drawings
EnSen Design uses three dimensional ‘Computer Aided Design’ modelling at
the heart of it’s business. From conceptual design through to detailed working
drawings, computer technology is deployed to assist our Architects in the
creative process and to ensure any resultant proposals or drawings are clear
and easy to understand.
By using ‘3D’ throughout any project, we are able to guide both client and
contractor alike. Not everyone is able to easily understand a flat, two
dimensional drawing whereas we can ‘walk’ our clients through our ‘virtual
models’ at any stage of the design.

Typical design and construction drawings
After the initial
meeting we are able
to turn your ideas
into a 3-dimensional
computer model
EnSen Design can
also provide CAD
drawing, modelling or
presentation services
for commercial clients
and other Architectural
practices- please call

We undertake our
initial environmental
assessments at this
stage, evaluating
design options in
terms of sun paths,
potential for use of
solar gains, massing,
and prevailing winds.
We can very quickly
consider alternative
designs during the
early stages,
changing, for
example, the profile
of a roof, the size of
an extension.
Initial modelling
Existing private residence, Serby Avenue, Royston
Images show basic massing options of either a flat roofed extension (left) or pitched roof extension
(right). Shadows considered for impact on neighbouring properties and potential for installation of
solar hot water heating or photovoltaic panels. Ground level wind flows estimated.
Design options quickly visualised - giving consideration here to the resultant buildings skyline
Massing and
environmental
impact
Both external
materials and different
interior décor can be
presented to our
clients, throughout the
design process.
Built Form
Light penetration appraised and internal materials considered
Internal spaces can
be presented as still
images or real time
walk-through
sequences.
Appearance
Internal spatial
modelling
Internal still image from low-cost walk through movie file, generated at concept design stage
Our goal though is to
ensure that
Contractors have clear
and concise
information from which
to build.
We therefore continue
in three dimensions
during all project
stages, and can
provide three
dimensional details as
the clearest way to
describe a complex
junction.
Furthermore we
collaborate with other
design team members
to minimise errors and
problems through a
fully integrated
approach to
construction
information
We also undertake
design competitions
Presentations
We can also provide
photo realistic images
for a wide variety of
needs including to
