Orient to Existing Environment and Initial Modeling

What happens here

Initially, the existing backyard is observed to understand its layout, current structures (house, pool area), and spatial relationships. Following this, a digital representation of the house is created or imported into 3D design software. This foundational model serves as the primary reference point and context for all subsequent design additions, ensuring that new woodworking projects are integrated harmoniously with the existing architecture.

Goal: The process begins by visually assessing the existing backyard environment and then translating the basic house structure into a 3D design software, establishing the foundation for the new outdoor living space.
