Villa Mosca Bianca

/in , , , , /by

Nestled on the shoreline of Lago Maggiore, Villa Mosca Bianca embraces its natural landscape, merging sustainability and lifestyle within it’s form. The layout and atmosphere has been designed as a reflection of the owners day-to-day routine to be a setting for meditation, outdoor dining and water views whilst visiting his holiday home in the outskirts of Lake Como. The materiality and form of the architecture extends to the landscape – to show that relation and the scale of it was the key point of my image.

Set in what was once a thick pine needle forest, a terraced landscape was carefully carved out opening up the house to the expansive lake beyond and a stunning, 180 view of sunsets over the surrounding mountains. The villa’s form undulates to create alternating internal rooms and external terraces like a series of fingers moving between inside and outside as they reach into the landscape.

At its heart is a central atrium housing a 70-year tree. The tree garden and atrium is open to the sky flooding the residence with natural light and visually connects the surrounding rooms and central staircase, whilst acting as a rain water collector and a passive air system for the villa. Complementing these systems: solar panels, rain water collecting and heat pumps help to produce 60% of the villa’s sustainable energy.

From the villa’s interiors. the landscape terraces down to the waterfront, providing plenty of moments for pause and reflection starting the day with harvesting vegetables from the organic garden for breakfast to dinner to gathering around the outdoor fire-pit after sunset. Each of these moments have become part of the client’s daily routine facilitated by an architecture that allows them to live, breathe, and play in this sustainable and comfortable ambience.

The Norwegian way of living visualized by A-Squared Studio through a series of interior and exterior 3D renders.

The CG images convey the idyllic atmosphere of the modern house in this isolated lakeside location. Panoramic floor to ceiling windows look out from this cosy space to the beautiful Nisser lake, the perfect setting for a serene holiday home.

Morphology of form is a research project focusing on the sculptural representation of two polar opposites: natural and human-made environments. The main purpose of these images is to open the spatial potential of the sculpture.

CAVERN SONANCES

/in , , /by

I created my short film between february and March 2020. My short animation was inspired by Jeita Grotto Theatre – Jørn Utzon’s vision of a theatre hidden in the insides of Jeita cave in Lebanon. Building was never built and only imagination can make it alive. I started with analysing architect´s paper sketches and transferring them into full shapes in 3D Software (Rhinoceros, Blender). I modelled all the necessary details. Next step was even more interesting! Now I had to understand what was the motivation for the building to appear in such an extraordinary space. I had to imagine,how one enters the space, what he/she feels, hears or even smells. I created series of shots in 3D using Unreal Engine and Twinmotion. I post-produced my animation in Adobe After Effects.

Cavern Sonances | PLOT

* SKETCH*

Journey begins with the sketch. Drawing of a rchitect´s vision of a theatre hidden in the insides of Cave. The Paper starts to reveal creases, disintegrates to once and for all morph into a shape of a cavern stone.
FOSSIL
Cavern ground,shaped by the erosion is reassembling fossilized skeleton. Relics form a framework of the theatre. It seems, as if building shapes ware buried here from prehistoric times.

*BURNING COAL*

Ground gently heats with a burning campfire coal. Smoke fills the air.Fossil specimens break their outer shells. They now, rise from the ground in shapes of equally sized steel segments. Theatre nest skeleton is being assembled.

*ENTER IN COLD*

I enter Grotto silently. This place is filled with mysteries. I can feel drops of water suspended in the air. Water is spilling over rocks. Fog sits on the ground. Seems like, time has been frozen forever.
Now, I need to sharpen my senses to let the vague light and natural acoustics to direct me. Distant hints let me see fragile glare, almost like a dying fire.

*APPEAR*

Lights become warmer. I cannot help being spellbound by enigmatic nature of the place. Coarse, rock wall is bathed in a golden light. Long shadow figures follow the rhythm along the narrow corridors. I fi nally glide across the space, where gently lit theater structure reveals.

*SCENE*

I take a seat. Scene is lit with white smoke swirl. Audience is gathering. Instruments are being tuned. Artist is swept in flames like a candle wick.
