

Another fantastic video, again, so inspiring. Just wanted to write and say thanks for your content, can’t wait to binge more soon.

[@aayushagarwal9276]

When I grow old ...and if I will become a visiting faculty in some Architecture college or a professor ...then definitely I will show your videos to them and say "students this man revolutionaized the architecture professional KZbin channel when there were many other disorganized architecture KZbin videos and channels"....keep it growing bro....love and respect from INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@RainMaker0602]

Great to have you back, Eric. I hope you and your family are safe. Your videos have kept me focused and inspired in my engineering work in these tough days. Thank you and stay safe always!

[@LadyGreygh]

I always look forward to your new uploads. As a young Architect, I find your content very helpful and educative. Keep up the good work.

[@noonghazi]

Really glad to see you upload a video.. the past two weeks have been quite rough and I needed some inspiration. I appreciate the hard work you put into the videos you make.. hope you stay safe and healthy wherever you are

[@davidkonevky7372]

There's not much architecture youtubers so it's super helpful to have you here

[@sarvinjalehrokh7197]

Really happy to see you in this special period of time!! watching all your previous videos and taking notes was the best and most useful work I've done during quarantine!

[@carlstanford7607]

Great stuff. Very nice architectural design work too. Nice to see talent at work

[@siddhantjain3770]

Amazing video.... You are so cleared with your things and focused on your worked .... Got inspired.... Yes post more videos...Big fan

[@julietphillips1991]

I am not an architect or a student of architecture, I am simply interested in all aspects of construction. Your videos are very educational and serve to help in understanding this important aspect of the project. You share a lot. Thank you.

[@w0mblemania]

This was very useful. Thanks! More like this please! Many of these tips can be applied to many other industries.

[@fernandoballadares8082]

I love your videos and listening you go through your creative process

[@giovannigazziola8972]

Only a word to describe this video. QUALITY

[@darylkevin7429]

Imagine my reaction when I saw Chris Do's book! As always, thanks for the inspiration Eric!

[@sidneyaulds]

Eric, great video. Always am inspired by your style and the way you operate and present your work. For what it's worth, when I see the scene with the camera along the undergrowth, I immediately connected that natural landscape onto your new flat roof addition, along your "natural barrier" at the end of your front porch. I think it could further connect your project to nature, and help it reflect back to its landscape. Eager to see this one break ground.

[@DouglasatWhiteBox]

As always, great work Eric! Those 16 minutes are very valuable. That workflow is exactly what many of us need to incorporate. Thank you!!

[@anthonymoreno2278]

I really appreciate these videos showing your work flow, i like to watch a real pro at work and learn from their process

[@marc-olivierrouette4574]

I was just thinking how cool it will be for you once the outpost project is complete, to have all of this video documentation of your progress and evolution. Love the videos, really inspires me to stay organized and on top of things. Cheers!

[@MarcosPauloSLima]

Man, you are awesome! I'm a fan. I'm an architect from Brazil! Regards!!!

[@kimmysander2447]

This is amazing, love your thought process. I'm not an architect, but i do architectural visualizations for a living, i'll definitely be taking note of this thought process going forward. very inspiring.

[@Katsikokounelo011]

Great video as always! Love the way that your content is informative but remains a easy and pleasurable to watch - thank you for sharing your practices!

[@zion223]

i've watched a handful of your vids sir. On many levels, you really inspire me. Thank you for being who you are.

[@lomike91]

Great video and very inspirational. I'm currently in quarantine (actually almost more than 40 days now) in Italy and struggling to keep my quantity surveyor job and studying for a bachelor in civil engineering, all this brings new air to breath. Thank you.

[@espinozaavilan]

Always sharing your experience, you are an inspiration. Thank you mate.

[@emmanouildanezis]

Recently discovered this channel. Really enjoying all the clips and have been going back years to view and catch up on older videos. BTW, I am not an architect but I find very interesting the subjects discussed and great quality videos. Keep it going Eric!

[@abdiasjiminian4430]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos! @30X40 Design Workshop

[@sampayne7973]

Big fan of your vids... would love to see you showcase your finished architecture work more.

[@baseplatedesign]

Nice work Eric! I've been using Roll for over a year now to track projects, billing, projections, tasks, etc. Found it really useful to see what I have coming up and plan my time accordingly. I try to stick with one program to avoid missing anything switching between programs too, but realise each one has its limitations.

[@oscargglez]

Hi! I'm a web designer but I can't stop watching your videos!! oh hell... ;) Now seriously, it's really inspirational and interesting see how you express through your work your passion about your career, and to showing us great tips that can be applied in some many other fields (like mine) Thanks for sharing not just your work, methods & passion... but also to help us to become a better professionals.

[@JeffreyXu7]

You make everything look so effortless but there's so much editing going on in the transitions, music, voiceovers, and angles in the timing. Hope you're doing well and glad to see that you're still working. Thank you for this video!

[@logannelson1539]

You are such an inspiration to me! I love watching your videos! I’ve been struggling getting into architecture school and your videos help try to motivate me to keep pushing! Thank you for making the videos, hope to be like you some day!

[@glaziovada]

Wow! Finally I found a real useful videos on the internet, please keep on sharing! One thing you weren’t mention was about the render drawing, what did you use & how important is this process in the meeting?

[@joshuajackett6371]

Brilliant yet again, so many useful tips

[@michaelg1778]

I really enjoyed seeing you working and your thought process as you sketch over the drawings, very cool. I'm finishing architecture school in a month and unfortunately haven't been exposed to residential architecture at all which is what I'm interested in, I enjoy seeing your own work on custom homes and everything that goes into it. The dream is one day to have my own personal design business like the one you've built.

Amazing Eric!! Thank you! Awesome ShetchUp skills too!

Eric, consider turning off shadows in SketchUp when you're modeling. Looks good but makes SketchUp really laggy.

[@marcusdeimos]

Oh god SU, I really think Rhino is so much more efficient

[@fatoeki]

@@marcusdeimos and it can do way more things. I think Sketchup should only be used as the name suggests, for sketches

Eric, cool behind the scenes reveal. Good info as always. Thanks

[@giuseppenativo2123]

Very nice video. If you permit me, give a look to Kengo Kuma's work, during the '90s and 2k. He was still on a small scale and his work was extremely elegant, using a lot of ideas based on the tradition with an eye on modernity. Clearly, the material was wood.

[@paolaruiza_]

I really loved this video. ♡ Hi, watching you from Mexico. Thank youuuu!

[@GregNow]

Fantastic, definitely great not losing yourself within the project by using with Trello and Notions for single or duo architects.

[@tomaspavelka4623]

Thank you, Eric, great video as always, you are a pro youtuber now, I have to tell you! I’m working from home for almost three years now, and I am actually getting used to it. It never was easy to prevent the urge to go out to some meetings to be with other people, but now, being in lockdown I really appreciate the zero adjustment I got to undergo. By the way, think about new approaches to designing residential and office projects! There will be the whole new emphasis on functions being assigned into those programming concepts, homes will definitely need more home office space, offices will be remodeled and everything will shift in its usage... I find this very challenging and I do think, that the role of architect will slightly change as well. Great times to live in, don’t you think?
