Eric Reinholdt Eric Reinholdt

Have you completed a project that captures the essence of its locale while addressing global concerns? If so, Architizer's A+Awards is your platform. Enter now for a chance to have your work featured in print and online.

 

Designing a sheet of details from start to finish for a custom, one-of-a-kind fireplace. Eric shows you everything involved in bringing a design concept through to construction. He discusses how to develop and reinforce the design concept using details, how he lays out his drawing sheets, how you can use code constraints to shape your designs, why using consultants is so important and you’ll learn how he takes an idea about form and experience and translates it into a set of construction details.

The design itself involves a residential project that ‘floats’ across the ocean. This theme translates into challenging and exciting interior details, including a statement chimney that floats over a hovering boulder (taken from the site!).

Architizer is excited to announce that Eric is the newest juror for the inaugural Vision Awards! If you’d like to get your work in front of Eric and our other judges, consider entering today:
