See Entries & Join! About ConvertedThe 7th Architectural Visualization Challenge I’m running in partnership with Quixel as the marquee sponsor. The book CABINS by Philip Jodidio and the fantastic illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi served as the principal inspiration for this year’s challenge theme. That, and my love for prefab architecture design.
Initial view of the cabin
My wife and I live in a small apartment located in Melbourne, Australia. We are expecting our first son so I decided it would be great to have a place where we can escape for the weekends and holidays which can also be rented when unoccupied.
The architectural program consists of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a maximum occupancy of 7 people when required.
I love grasslands that go on to the horizon. My cabin is situated smack bang in the middle of one, surrounded by nothing but the open air and more grass. Inspired by the architecture of Fearon Hay. The idea is to find a harmony between place and architecture. Placing a strong importance on how the building interacts with the landscape around it.
I’ve finally made it past my concept design! There was a lot of backtracking but i’m finally happy with the overarching concept and bulk of the modelling. From this point on it’s all about the detailed modelling, materials and atmosphere of the shots. I’d love to hear your feedback, more sketchy views coming soon.
Cabin-M is a place to go when you want a complete privacy and to enjoy beautiful views.
The location I chose for my cabin is in the Australian Alpine region known as Dinner Plain, just on the outskirts of Mount Hotham which is around 5 hours away from Melbourne. I’m aware it might be a surprise for many people to know that we have snow in Australia but it is true. Our winter season spans from June to August. It is also quite picturesque to see eucalyptus surrounded by snow.
