Drawing What Gets Built
Some projects remind you why you draw the way you do. Little Mod is one of those. What began as a small, methodical exercise in coordination turned into a quiet lesson about communication, clarity, and care. At first glance, the drawing set looked simple enough—thirty-odd pages of CDs balanced against nearly fifty pages of construction exhibits. The ratio says a lot. The exhibits carried forward habits from our time on the builder’s side: drawings that explain the how, not just the what. That focus on means and methods shaped how the project came together—and how closely the finished building followed the design. For the first time in a long while, everything built in the field looked almost exactly like what we had detailed. Nothing major shifted, nothing drifted. The colors, the axons, the layered diagrams—all those little tools meant to clarify intent—did their job. They made the drawings readable, not just beautiful.

During construction meetings, the Revit model became our common ground. Instead of debating a note or a lineweight, we’d spin the model, zoom in, and talk through the next move. It was fast, direct, and, in hindsight, a glimpse of how we want every collaboration to feel: open, visual, and grounded in the same language. What makes Little Mod satisfying isn’t scale or novelty—it’s alignment. The drawing matched the build, the build matched the idea. That’s the loop we’re chasing: design, document, construct, reflect. There’s still plenty we’ll refine—how we issue exhibits, how we template the best of this for the next project—but this one feels like a benchmark. A reminder that good drawings don’t just describe architecture; they make it possible.
