HOME DESIGN – ARCHITECTS
Walk RIGHT IN • Whether it’s a nifty DIY project, an experimental dish or a bold new hairstyle, all of us at some point in our lives have imagined something truly spectacular only for it to turn out not quite as expected. Transforming something you envisioned into a physical reality is a true talent, and doing the same for something someone else has envisioned is even harder. For a project as significant as your home, ensuring that you and your builder share the same vision is of the utmost importance and something as simple as a misinterpretation of a floor plan can throw your plans awry. Thankfully, the ever-expanding realm of technology has the solution, and companies like Vavedo Visual are forging the way forward, and ensuring that homeowners all over Australia can see and experience their new home long before the first brick is laid. Here, Katie Livingston of Sydney Home Design + Living sits down with the company’s founder and director, Rocco Alvaro, to unpack Vavedo Visual’s 3D Walkthrough technology and how its helping homeowners achieve their dream homes.
