Mountain Bowen House

/in , , , , , , , /by

I came across a photo of this view a few years back and recreated it using tools I wanted to explore such as the Substance suite. The main structure was modeled in Sketchup and then imported in 3ds Max for detailing. Some of the objects are scanned assets from Quixel megascans but most of it was custom modelled, including the foreground plants using Grow Fx. After the rendering process I tried to get as close to the photograph in post production, making some of it directly into the V-Ray Frame Buffer, then using Camera Raw and some individual elements later on in usual Photoshop.

Escave House

/in , , /by

Escave House is a safe haven, a secret and peaceful place to escape the frantic pace of everyday life and experience the untouched beauty of nature. The architecture blends in with the surrounding landscape, a rocky hillside that we discover from the depths of a cave. The light shapes nature, space and architecture, inviting us to approach the house and wonder what it would be like to live in it.

Casa TRI

/in , , /by

I always loved the idea of building my own cabin surrounded by nature, just to escape every so often from the hustle and bustle of our lives. I started with the “Lake House” and “Casa TRI” came next, just as the quarantine began, reflecting my hopes and fears of these uncertain times. This is a little house, no more than I would actually need, at heights to carefully observe our planet, surrounded by troubled waters : everything seems strangely quiet and invites to the introspection.

Library in Kenya

/in , , /by

Libraries are really needed where there is a strong lack of education. Samburu in Kenya is one of these places.

There are not many schools across the country, especially in small villages, but children and young people still need knowledge, it’s extremely important for the young brain.

African kids got used to difficult living conditions, so they don’t need a fancy library with luxury design and elegant furniture. All they need is just a Roof above the head to protect from the sun and rain, Walls to protect from the cold wind, Electricity to have some light during the night, Few tablets to reach the Internet, and Tones of Books.

So our library will give them all that they need. We are using Local Wood to provide the frame, 3d-printed Panels to make a roof, Solar Panels & Tesla Power Packs to provide electricity, and Recycled Plastic to make furniture.
