Great Drawings at Grand Designs Live 2014

2014’s Grand Designs Live saw the BACA stand as busy as ever with visitors taking advantage of the popular ‘Draw my Dream Home’ service. BACA’s architects translated vague visions into real representations on paper, with proposed projects ranging from earth houses, barn conversions and a modular pre-fab house to tree houses in Costa Rica. Here are a few of the best sketches.

The capacity to sketch live in front of clients greatly speeds up the design process and clients are often amazed at how quickly the BACA team can sketch out ideas in front of them – it really gets the design discussion going.

Richard Coutts’ sketching abilities were enjoyed en masse by an audience of Grand Designers during his ‘Live Design Workshop’ on the Monday of the exhibition.  Richard drew 12 individual designs as he demonstrated the BACA design process over the hour-long session before he returned to the BACA stand to continue bringing to life individuals’ dreams and visions in front of their eyes.
