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.

I went past a weekend-house on a lake last winter, a small house with amazing view which inspired me much to re-create such setting.
After starting to mock up a scene in 3d and playing with the layout of the building i remembered a project i wanted to take on for ages: Some kind of “System” for small get-away-homes – kind of a “formula”
Well I went on with the initial plan to design a set of small houses, define facade systems and landscape to some kind of generically combine those.
I started this during summer holidays. The project went to sleep after that, unfortunately.

Just to be woken up again by this challenge.
Long story short: I will take one of the small houses I layed out (it is the U-shaped one, inspired by a building by toop architectuur) willing to place it in a setting similar to the forests surrounding my home town – sandy baltic pine forests.

I am very excited to get this going – and work some more on nice landscaping detail 🙂

So far just the cabins modelled in 3DS Max, with an architectural background the cabins seem to be the easy part, the landscape is proving a little harder and I’m busy watching tutorials on anything that will produce a terrain that looks right. I have UE4 and am exploring the terrain generation process but would really appreciate any hints on producing realistic rocks, coastlines etc.

A frame Cabin. I have compiled a collection of images to picturise my idea of a cabin. I would like it to be minimal in design. It will be an open design, looking towards not creating something which is very closed. Please feel free to visit my pinterest board for the references I will be using for this. I will keep updating as I go.

CABINS entry by adrian see

A small land on the middle of a hill, which is more long than wide, I put this square on the top of the land. I cut the square in two with the median area being the huge glass wall which looks to the valley and also to the other half of the square which was made as a terrace. On the right side of the building is actually a narrow access road, and the main entrance in the building. The back of the building we brought it into the ground to provide a better merge with the hill side and to offer a better insulation to the interior spaces. These images were made it for presenting an idea about the concept, so didn’t respect exactly the reality.
