Jeremy Decker, owner of Immersive Studio CDA, had been in the construction industry for 25 years and was about to build a house for him and his wife. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Looking at the home’s architectural design, Jeremy said it was difficult for her to understand the rooms’ scale. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“She was having a hard time visualizing how things would fit in a room \u2014 especially in the living room \u2014 wondering if a couch would fit or not,” Jeremy said. “So, I started searching for a tool to help with the visualization process.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

During his search, he discovered technology that can “bring architectural plans to life,” displaying them at a true 1:1 scale and allowing architects, builders, designers and their clients to walk through a future home or commercial building before construction begins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s the Inland Northwest’s first full-scale production studio,” Decker said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Decker said his new 70-foot-by-50-foot studio at 216 E. Coeur d’Alene Ave. is the ideal place to project full-scale interior layouts for a home or commercial structure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What’s neat about this is we can service any type of home or business because we can move the floors around and show the elevations of the walls,” Decker said. “If you have a cabinet elevation that bumps to the floor, we can show you that exact elevation of what those cabinets are going to look like.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Decker said if an architect or designer wants to bring their own laptop in and show him their model, he can share a screen with them. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“They can pull up their model, fly around in it, do whatever they want to do,” he said. “And that’s really nice to be able to see through the model at a large size.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Decker said viewing a full-scale model before construction begins has its advantages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It not only gives people an understanding of the scale and the size of things, but it also saves making expensive change orders,” Decker said. “During construction there’s always unexpected change orders that cost money. I built this visualization model to help avoid that. It’s a lot cheaper to change things on paper than after construction has begun.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Decker said his projection studio has other uses beyond the building and design industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We can have private events, private parties, sales presentations and investor presentations. It’s really set up to do multiple things,” he said. “If developers are building a bunch of condos and they have four different designs, they could use our space as a sales gallery to pre-sell those condos or houses or whatever before they even start construction.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Decker said Immersive Studio CDA, which opened in mid-September, has been well-received.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“People are excited about it and want to get in and take a look, which is awesome,” Decker said. “I’m doing a lot of private demos. A lot of architects want to see it too, so they know how it can help them as well.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Decker said Adept Construction, which builds homes in Spokane and North Idaho, and Uptic Studios, an architecture firm in downtown Spokane, utilize his services.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Immersive Studio CDA is open by appointment only Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 208-755-2696 or visit www.immersivestudiocda.com.\u00a0<\/p>\n
