Prototyping Layer™
Test the right concept before refining the design.
Answer two questions to identify the Prototyping modules that can help test building form, exterior concepts, interior concepts, or storage and cabinetry before detailed design begins.
Decision 1
What do you need to test?
Decision 2
Your next project question
Recommended Prototyping Modules
This tool provides a preliminary recommendation only. Final Prototyping requirements depend on the project type, design stage, decisions being tested, and level of spatial detail required.
You're probably here because...
You want to test ideas before committing to one.
Exploring alternatives now reduces costly revisions later.
You're comparing different design directions.
Visual prototypes make it easier to evaluate competing concepts.
You want to reduce redesign later.
Early iteration helps uncover issues while changes are still inexpensive.
You'd rather experiment now than make expensive changes later.
Testing concepts early leads to better-informed design decisions.
You're ready to explore solutions.
Ideas are becoming real, but you still need to compare options, refine concepts, and validate design decisions before moving forward.
Better designs come through iteration.
Prototyping™ allows concepts to evolve quickly by testing alternatives, gathering feedback, and refining solutions before detailed development.
You're exploring possibilities before choosing one.
That's exactly what Prototyping™ is for.
Why Traditional Approaches Fall Short
Falling in love with the first concept.
Promising alternatives are never explored, limiting opportunities for a better solution.
Presenting instead of experimenting.
Designs become presentations rather than tools for testing, learning, and refinement.
Comparing ideas subjectively.
Decisions rely on personal preference instead of evaluating how well each concept performs.
Refining details before validating direction.
Time is invested improving a concept before confirming it's the right one to pursue.
-
Prototyping™ is the Capability Layer where ideas become testable design concepts. Early architectural models allow options to be explored, refined, and evaluated before detailed development.
-
It is most valuable when comparing design directions, validating concepts, or exploring alternative solutions.
-
It helps answer questions such as:
- What could this project look like?
- Which concept performs best?
- What should change before detailed design?
- How can different options be compared?
- Which ideas deserve further investment?
-
Traditional schematic design often focuses on presenting a preferred solution. Prototyping™ encourages rapid iteration, testing, and comparison before selecting one.
-
Deliverables may include schematic models, massing studies, conceptual layouts, preliminary interiors, storage studies, and design alternatives.

SWIPE TO EXPLORE
Schematic 3D Interiors
I want to play around the interior layout.
Schematic 3D Exterior
I want to compare different building forms before choosing one.
3D Massing
Show me different possibilities before we lock in the design.
Storage and Cabinetry
I want storage that's designed around my daily routines.
