确保市政和 HOA 批准的工具

Rendering of hillside home in Mill Valley

Designing and building a custom home comes with certain variables. One of them is the permitting and review process. Local officials will want to review the plans to see that they comply with building codes and zoning ordinances. Historic districts, homeowners’ associations, and nearby neighbors might be empowered to weigh in as well.

所有这些实体都对最终的建设项目拥有合法权益。你需要一位能够与这些利益相关者有效沟通,并能提供令人信服的视觉证据的人。 已满足所有要求 相关问题已得到解决。.

At Turkel Design, we have a proven track record of securing permits in notoriously challenging permitting environments, including Mill Valley, north of San Francisco. For this project, visualizations became an important tool for us to address two stakeholder concerns: lighting at night and construction traffic on narrow roads.

The building site was midway up a steep hillside, accessed by a driveway up from the street below. Our clients wanted to replace the house at the head of the driveway with two new homes, as allowed by the local zoning code. Here’s a view of our two proposed houses, in their context, with neighboring houses “ghosted in.”

灯笼效应研究

如上图所示,由于地势起伏,一些邻近房屋的居民会从山坡上直接看到我们新建的房屋。这意味着,到了晚上,我们家窗户透出的光线会照到邻居家。.

为了解决这个问题,我们修改了设计,移动了一些窗户,并遮挡了另一些窗户。为了展示这些改动的效果,我们进入了数字场地模型,从周围房屋的角度拍摄了“照片”,并制作了效果图,模拟了我们改造后的窗户在夜间产生的“灯笼”效果。.

我们的演示让他们相信我们可以减轻视觉噪声,项目得以继续进行。.

切填

在陡峭的山坡上建房意味着要将房屋的一部分嵌入山坡之中。这就需要移除部分山坡来为房屋腾出空间。但是,这些被移除的泥土都去了哪里呢?在米尔谷,这些泥土无法用卡车运走:它们必须在场地范围内重新分配。这被称为“挖填平衡”。”

但是,如何以引人入胜的视觉方式向利益相关者传达这些信息呢?这里有几张图片(根据我们场地的3D模型构建而成),展示了为了建造房屋而“抬升”的部分山坡,以及所有挖出的泥土都被铺撒在我们计划建造的两栋房屋周围的情况。.

但还有更多:施工期间,所有这些泥土都不能悬浮在空中——它们必须被放置在场地内的某个地方。以下视频展示了我们如何提出将所有“挖出的土方”来回移动,直到它们可以变成“回填土”为止。”

样板间效果图让邻居们相信他们会满意我们最终的设计方案。土方工程图则让市政府相信我们已经制定了符合当地法规并最大限度减少道路施工交通量的计划。.

最重要的是,我们的客户在建造新家时,知道他们与这座城市和邻居的关系从一开始就非常融洽。.

These custom homes each went through their individual design process. While one was conceived through a 一系列修改 我们的 Axiom 3250 设计方案——是陡峭地形的理想起点;另一个方案则是完全定制的设计。.

Whether it’s for this project in Mill Valley, or others in such similarly strict locales as Martha’s Vineyard, the Hamptons, Aspen, Napa Valley, and Hawaii, we identify the specific concerns of the local governing bodies, then seek inspired solutions that respond to both their needs and the needs of the homeowner. The result is always more nuanced, intentional architecture.
