A quick elevation study

An elevation study is a crucial part of architectural design and planning, providing a designer with several benefits including visualising the external appearance of a building from various angles. This helps in assessing the aesthetics and overall design coherence, ensuring that the building's exterior aligns with the intended architectural style and concept, as seen in this main entrance design. Elevation studies also help to evaluate the impact of different materials, colours, and finishes on the building's appearance, contributing to the selection of appropriate materials that line up with the design intent and budget constraints for each project.
