XT3 Building
The so called XT3 building was designed by Allard Architecture. We were asked to make 2 images of this building to convince the clients of the design.
B&TB + Koht Architects: Gjovik
It may seem appropiate to post these chilly images at this time of the year to cool the spirits so we needed to showcase some of the material we made for our cool friends of Koht. The merit is from Norway and its incredible dreamy landscape.
We are a few hours ahead from our holidays so more action back in September. See you soon in Vienna.

The Cultural Oyster
A simple and natural shape for a cultural centre that embraces a green park resembling a bivalve pouch. As usual a tight deadline can push you to describe at its best even a bunch of lines and a simple concept for a space of culture and aggregation. It’s always rewarding when the final goal is locked in the architect’s mind but we have the freedom to describe it in the way we picture it.

Micro cabins on rocks
Some time ago I came across into micro cabins contest but I didn’t have anything particular in mind on that moment. I thought it’s a good opportunity to model something small, but with a much better detail then in everyday quick jobs, where detail is not a priority.
I found that group of micro cabins in forest outside Colorado, designed by University of Colorado Denver. It was a bit of a challenge to make the hot-rolled steel look convincing. Great, raw-looking material though.
At start I planned to place it in original surroundings, but then I experimented with terrain and Forest Pack Pro and came to the conclusion that both of these, the cabin and terrain, fit each other pretty well.
Terrain with some random height map from google, terrain texture is also a random Himalayan satellite capture, so it may look weird in some places. Maybe I’ll try terrain generator later on.
hdrihaven.com – great source of hdri’s. Kiara 8 Sunset was used on this one.
ground texture – RDT vol.1 – rocky ground 2 – unfortunately it may look a bit repetetive

Photoshop – little to medium compositing, also levels and colors made in Camera Raw – awesome tool.
Wolf, backpack, sun flares and some clouds also made with PS.

VIVIENDA EN LA CUMBRE
LA INSPIRACIÓN PARA LA VISUALIZACIÓN DEVINO DE MI NIÑEZ, DE LAS TARDES DE VERANO EN EL CAMPO JUNTO A MIS PRIMOS JUGANDO EN EL PRADO, CON LOS LIMITES DEL BOSQUE A NUESTRO ALREDEDOR Y LAS MONTAÑAS DE FONDO.
ESA LUZ CÁLIDA Y SUBE DEL ATARDECER, LAS LORAS PINTANDO EL CIELO Y LOS CABALLOS PASTANDO A LA PAR DE NUESTRA JUEGOS.
LA CLAVE ESTUVO EN UN BUEN ENFOQUE COMO UN ZOOM DEL TODO, QUE ME TRASMITIRÁ LA HISTORIA COMPLETA DE ESE RECUERDO Y PUSIERA A TODOS LOS ACTORES EN ESCENA SIN QUE NINGUNO PASE DESAPERCIBIDO .
CON RESPECTO A LA PARTE TÉCNICA FUE SIMPLE PERO CONTUNDENTE, LA IMAGEN DE REFERENCIA ESTABA EN MI RECUERDO, LA LUZ COMO SIEMPRE ES LA CLAVE ATMOSFÉRICA DEL TODO.
