JB Architecture

Sketchbook

It begins with your idea.

JB Renderings provides professional, presentation quality renderings in a variety of traditional media: Pen & ink, watercolor, ink wash, colored pencil and markers. Whether used to assist visualization during the design process or as finished marketing images, JB Renderings provide hand-drawn visual appeal and viewer accessibility rarely found in computer-generated images.

“JB Architecture did the entire project by hand—that is, lead on vellum—which seemed in keeping with the spirit of the original design.”
