It benefits those who are interested in a community yet to be built in their city and is extremely helpful for those planning to relocate to a different market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zonda Virtual lets customers view a home interactively without a model being built. In the case of the Virtual Concept Home, potential buyers will experience a home in various ways. They can view the house as a single or multi-level, with different interior design elements to offer a truly customized experience right on-screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cZonda Virtual uses visualization tools and a suite of solutions ranging from exterior elevations, renderings, and visualization tools from 2-D interactive sitemaps,\u201d said Jonathan Brosseau, Zonda Virtual\u2019s vice-president of product development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe also enable a journey where customers can visualize the community in 3-D as it will appear when completed with all of its amenities long before its completion,\u201d said Brosseau. \u201cTraditionally, a community under construction cannot be displayed to the consumer until the neighborhood is finished.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zonda Virtual and the creation of the 2024 Virtual Concept Home<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zonda Virtual was involved in creating the 2024 Virtual Concept Home from its inception. \u201cWe participated in the first workshop with all the builders and the sponsors to define the home,\u201d said Brosseau. \u201cOnce the home was defined, we took the computer-aided designs that the architects created through brainstorming sessions, and using those assets, we elevated them in a 3-D world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUsing the cloud assets, we also added the full specifications of the home, interior trimming, with windows, doors, cabinets, countertops, and so forth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/tinywow_Zonda_Still_Extraction_2.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[228099]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/tinywow_Zonda_Still_Extraction_2.jpg\" alt=\"Zonda Virtual Concept Home\" class=\"wp-image-228102\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of Zonda<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter that, we created the virtual version. First came a spatial relationship with the architectural side of the home without any merchandising or decoration of the house. That allowed the team of builders, architects, and sponsors to experience the home from an architectural point of view. They could check the correctness and the accurateness of the house.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen we added the structural options defined in that plan,\u201d said Brosseau. \u201cThere was the addition of the second floor and some flex spaces that converted an extra room into an office or a bedroom. So visually, you can see the structural elements take place from a simple click of a button which, to recreate that in the real world, you would have to physically build a version of that plan for every single iteration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if a consumer wants to see a home with different paint colors or cabinets? What if the customers\u2019 tastes lean more towards modern design than traditional? Zonda Virtual has it covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe added the design elements such as paint colors and cabinet styles \u2014 all of the design elements that go within that home. This way, you can experience the home and how it&#8217;s designed, but the technology allows for changes to that style.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, if the buyer desires a home where the style is more modern, the buyer can have a more modern style design interior style to it. If you&#8217;re in a market that you want to show more of a contemporary merchandising style, the technology enables you to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zonda Virtual\u2019s work did not end with the home itself. The technology was also used to design the outdoor landscaping and backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe added options for rear landscaping options,\u201d Brosseau said. \u201cWe wanted to consider some of the lot sizes that would potentially be available. \u201cIf you had a 10, 20, or 30-foot backyard option. We gave those options to virtually demonstrate the design and the products within that landscaping option around that environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zonda Virtual\u2019s power behind the Virtual Concept Home allows consumers to experience and customize an attainable home with all the up-to-minute technology and innovations desired by today\u2019s buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2024 Virtual Concept Home by Livabl will be presented to consumers at the 2024 International Builders Show on February 27-29 in Las Vegas. Attendees can view the home on the Zonda presentation screen or receive the fully immersive experience by walking through the house using an Oculus virtual reality headset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/virtual-concept-home\"><em>Click this link to learn more about the 2024 Virtual Concept Home by Livabl<\/em>. <\/a><\/p>\n<div id='pressboard-ad-sponsorship-msg'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zonda Virtual is the innovative technology is the power behind the 2024 Virtual Concept Home by Livabl.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s buyers are busier than ever before.
