The 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.

A one container basement. Two container first floor. One container on the 2nd floor, and a deck for entertaining. This container home packs a home theater, bedrooms, kitchen, soap opera stairs, and even a grand piano into 1280 square feet!

CABINS entry by joanpastor

I always liked the idea of ​​a view on a cliff, something that gave a feeling of total loss of the sense of subjectivity and overturned you in the landscape. On the other hand, I wanted the proposal to be integrated in an organic way in thshape of its location, even penetrating into it.

CABINS entry by amores

Since my childhood I have always admired Don Quixote’s struggle with the windmills.

Even today I am amazed how excellent we were to use the natural resources we had most at hand.

I still remember in my youth, me and my grandfather, taking a donkey laden with bags of corn to a water mill to make flour.

CABINS entry by Simone

I used the sourced images as a reference to make the plans for two selected variations of the cabins.
Drawing the plans gave me a better understanding on how the cabins are build up, about their size and proportion. I also implemented some ideas for the props and the surrounding scenery in the illustrations. As a next step I will start modelling the main elements in 3ds Max.
