Access and circulation diagram

The stripped-back white annotated diagram you put at the head of a design statement to explain how you enter and how you move through.

How it works

  1. 1Attach the plan or 3D view of the project.
  2. 2Pick the Access diagram ambiance.
  3. 3Name the entrances and circulation to mark.
  4. 4Send, then check every arrow lands on a real opening.

Arrows only land on real openings

This is the rule specific to this ambiance: access arrows land on the entrances the image shows, and nowhere else. A diagram that enters through a blank wall is worse than no diagram, because it will be read as a design intention. Check it every time — it is the one thing to proofread on this render.

Massing alone, no material

The diagram is deliberately white: no façade material, no photorealistic planting, no sky. What is left is massing, levels and routes. That is what keeps it legible printed small, in a statement or in the corner of a board, where a photorealistic perspective becomes unreadable.

Frequently asked questions

How is it different from Sketch?
Sketch is a pencil drawing; Access diagram is a white annotated diagram. Two separate ambiances.
Can I choose the annotation text?
Write them in your request. Then read back what the render wrote.
What about the levels?
They are read from the image. A site plan alone cannot show them: start from a 3D view or a section.
