My cabin is right in-between the forest. The lush big green trees dropping their shadow on the cabin keeping it cool. A cabin away from the human noise and close to natural sounds. Living room and kitchen open to the forest while the stairway and bedroom facing the open starry sky and huge trees.
After the first sketches, I first took a look at the cabin shape and the way I wanted it to work. It will be a rather simple space, wide open on one side, more a comfy shelter than a real buikding actually.
I then take a step back and start sketching the surrounding, trying to give it some scale. You will see in the pictures some test for the surrounding environnement (of course, the textures here will be replace by 3D buildings)
There is also, for those who want to try, a quick spherical pano, done in Thea4su. I try to understand how to upload it on Yulio, but haven’t figured it yet… So feel free to download it and try it, with a tool such as FSPviewer (it’s a small free software that allows to see panorama in windows).
Greetings! I would like to take a part in the competition. I thought about exploring winter Lapland landscapes. My cabin will probably be more traditional looking but I will develop the final look during the incoming sketches so everything can still happen.
Swamp, marsh, fen, mist, woods, wet, dark, specular, inhospitable, alone, silence, contrast.
It took me a long time until I found a reference that really inspired me to make a start with my entry.
I want to try and capture the elegance of the design and it’s fusion with the surroundings.
I may simplify the design slightly if down the line time becomes a bit tight…
The other images are reference for the type of lush environment I want to create.
These are a few short sketches in composition to study landscape assets and orientation of the cabin.
