Step into the 3rd Dimension • Making those key design decisions can be a daunting task when it comes to building your forever home. A lack of certainty in how the finished product will look and feel can make it difficult to envision how your life will fit in to a whole new space. This is where the revolutionary technology of 3D rendering comes in – a photorealistic representation of your new home exactly as it will be handed over to you. Here, Melbourne Home Design + Living’s Bridget Armitage sits down with director of Drake Design, Jarrett Drake, to explore how 3D visualisations and walkthroughs provide the ultimate building experience.
