Case study : Construction drawings in action

These drawings show a bathroom created by Studio DAR. They are construction drawings, showing information that will allow the contractors to implement the design.

This drawing includes a plan, a‘reflected ceiling plan’ showing light fittings and ceiling detail, construction drawings for a stone bench within the shower enclosure, and a section through the bespoke basin.

Here, elevations for each of the four walls are shown. They expand on information shown in the plan. Also included for the contractor’s reference are manufacturer ’s drawings of the taps and shower fittings.

A perspective sketch has been produced that the designer intends to be used alongside the plans and elevations to help visualise the space. This is useful for the designer and contractor alike.

The installed bathroom. Details of the bespoke cabinetry and the lighting detail in the ceiling can be related to the perspective sketch, the elevations and the plan.
