Working with Cicada Company and actress Heidi Gardner, we formulated multiple design concepts with Virtual Reality technology. They were able to walk around the inside of the existing home, with a virtual headset on, and view proposed interior design as well as the views into the adjacent gardens! The experience is hyper realistic. Everyone was able to have informed discussions on spatial awareness, proposed design features, and critical design relationships BEFORE construction began.
After the design concepts were consolidated, we moved forward with plant selection and material procurement. Utilizing a mixture of pure native and hardy nonnative plants, the plant selection thrives.
