It’s almost a year since I collected the keys to my first and very own flat. It’s a small 2-room flat with a floor area of 45 sqm. Renovating this space would be the most expensive and largest project I had ever undertaken. Needless to say, a lot of planning was necessary, and being able to draw was a huge plus. My concept sketches were not exactly to scale, but roughly based on the measurements I took at the showflat (which was larger than the actual flat, I think), but the idea was there and I could use them to show my ID what I wanted. You can take a look and see what compromises I had to make due to space constraints in the end.

Maybe I'll do another round of sketches of my flat now that it's completed, but being able to draw was really helpful. You don't need to draw well to communicate your ideas. A few fundamental skills (eg. proportion, perspective, texture, tone, colour) will get you a long way and these are things that can be learned.
