A pergola in the garden has many advantages – it is easy to build and offers numerous design options – it can bring a refreshing coolness and covered with an awning, or used as decoration and to really highlight your garden. Pergola designs are particularly effective where there is a floor covering – a garden path, a patio area or a terrace with wooden floor are just a few examples.

If you build a pergola in the garden in the immediate vicinity of the house, you will be able to always enjoy a place of rest. So that you do not bother, you can shield the pergola with awnings, or secure it by a structure made of wood and vines to protect your privacy. This is a modern pergola design and has a nice contrast to the classical columns.

29 Bathrooms with Stylish Floating Sinks

 A gallery of a wide variety of stylish bathrooms designed to include floating sinks, showcasing the design styles of many different bathrooms.

Welcome to our gallery featuring a wide variety of Bathrooms with Floating Sinks.

Welcome to our gallery featuring a wide variety of bathroom designs with floating sinks and vanities.

There are so many different ways to design a bathroom space, and you will see a large variety of these designs in our gallery.

While some bathrooms are a grand space full of golden accents and seemingly fit for a king, many times the bathroom must be confined to a smaller area.

Floating sinks are a great way to take up less space for these smaller bathrooms. Even if the sink is still a large one, since they are mounted to a wall and do not extend to the floor, they always create the illusion that they are taking up less space.

While these sinks are useful in small spaces, they are not restricted for use when space conservation is important. You will notice that there are many floating sinks with a “trough” style design.

These large sinks make it possible for multiple people to be able to use the sink at the same time. They also eliminate the need for  extra plumbing for additional units.

We wanted to feature a wide range of bathrooms that feature these floating sinks to give you a better idea of how to incorporate them into a design. We love the look of the sinks and we know that you will too once you see them in these finished bathrooms!

In many of the images shown below, you will notice that there are drawers or cabinet spaces below the floating sinks. The fact that they do not extend to the floor allows for this extra storage space and can be perfect bathrooms.

Not only are the sinks a great feature in these rooms, but the design styles are all unique and appealing. Whether you have a budget without a ceiling, or just some spare cash to work renovations into your bathroom, there is something for you here.

Please enjoy our gallery and be sure to pay attention to the floating sinks featured, as well as the incredible designs in these bathrooms!

Top 10 Apps for Architects

 Top 10 Apps for Architects

Following our readers poll last year, here’s an updated list of what we think are the best ten apps for architects. From condensed versions of large scale programmes architects and designers use every day, to blank canvases to scratch ideas down onto, you might just find an app that could improve the way you work.

#10 Photosynth (iOS/Windows)

If you’ve ever been on a site, or in an interesting location, and are bored of flat panoramas then this app holds the answer. It’s user friendly and, once you’ve stood in one position and circled for a while, it stitches a collection of photos together and gives you a great 360degree panorama.

#9 AutoCAD 360, formerly AutoCAD WS (iOS/Android)

Get all your CAD plans on a mobile device. It’s simple and easy to use. They do require a ‘Pro’ subscription for some features.

#8 iRhino 3D (iOS)

iRhino

Using this app you can view any Rhine 3DM file on your mobile device. It’s a great way of showcasing your models.

#7 Autodesk Formit (iOS/Android)

As a subsidiary of Autodesk Revit, this app allows you to create and alter BIM models on mobile devices.

#6 Morpholio / Morpholio Trace (iOS)

The Morpholio Project is really interesting and offers an insight into where skilled app designers can go with a good idea. Trace is an architect’s best friend and they offer an app that does just that – you can read an ArchDaily review of it here.

#5 Adobe Ideas (iOS)

Vector based sketching
Vector based sketching

This app gives a few tools to jot down ideas quickly and efficiently. It doesn’t provide as many export options as our #4, but does work well on both iPhone and iPad.

#4 Sketchbook (iOS)

This app (designed by Autodesk) offers you sketching freedom coupled with useful ways of exporting drawings on different canvas sizes and at different resolutions. It might feel as user friendly as our #1 app choice, but it’s certainly useful.

#3 Graphisoft BIMx (iOS)

Introducing Hyper-models – Graphisoft’s term for describing BIM on mobile devices – has the potential to make BIM even more popular. As an app that can be used by every member of a project’s design and construction teams, it’s worth checking out.

#2 MagicPlan (iOS/Android)

MagicPlan is, well, magic. It takes advantage of the devices camera and augmented reality to create floor plans of rooms. All you have to do is stand and point your device and it does the rest of the work. You can then export these drawings as a PDF, JPG, or DXF. It takes a bit of getting used to at first but, once mastered, is quite accurate.

#1 Paper (iOS)

With five tools and a blank canvas, coupled with as many virtual sketchbooks as you want, Paper is one of the most loved mobile sketching apps. Having won Apple’s App of the Year and been given the 2012 Apple Design Award, the app has also been extensively reviewed by The Verge. It’s fast, easy, and responsive.

Introduction To Auto desk AutoCAD | DAY 1

Learn AutoCAD basics: DAY 1

Welcome to Learn AutoCAD 2D basics in 21 DAYS!

Here is the first DAY. We will on this journey make use of all basic commands in AutoCAD.

The  Attempt: Handing you enough skills that you give you confidence to continue learning auto-didactically.

 

LEARNING AUTOCAD BASICS

Today we will start from what you need to know on Day 1. You need to have visited theseAutoCAD tutorial before diving into the following. (Jump this step and read further down, if you feel that you can handle the rest of the content without needing anything else, feel free to do so).

COORDINATE SYSTEM

In AutoCAD, the Drawing Area is composed by a sheet in which every location has the particularity of having its own coordinate represented by x, y and z.

Learn-AutoCAD

Since we are going to be solely working in 2D in this series, we can forget about the z component of the coordinate system.

Looking at the following image, you will notice that each corner of the figure has a coordinates.

Learn-AutoCAD

Though it is true you wont be using this a lot while drawing in AutoCAD, we will spend a minute talking about it. At this point, I will suggest you disable the Dynamic input before trying the following.

We will try creating the previous image using the coordinate system and the command window. It is simple, the concept will be to use the four points to draw the quadrilateral.

To do that using autoCAD:

1. Type LINE and Press Enter
2. Type 9,9 and Press Enter
3. Type 25,9 and Press Enter
4. Type 20,17 Press Enter
5. Type 14,17 Press Enter
6. Type 9,9 And Press Enter
7. Press Esc

The first step allows to activate the LINE command. (Learn more about the LINE command)

The second step allows to specify the starting point of the line and the same goes for next steps.

The last Step allows to Cancel the LINE command.

In AutoCAD stroking Esc (ESCAPE) allows to exit a command.

At this stage, you are not using the computer mouse, and you are require to pay close attention to the command windows while drawing. As we go, we will learn more about the command windows and how to use your mouse in AutoCAD.

EXERCISE

Use the technique we have just learned to create the following.

learn-AutoCAD

Note you can start from any point.
