Blueprint for Design

Check out this collection of architectural renderings I found while browsing Flickr for some inspiration one day.  I love vintage, hand drawn renderings and this set caught my eye.  The technique, color and composition are all first rate for the time period and style.  What caught my attention most was the added “elements.”  My two favorite renderings are the first and the last.  I sort of wish I could get a print of the last one with the deer and hang it up in my office.

According to the post on Flickr,

The images in this set are from ‘Great Ideas for Second Homes: A Portfolio of 20 Distinguished New Designs in Plywood, published by the American Plywood Association in 1969. These plans were meant to be ordered from the Home Building Plan Services of Portland, Oregon.

The fantastic illustrative paintings were done by Lorenzo Ghiglieri.
