Penthouse Island Kitchen

Composing a kitchen layout often means using standardised cabinets, which may not be an ideal fit for the interior space. Here we’ve allowed more creativity with the cabinetry created to suit the penthouse architecture with an angular ceiling and large skylight windows. This floods the interior and the feature island unit with light.

The Devil Is In The Detail

“The Devil Is In The Detail” is my latest animation.
I will try to take you to a special architecture trip through the anamorphic format and all of its lens effects and distortions and also to take you to a higher level on the the amount of details in textures than any other of my previous animations.

Please watch it at 1080p!

Special Thanks to Mary Carmen Simonín and Ricardo Ortiz for their artistic and technical support!

Thank you for watching!

Tara Iti Ocean Suites

The Tara Iti Ocean Suites project was created to showcase the design of proposed visitor accommodation for the recently completed Tara Iti Golf Course in New Zealand.

The Ocean Suites sit within the link land in between the Pacific Ocean and the golf course itself offering high end accommodation for the quests of the course and it’s members

Designed to sit naturally in their dune environment, the Ocean Suites provide curated comfort after a day on the links or in the surf.

The project was completed using Unreal Engine before the advent of hybrid ray tracing and provided a chance to create animation in real time rather than using traditional offline techniques. The project was created working with Architect, Ella Darby and Herringbone Design for interior design and styling direction. The models were largely created in 3DS max before being imported into Unreal Engine. The free form roof structure was created using Rhino and Grasshopper as these model were later used for manufacture.

Façades

The facades of individuals portrayed through those of architecture.

Facades hide flaws, failings and – ultimately – reality. In the past decade, the structures surrounding us have been cosmetically overhauled; covering the deeper, economic faults.

Can parallels be found between these architectural fronts and the fronts put up by a community?

The visuals and its narration attempt to demonstrate that it doesn’t matter; aesthetics trumps all.

“What we seek, at the deepest level, is inwardly to resemble, rather than physically to possess, the objects and places that touch us through their beauty. “– Alain de Botton
