Elevli Plus
International Architecture. CAD, 3D Rendering and the Office.
Elevli Plus is an international architecture and interior design practice, headquartered in Melbourne with offices nationally and worldwide.
Its architects, interior designers, technical, marketing and administrative staff all work on Venom BlackBooks.
By 2018 the practice had been running them for four years.
This case study records Elevli Plus’s experience in 2018, after around 48 months with Venom BlackBooks. Quotes are Hakan Elevli’s own words, lightly edited for readability.
The Practice
Elevli Plus creates and delivers minimalist, distinctive modern architecture and interior design.
Its team brings innovation and creativity to complex, multifaceted design briefs.
The Challenge
Demanding clients require perfectly executed projects and developments.
That means the design studio and the international team – architects, interior designers, technical, marketing and administrative staff – have to work together seamlessly on the Microsoft Windows ecosystem.
• Performance computing
• High specifications
• A portable productivity tool for the office, home or on site
The Solution
Elevli Plus deployed a range of Venom BlackBooks over 48 months: BlackBook Zeros as its business Ultrabook, and BlackBooks for architectural CAD/CAM and 3D rendering, both in the field and at headquarters.
The BlackBook 15, used for architectural CAD and 3D rendering.
Why Venom
Venom met both the performance and the reliability requirements, with a distinctive, professional appearance.
“What our clients demand and require is not only professional and prestigious commissioned work. That same professionalism must also flow through all of our work and attitude, including the tools that we use.”
— Hakan Elevli, Principal, Elevli Plus
• Reputable high-end performance
• Reliable, no downtime
• Great support
The Results
• The 14-inch machines were ideal for office productivity
• Reliable high-end performance
• Higher productivity, especially in 3D work, with significant savings in rendering and load times
“In the past we had used many other computers supplied by the long-established global PC manufacturers, and were dissatisfied, or simply not aware of a better local alternative. We have been very impressed by all the products recommended and provided to us by Venom over the years, and we continue to receive great support from them. This has been integral in allowing us to focus on what we do best, so that we can better serve our clients. All the work that we do relies heavily on computational output, and our Venom BlackBooks ensure that we continue to do this flawlessly.”
