Virtual reality is really an exciting tool that we brought into our practice to better communicate and help people understand designs and the design process. By integrating virtual reality into the, the process, we can do a lot of things. We can understand how natural light moves through the space. We can investigate sightlines and security issues, look at material choices, Color choices, even test furniture layouts and landscaping options. Architecture is both a science and art. I enjoy the artistic aspects of it, but we also are making something a reality, and that takes a lot of scientific and technical work as well. We're definitely on the forefront of those things that can make our delivery and our process better.
