URBAN ARCHITECTURE

This project was in collaboration with Millerhare, based in London. The project centered on a real-life location in Kings Cross, London. Millerhare supplied the foundational models, and we were tasked with developing the concept, lighting, materials, and camera angles. Our objective was to create a detailed view that offered a thorough perspective of the building and its surroundings.

I was responsible for the retail area. My goal was to capture their essence by creating a blue hour atmosphere, enhancing both interior and exterior lighting to elevate the public space. Throughout the process, I utilized parallaxes for the first time and experimented with lightmix. I completed the project by adding finishing touches in Photoshop.

Project length: 3 weeks/ Software used: 3Ds Max, Corona, Photoshop​​​​​​​

THE CHAIR PROJECT

The Chair project required us to create a 3D model of an existing chair entirely from scratch, using only reference images. Our goal was to achieve realism by applying accurate materials and textures. After completing the chair model, we produced both a studio and a promotional advertisement image. I selected the Pigreco chair by Tacchini, designed by Tobia Scarpa, for this project.

THE ANIMATION PROJECT

The brief of this project was to create an animation with 3Ds Max and After Effects. I chose to make a new scene with a new kitchen and living room. I included my Pigreco chair from the previous project.

THE VILLA PROJECT 

For this project, our goal was to craft an attractive and accurate image using CAD drawings from Alingsås Huspaket. We modeled the villa ourselves and situated it somewhere in Scandinavia. We had the freedom to select the lighting, camera angles, and materials, ensuring they matched the moodboards we created at the start. 

Project length: 4 weeks/ Software used: 3Ds Max, V-ray, Rail CLone, Forest Pack, Photoshop

THE RENOVATION PROJECT

The brief was to find a house in great need of renovation and explore its potential. Two rooms were to be renovated, in my case the kitchen area and living room. I based my choices on the target audience, ‘the newly formed family,’ and selected decor, props, and materials accordingly. The house is located in Broby, Sweden.
