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...

As an architecture student, I reach times where I feel so stressed and tired of architecture, so I watch your videos to motivate myself and to get back to work. Thank you

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I'm an architecture student, and I reach times where I feel so stressed and tired and idea-less, so I watch your videos to motivate myself and to get back to work. Thank you

"fill your head with quality" The best tip

[erminaprijic]

Just wanted to say thank you for this such educative content, apprecoate your struggle to share your knowledge with others. As a senior architecture student, the only thing I can say is I wish I have found this channel earlier... much respect!

I'm not trained at all in design or architecture, but I've been in love with it for 35 years. I'm designing my first home right now, and I have pared back the more ambitious elements, to keep things simple and successful.
However, I'm absolutely certain I'm overlooking things. Watching your video helped me look at it a different way, so I'm now starting over from scratch!
Wish me luck!

I model my layout in sims 4, walk around in it, do some cooking, laundry, toilet whatever to get a feel of living in it before remodeling it in revit. Is that an ok process?

I am in the process of designing an Emergency Operations Centre and lately have been suffering from numbers falling on me. I decided to take a step back and learn about others perspective on design. Now i feel my creativity is at a greater advantage. Thank you!

Taking the time to watch your videos definitely helps me a lot… thank you so much

This is so unnecessarily professional for me making my battle maps and strongholds, I love it

[gabrielgarcia-fraire]

I'm going from a 18 year old illustration/fine art major to, fast forward 12 years, to starting as a sophomore for a degree in architecture come this fall. For the past 10 years, I've worked with signage and on union job sites. I might not be a professional architect till my late late 30s, but everything in all your videos, and all my own research, and sincere love for society and nature makes me know I'm going the right path for me. I appreciate the knowledge you're sharing man.

I’m an Architecture student.. love your videos, make me love the Architecture more and more :)

[surfshaggy]

as a mature architecture student (studying full time through distance learning and working full time) I do find comfort in your videos. They help me to refresh and regain focus by absorbing little tips here and there. Rock on champ

[raythong]

I'm an architecture student which was currently having problems sketching and designing a floor plan which now i might just have another way to do it, Thank you for making this beautiful masterpiece :)

[evelyneshun]

I’m an Interior Designer and your videos are absolutely relevant to me as well... it is the same process and inspiration gathering style that I use...likely because I went to a university which was very technical and trained us to design based on foundations of design and thought processes which you describe ...thank you.. glad I found your channel today.... Cheers.

Honestly, your tutorials are saving architecture students' life.
