REGENERATING

A modern and organic regeneration of the Sydney urban textile that perfectly merges with the heritage existing volumes. A challenging competition entry we illustrated for Woods Bagot where the rejuvenation of the historical Surry Hills Shopping Village highlights the reinterpretation of the heritage shapes.

I remember coming across a post about this building on Peter Guthrie’s blog years ago, when I was just starting looking into CGI, and since then I wanted to recreate the architecture and the mood in CGI.
I’ve finally found some spare hours at night to recreate the atmosphere, tweaking some things here and there according to my taste.
The challenge was to re-create patiently everything in 3D, exteriors, interiors and environment, with just some few late night hours of work. Patience, perseverance and a good hardware setup made the trick.
Only disappointment is the crazy amount of noise generated by HDRIs and the extra render time needed to clean it.
