OH! House by Takeru Shoji Architects

My goal was to limit post-production proces in this project to basic photographic methods.
Except the winter image most of the elements are full 3d (falling snow added in PS).
I started this personal project more than 2 years ago, but due to the lack of free time it ended on modeling.
Last time I decidet to test OTOY octane in some exterior work, so before testing on clients I decided to finish this personal work.

Severe Norwegian landscapes: gloomy mountains looking from under the brow, cold lakes frightening their depth and
emptiness between them served as the main leitmotif of this work.
The expression of my personal experiences formed the basis of the conceptual statement on the topic of space and place of man in society.
A conscious escape from civilization that plunges us daily into gigabytes of useless information to meet oneself,
personal inner world..

The wheel’s hub holds thirty spokes
Utility depends on the hole through the hub.
The potter’s clay forms a vessel.
It is the space within that serves.
A house is built with solid walls
The nothingness of window and door alone
renders it usable,
That which exists may be transformed
What is non-existent has boundless uses.
(с) LAO-TSE

It is unlikely that any other quote could have conveyed the essence of this interior so accurately!

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for reading books, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire, it is the time for a Cabin”
