Elevation drawings

Elevation drawings are detailed, scaled illustrations of a building’s exterior or interior walls viewed from a straight-on perspective. They show the design, vertical dimensions, materials, windows, doors, and other features, providing a clear understanding of what the building will look like from different angles. These drawings help architects, builders, and clients visualize the finished structure, ensuring everyone agrees on aesthetics and proportions before construction begins. Essentially, elevation drawings serve as visual guides that translate architectural plans into observable dressings—depicting the building's façade and interior walls in a precise, flat projection.
