Concept

A cabin hidden in birch woodland, used as a weekend retreat as the summer ends and the leaves turn bright yellow.

The cabin itself is formed of two key materials. The bottom half is the remains of an abandoned red brick folly, saved from ruin by the intervention of the sleek modern metal-clad cabin inserted within, and extending out from, its footprint. A central courtyard provides an indoor-outdoor experience for the inhabitants.

Method

Model the base cabin in FormZ or ArchiCAD, and then export to Lumion 7.5 to build up the scene. Not sure on landscape yet. Use Megascans for leaf debris on the ground. Hopefully post-process in Photoshop.
