- Designing a sheet of details from start to finish for a custom, one-of-a-kind fireplace. I’ll show you everything involved in bringing a design concept through to construction. I discuss how to develop and reinforce the design concept using details, how I lay out my drawing sheets, how you can use code constraints to shape your designs, why using consultants is so important and you’ll learn how I take an idea about form and experience and translate it into a set of construction details.

30X40 Design Workshop Great topic and it's something related to what I'm working on at the moment. Do you think if you were moved to, or things happen and you decided to move to UK, Malaysia or Australia, (or any country where metric system is applied), can you get head around using metric system. Because it is a problem for me to understand imperial system, btw I'm from Aussie.
30X40 Design Workshop dude I’ve been the last 23 years of my life trying to find my passion and you helped me... I’m loving the architecture just because of the way you show it, just keep it up and thanks for every video.
BigChease dude the same happen with me, I’m willing to start the bachelor next year
Hi , could you make a video on how to do a perfect presentable plan, the technical aspect, all the lines needed(section/elevation/void...etc) 3:30. Thank you
where can i get the book for free?. pdf version
I'm not an architect but I sure enjoy watching your videos! ☺☺☺👍👍👍
I'm a design student from Nigeria,
I really enjoy how you take us through the design process step by step! Your videos have been of immense help to me in so many ways.
Keep up the great work!
As a former frame carpenter with a 2 year drafting and design degree, plus 25+ years as a commercial superintendent, I'm a fan of your videos. (When I have time to watch). I appreciate the amount of coherent information that you fit into a short video timeline, without a lot of fluff. Bringing any project to fruition is a complex balancing act , having to juggle the constant flow of budget, deadline, scheduling, satisfying client wishes/concerns, adhering to code, timely procurement of materials, etc. After viewing a finished project, I'm sure that for the most part, people are unaware of what is required to "get to paint". Great videos. Appreciate the effort.
You're the man - love that you create these incredibly informative videos. They're a great resource to educate both architects and clients. Also, gorgeous project!
I enjoy your process. I hope there are more detail type videos to come; everything in the process from how did we get here to how to show this to the trades. This is GREAT! Thanks for sharing.
Details are what makes or breaks something. Even the untrained eye will most times feel something is off somewhere, where the detailing has not been resolved. You sir showed a beautiful process of achieving a wonderful result. My favourite I have to say is the chimney viewed from the outside. That was very nice and perhaps unexpected touch. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to more of your tips!

I found this super interesting. I liked the fact that you emphasised that a detail it’s not only about what it looks like but how it’s assembled. Once, my supervisor sent a ceiling detail drawing to construction and they called us after a while to tell us that it was pretty, but impossible to put together, as there was no space for the technicians hand in such a small gap 😂 these things happen and we need to remember it!
I’d love to see more of this! You explain things better and simpler than many of my architecture teachers did at college! Keep it up... I admire your work and dedication!
I love watching you videos, they are so humble and inspiring, much like the architecture projects. I'm an architecture student and at time I doubt myself, thinking if I'm in the right career path(usually when I hear others speak of how difficult and boring it get after school, with little pay). I always turn to your videos to get my passive back and reminds me how much I love it. Thank you! keep inspiring!
Thank you. I'm a norwegian architecture student, doing some projects on my own. Your videos help me so much with the process.
I just found your channel and this was the first video I’ve watched. Needless to say I’m hooked and look forward to binge watching your content. I am planning to purchase land and build a house. With that comes an array of ideas and learning how you process every detail is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to show the intricacies of your craft.
Draw details by sequencing. I used to think that drawing details had to be complicated. I learned from this video that detail drawings can be and should be kept as simple as possible. Thank you, Eric for another awesome video!
Absolutely loved this particular video, Eric!! :) It's always great to see different approaches to problem solving ( and in details). I can say i learned a lot today:) You're awesome!
I enjoy detailing and doing R&D work a lot, was my previous job actually. That chimney clamshell is an excellent example of a design element that can be very challenging to create. That firepit stone was totally awesome! Another great video!!
Thank You Eric, this was very good to see. A quick refreshment on my - long gone - university studies. I which I spent more time on this subject. I did enjoy detailing in the office when I had an engineer and a good sales agent close by. Now trying to figure details out without them - I am just starting with my first project on board, without the first salary......A lot more challenging. So thanks for every drop of information. Cheers.
Hi Eric, i'm particularly impressed by how you simplify complex processes whilst sticking to the goal, you've done too well...
