CARGO 25 North Colonnade

For this project we had the pleasure to collaborate with Assembly Studios on a visualisation of the existing CARGO building located on 25 North Colonnade in London. My intention for the concept was highlighting important local characteristics as London's central business district.

The Hotel

For this project a concept for a hotel and spa in Ho-Chi Minh, Vietnam was created. The interiors were designed with traditional Vietnamese architecture in mind, while also being mindful to pay homage to Vietnamese heritage without neglecting contemporary comfort. The materials that are utilized is concrete, steel, glass and traditional local wood along with some lush greenery that is very prominent in Vietnam.

Matte Painting

For this matte painting assignment the task was to depict a scene using a rough 3D base created in 3ds Max and photographic elements in Photoshop. A reference picture was used as a guideline to build the scene and the photographs were adjusted to match the reference and the tone of the composition.
