My ears are burning–it’s nice to be the topic of your discussion! Here’s a recent glamour shot of me. If you want to say hello, you can find me at: archioffice.com. Have a great day! 

We absolutely love the new ArchiOffice 2013.  We are able to use it anywhere.  Not sure what we’d do without it which is scary but great at the same time.  Highly recommend it.

We have been using Revit for about 5 years as a office. We are primarily an Architecture Office with 2 LA’s and an Interior Designer. Overall, I have found Revit to work better than Microstation, that we were using and sometimes still use. Revit is amazing for buildings and okay for landscapes.
Site Modeling/Rendering – It is really cumbersome and…[Read more]

Great question Andres,
I share the same curiosity.  I currently work at a multidisciplinary firm and have been weighing the pros/cons of multiple platforms to create the best work flow with a revit model while also coordinating closely with the civil engineers as well. I feel like the biggest goal/challenge is creating an accurate 3D site…[Read more]

ohh that’s a good one as well – frank gehry, nice  🙂 insightful

I have been using Vectorworks Landmark on  an iMac for a few years now. Having come from a hand drawing background, it was a steep learning curve and I experimented with a few other packages first. I find the plant scheduling on Landmark a bit cumbersome but I am still learning. Overall however, I think Vectorworks is a great program for the…[Read more]

My first guess was going to be Gaudi, as well.  Something about the lines of the structure reminded me of him, although, I did not know which building.

Next time… 🙂

Oh wow, Gaudi’s incredible–bah, there goes my next blurry building idea 😉 and I should have totally thought to have money riding on the first round. Agh, regret!

Certainly beat me to it! 🙂

you sure he isn’t pulling your leg?      of course this building is one […hey, wait a minute- are there bets on this? financial incentive? lol..anyway..]  = this building is by the Architect Gaudi, of an apartment building that sits squished among others in this multi-use stretch of streetscapes. curiously it doesn’t take much to blur his vision…[Read more]

I didn’t. I just looked at Buffer now and it looks cool. HootSuite looked fine at first too, you know? You wouldn’t predict that it would somehow misfire pictures to Facebook, but here we are… Good luck in your search!

I don’t mind at all–we have 4 users. I just looked it up, and this is a recent article about them: http://www.bdcnetwork.com/how-one-firm-rescued-reimbursables-and-survived-08-atlanta Hope it helps–haha I wouldn’t wish ‘shopping for software’ on anybody, but luckily, we’ve been happy with it. Good luck!

Beats actual work sometimes…

Wow, you guys are good! Nice work 😀

Definitely looks like Vue to me for the atmospherics and plants. Likely 3DS MAX for hard scape although you it could even start as Sketchup and be exported into Vue. Many ways to skin a cat and end up with a photorealistic render these days!

Yup – just figured it out.

Crooked House in Sopot, Poland!

Alex, thanks for the reply.  Our office has been reviewing the product to see whether it was worth while for an office of 5 users to switch to it.  If you don’t mind me asking, how big is your office?  

Probably 3ds max and vray for lighting. the trees and scrubs look like they come from xfrog.com
