For architecture studios
Another pair of hands when your studio needs one.
I'm Lada Leidmane, a freelance architect in Copenhagen and Riga. I join studios for a few weeks or for a whole project, at your office or remotely, and I work in your templates and to your standards.
Availability Taking on studio work now, usually starting within one to two weeks. Part-time or full-time, on site in Copenhagen or remote.
What I can take on
Drawings, models and boards, in the software your team already uses.
- Construction and detail drawings in Revit and AutoCAD
- Rhino and Grasshopper models, from massing to parametric facades
- Visualisations in Enscape and Twinmotion
- Competition entries, from the first sketch to the final boards
- Physical models: laser cutting, CNC and hand-built study models
- Timber details and the reuse of existing materials

Questions from studios
How soon can you start?
Usually within one to two weeks. Tell me your deadline and I will say straight away if I can meet it.
Do you work in our templates?
Yes. I follow your Revit templates, layer standards, title blocks and file structure, so my drawings fit into your set.
Do you work on site or remotely?
Both. On site in Copenhagen or Riga, part-time or full-time. Remote for studios elsewhere in Europe.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. I'm happy to sign your NDA before we start, and I keep project files and drawings confidential.
How do you charge and invoice?
Day rate or fixed price, agreed per project. I usually invoice monthly, or per milestone on fixed-price work, and we agree the terms with you before we start.
Need help on a project?
Tell me the deadline and what you need, and I'll reply within a working day.