Very helpful!!! I love the fact that sequencing in techical drawing is important!
This is incredibly useful!! It would be amazing if you could keep making videos explaining your detailing process ! Thank you so much!
More details in the future man!!! Good to see thoughtful and spherical approach at the desk. It really helps in the field for an ironworker/welder/artist that's minding the gap
Dude! That´s awsome!
Keep vids like theese comming. Detailing is something that´s super complex, and needs loads of practice before one actually feels comfortable making drawings at that scale.
Cheers from sweden!
This is one of the best youtube channels there are for architects, way to go Eric!!
About to undertake my post grad masters degree in architecture and it excites me to see architects doing so well and producing such lovely work. The fire place looks magnificent but kudos to you Eric for designing such a house that pays tribute to its locality and does not impose on its context. I think to me that is a far more impressive feat and looking at the photographs, it appears to be a large home.
Yes Eric! This was so useful it gave me an idea of what's a design of something small and what kind of drawings we need to use and so.... thanks for this amazing job
OMG! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG!
Thank You :"D
always impressed with your explanation about architectural detailing and i love it!
You are an inspiration!!!!!! Keep the videos coming. I get so excited when I get a CZcams notification about your channel
Believe it or not I'm learning a lot from you especially when it comes down to details thank you very much👍👍👍
Thank you so much! Each one of your videos is an instructional gem.
Of course...thank you for becoming a supporting member...! Very much appreciated...
Thank you for the video. You touched some what on the principles of detailing. but things I will come here looking for, as a young architect, are more applicable circumstances of detailing and building science. Things that I can carry over into the work I'm doing. Modern ways of putting a building together. I appreciate your videos that teach me about new materials that I could be using. Things with practical application. I appreciate this video though, and thanks for what you're doing.
Hello Eric, love the design and I appreciate your videos. They are informative, helpful and pleasant to watch. Thank you!
This was exceptionally helpful. I really loved this video Eric. It was great to see alot of what we're taught in school put to action in this So well thaught out way. Made perfect sense. It's amazing to see you make design seem almost effortless and remain with it's passion. The house is gorgeous.
many thanks...cheers...
Beautifully explained! Loved hearing the process.
So informative and so helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
I love how you represent your plans
Informative, enjoyable and relaxing. I wish you make more episodes similar to this video; challenges in ur projects and how they were handled.
Thanks for showing this process. Innovative design that overcame unique challenges in that environment
As always great content. I like the 1 sheet = 40 hours graphic you posted. I worked for an architect that used to say, "A sheet per week." That was before computers but I think it still applies. Thanks again.
David Ferguson agreed. A good metric for work plan and fee calcs
Really appreciate the effort you put in the details and thank you for sharing your process.
Much respect for this video. I've always seen your previous videos and thought they focused on rudimentary ideas, but this is a fabulous walkthrough of a well thought out design detail. Excellent video and excellent explanation.
Traducción...plese
youre videos have become like a drug to me Eric, please keep up the great work !
Watching your videos makes me want to grab my art supplies and start designing! Maybe a video on how do you addministrate your time both in proffesional life and back in uni
Greetings and love from México
More of these detail videos pls...great explanation 🔥
as a student having architecture as a hobby for the moment this is gold to get into the detailing process. Thanks a lot
cheers my friend...glad to help...
Your motivation helps me heel through the design background mistakes. Keep up the good work Eric Sir, all loves from India |🇮🇳 ......
Im glad I found your channel, very clear presentation and explanation.
Wow, I like this! Not just the details - but the creative architectural design, forget that. Let's call it what it is - ART.
Thanks for sharing some of your creative work in a training format.
Wow! This video was so helpful for an architecture student like me who's about to get into detailing classes this semester( a fresh 2nd year student in this September ). You just opened up my eyes on how things are done in a detailed level. Any advice that you got for me to know & understand more about detail DWG's? I appreciate if i get any feedbacks on my question. Ps: i'll definitely pay to be a member of your channel after I settle some stuffs. Have a good day and God bless you Eric. Cheers!🤘🏽
You've surely finished your course by now, how did you like drafting. Was it as interesting as you originally though- or as interesting as this video makes it seem? Do you still watch videos like this? You think your skills are as god as Eric's, haha let us know!
Thank you so much for this video. I am a recently graduate Architrctural Technologist and eventhough I had 6months of internship and 9 months of part time job(mostly in project proposal phase) I feel directionless. Watching your videos helps me see which areas of construction and Architecture I really would like to work with. Thank you.
