Today we had the privilege of working with a local, renowned architect on a project with the potential to view both the peaceful Deschutes River and the magnificent Cascade mountain range from a proposed deck. The viewpoints are very location specific, so we spent the late morning flying the drone to pre-determined altitudes on property to confirm deck heights and tree removal options.
We successfully navigated low-hanging power lines, overgrown tree branches, and crumbling structures…often within inches to achieve the precise location both vertically and horizontally. The entire site will be removed of dilapidated vegetation, residences, and out buildings, but the drone photography assisted in visualizing the future.
Summarizing, the data gathered from this aerial reconnaissance will be invaluable. By accurately positioning the drone at different elevations and orientations corresponding to where the deck would eventually sit, we can effectively preview the unobstructed views of both the majestic mountains and the meandering river. This foresight ensures that the architectural design maximizes the natural beauty of the location, offering future residents an unparalleled connection to the iconic scenery that defines Bend, Oregon. Drone flights served as the perfect tool to bridge the gap between blueprints and breathtaking reality.
