Understanding the role of Architectural Design

Darrin Lewis was a co-owner of LGD Construction, a Design-Build Company located in Park City, Utah. However, due to Covid-19-related issues, Darrin had to sell his half of the company in 2022. He subsequently opened Tarsier 3D Studio, which focuses on residential architectural design services.

During his tenure at LGD Construction, Darrin not only designed the projects but also managed them on-site and performed much of the labor. To ensure that the designs would look and function as intended, he created a complete 3D model of each project. Using these 3D models, he generated architectural renderings and walkthroughs for clients and various trades. The renderings were displayed in specific areas of the projects to show the trades exactly how the finished product should look. He then developed the construction documents from the 3D models to obtain the necessary building permits.
