An aerial video & photography is the way to show your development project. This unique service demonstrates a standard spin view from any altitude up to 400 feet. This service is great for developers who are building high rises condominiums that are still under construction or yet to be constructed and want to sell "The View" units not yet complete. Creating a 360 Panorama from the equivalent altitude of lets say every 5-10 floors can help buyers decide what floor they want to purchase and help sellers decided how much to charge. Altitude is measured by onboard GPS in meters and is accurate to within about six feet. Some clients want to show future views from various future floors of a building soon to be constructed to sell apartments or condos at according to their view.

Conceived of as a C-shaped house with a small private courtyard and a large private rear yard, this new house maximizes the floor area available to build on this smaller Palo Alto lot. An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) integrated into the main structure gave a floor area bonus. For now, it will be used for visiting relatives. One challenge of this design was keeping a low profile and proportional design while still meeting the FEMA flood plain requirement that the finished floor start about 3′ above grade. The new house has four bedrooms (including the attached ADU), a separate family room with a window seat, a music room, a prayer room, and a large living space that opens to the private small courtyard as well as a large covered patio at the rear. Mature trees around the perimeter of the lot were preserved, and new ones planted, for private indoor-outdoor living.
