01 / Read the space

See what the
drawing can’t tell you.

That kitchen island. The hallway width. The space around your dining table. Some decisions only make sense when you’re standing in them.

Why a builder walks every client through

The most money you will ever save on a custom home is saved before we build a single thing.

Preston Design Co tries the floor

@1to1plans.yyc had me come out to look at their system and I was blown away at how helpful this would be for all my customers. Moving forward this will be a staple of the Deer Creek Custom Homes and the @prestondesign_co design process.

More questions, answered
What is a life-size floor plan walkthrough?

It's a way to check a floor plan by walking it. Your plan is shown at full size (1:1 scale) on a walkable floor, so you can stand in each room and see how big it really is before anything is built. It's also called a full-scale floor plan, a walkable floor plan, or floor plan projection. In Calgary, the 1to1 Plans studio shows plans on an LED floor.

What do I need to send before my session?

Your floor plans as a PDF or a CAD file (DWG), at least three days before your session, to calgary@1to1plans.com. Elevations help too, because they go on the wall-size screen.

How is this different from a 3D rendering?

A rendering is a picture on a screen, and your eye has to guess the scale. On the floor you stand in each room at its real size, next to real furniture, and feel the distances with your own body.

Where is the studio?

Unit 105, 2750 22 St NE, Calgary, in the South Airways business park in northeast Calgary.

Do you work with commercial and multi-family plans?

Yes: offices, clinics, restaurants, retail units and multi-family unit plans. Walking the space with the people who will work in it shows problems with clearances and flow before the fit-out.
