Hoxton Housing

Getting more into the technical challenges of this project.
The most challenging part was certainly the modelling of the brick pattern. We decided to model every single brick instance to achieve the more realistic result. Unfortunately this wasn’t possible to achieve by simply using displacement maps.
We also started this project using Vray GPU. We really wanted to test the limitations of GPU rendering.
What we found out is that despite being really fast for small scenes, as soon as we started to model some context, we ran quickly out of VRam.
So we had to go back to CPU rendering to finish the project.
Another challenge was to visualise the building from the surrounding streets which were quite narrow and required a wider field of view than we would have liked, however this became an opportunity to make some of the images even more dramatic.

I hope you enjoy the project.

House in Monsaraz | Aires Mateus

/in , , , /by

For our new archviz work, we selected the amazing House in Monsaraz designed by Portuguese architect Aires Mateus and inspired by the talented architectural photographer João Guimarães.
The most important target of our production is to grab and understand the contrasted relationship between this architectural impacting element and the surrounding landscape .
We used 3DS Max + ForestPack + Vray + Photoshop.

ENCLOSED HOUSE

/in , , , , /by

Cloister house opens out onto a central courtyard, with thick, exterior walls that only have thin, arrow-slit openings giving glimpses in and out. The concrete provides shelter from strong winds and harsh sun, with its thermal mass creating a temperate environment inside that can be naturally ventilated via the internal courtyard.

“Upon visiting the site we realised there was some reconciliation to be done,” said the architecture studio. “In order to achieve the sense of privacy and respite from the surrounding suburban landscape we decided the house should be enclosed, inward looking and occupy the edges of the site.”

This project is a pretext to test different things. I used 3ds max, forest pack, quixel mega scan and photoshop.

Hope you like.
