Ever since we finalized the floor plans for our new house, I’ve planned to make a physical model. So when we were without power until after 5pm on Saturday, I got most of it built and finished on Sunday.
I almost started building at 24:1 scale but realized how big it would be, so I settled on 36:1. I highly recommend the exercise for your office, shop, home, gym, or any other area you spend a lot of time in. A model really helps you get a feel for a space and think about it differently. This isn’t my first model and won’t be my last; I had built my basement, focusing on the workshop, about six years ago.

Nice! I used https://www.magicplan.app/ to do something similar when we first bought/moved into our current house. It’s really nice for quickly putting together a 2d diagram, which it then can render into a 3d view as well, based on walking around the space and using the AR features in your phone.
