A model becomes useful when people can understand it together. Agreed naming, clear ownership and regular reviews matter as much as geometry.

The path through a space shapes our experience of it. Look at thresholds, sightlines and the moments where movement naturally slows down.
Materials that belong together
Begin with a small family of materials. Compare texture and tone in changing light before adding complexity to the palette.
