We were very pleased to work on this project for architects Atelier Estimo.
The dream house is located on a beautiful southern slope overlooking Zurich.

The functional and exquisite design is perfectly combined with clear lines of the facade.
The harmony of natural materials of wood, concrete and stone creates an atmosphere of comfort and coziness.

Silent Meditation Forest Cabin Competition Renderings

/in , , , , , /by

The Competition asked that the designers propose a design that would provide a comfortable living accommodation to a single person for 4-5 days. It had to be in operation for all seasons of the year, to contain a sufficient clear floor area for meditation. It also needed to include an area to store small amounts of food and water, alternative lighting options as well as a way to heat the place in the winter months.

Our design focused on being built in the forest area as well as around the small lake.

Although we didn’t win anything it was a fun competition to be a part of and a learning experience.

Classical Study

/in , , /by

I normally work with more modern/contemporary designs, but have always had an appreciation for classical and Parisian design, so for this project I wanted to go out of my comfort zone a little. I only did 3 renders for this at the time, but have fully built out the set so it will be ready for any potential reuse.

I used Fstorm for all tonemapping, and just used PSDs Camera raw for a little noise reduction.

Hope you enjoy! If you would like to see more of my work, check out my behance page below.

Solitude

/in /by

Hi everyone ! I would like to share this project which I did recently . It was a commissioned project earlier but due to some reasons it wasn’t approved by the client. So me and the architect changed the surroundings while keeping the design and landscaping same as the actual proposal.

The landscaping of the ground and distribution of plants, trees, etc has been entirely created with Corona Displacement and Corona Scatter. No megascans assets were used. Trees, shrubs and some furniture is from @evermotion. Hdri from @pgskies and finally rendered with @coronarenderer in 3DS Max.

“May I take your order?”

One of my latest commissioned projects. Visualization of a new kiosk with cafe in Amersfoort, Netherlands. The main goal was to capture the kiosk in the middle of a busy shopping centre and highlight the possible way of it being used as a cafe bar. Software used was 3ds max for modeling, Vray for rendering and shading and photoshop for adding cut out people, colour balance and finalising the image. Hope you like the final result!