This is quite interesting such that it is concise and clear enough to understand. Please keep it up and hope to see more of those
Thank you. It is really helpful for my studies in architecture.
Love the drawings Eric! Very interesting 👌🏻
Man you make me want to be an architect even more. Appreciate you
I have learnt so much from you since I subscribed to your channel. You are an inspiration to me.
Thank you very much,
Very helpful channel specialty for freshman
As usual...
illuminating and makes me want to do better myself thanks again 👍🏻
Thank you so much, Eric ♥ I loove this project! The house seems very interesting as well!
cheers...appreciate that!
Hi, missvanderrose r u an architect?
Hi! I'm currently a student
The video was mind blowing,your explanation to detailing was really interesting
you make it sound like detailing is the most fun to do in Architecture - but yes def agree with this, lots of consideration form authorities approval to what the clients wants, extremely challenging where you can learn a lot!
Man! What a quality video! Love the content, buddy!
Quite fascinating how small things can teach a great deal..
very interesting and informative video...
Thanks and cheers.
hello my friend...great hearing from you as always...
now we are talking,
this kind of videos are welcomed!
waiting for more of them, and you should aim for a complete set of videos kind of tutorials as a playlist on this channel
thank you my sensei
working on a course, sounds like these would fit in there nicely...
I really enjoy your video, I teach landscape technology and I have a hard time showing the poetics of detail and why in need so many scales and sections. Thank you.
This is so helpful, especially when this is not taught in the uni and during the third year you’re suddenly asked to produce construction detailed drawings for projects orz (however I found this after my deadlines....
Great, thank you very much for sharing ! Well done !
appreciate that my friend...thanks...
grateful to you for sharing such an awesome video with us...🙏😊
I just found your unique channel. Exactly what I was looking for. SUBSCRIBED! =]
Thank you, i have learned something from you!
Excelente ..simplemente excelente trabajo ¡,,,
Awesome video! 👌 💯
5:12 Would you mind sharing one of these DWGs with us? Not necessarily this one, but one with this level of detail... that would be very much appreciated! 👍
Awsome! Just amazing!
Loving these videos...simply awesome
People cannot get Smarter than 30x40. This person is born to teach. Viktor
Thanx again for another great video.
Best channel on CZcams.. Wish you were on CZcams when I was in architectural school xD
I have a love/hate relationship with details, especially staircases. I love "designing" them but can get easily frustrated when it comes to the detail drawings. I love the fire pit, despite the "grounded" boulder. I think everyone loves a good ellipse...
Me too.👍
i love it because no one take about it. thanke u
agree...we're changing that up here...always open to suggestions...
As a third year student , struggling with designing construction details and understanding structures, you helped me a lot in this. Thanks .
excellent...glad you found it helpful...sharing it with others helps me get the word out about the channel...appreciate it!
一直关注你的视频，非常棒！请继续坚持下去！
Amazing detail!
Aloha from Moreland Design in Mokuleia Oahu... I appreciate the design build approach to this detail in particular 👌 we go about our details very similar.. keep up the good work!
I enjoyed watching this detailed video
Nice one. Detailing is a nice topic. And I’d love to see more fine grained LOD. Window case study would be great. Fleetwood or quantum in various sidings pls
I love it .. your content is awesome .. Respect 👏
Great content, love your channel.
That was an interesting challenge.
Hello Eric i really enjoyed this video.
I am interior designer.
I hope to find a good interior designer in youtube who will show those details like you about interior spaces.
For architecture you are the best so far.
Good explain l like it Dear Teachar.
Thank you 🙏💯🙏
Could you do a video based on precedents? How should we approach it and learn from it to inform our own designs? Thank you I’ve started watching u I had a bad year in architecture 1st year after watching you I’ve been motivated and learnt my mistakes in my project I THANK YOU 30x40 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
awesome stuff. thanks
thanks for doing this
Excellente, great job... Thanks
Please more videos like this one
Good job
it was very useful details i like to much and i have inspired from a good ideas you 're a masterpiece
Wonderful as always. I am an architect from Bangladesh and been practicing for the last 3 years. It would be great if you make a series or at least a video on Interior project detailing. That would be great. Thanks again.
i'll keep that in mind...thanks + cheers...
I loved this video!

THANK YOU !!!!
wow nice one!👌 🤩
Thank You. The video is very interesting. :)
Eric, amazing video. Please do it more times. I have 2 questions for u. First, are you architect technology? And if you can, show us the process of building, the practice, I think this will be interesting. See you my friend.
