Making of ‘Strawberry Vale’

Earlier this month, Will Rayner posted a striking image of the ‘Strawberry Vale’ Riverside House they did for Dyer Grimes Architects. I love this BOX on BOX house design and the image seemed like a perfect blend of 3d and photographed elements that I wanted to learn more about what went on behind the scenes. Will was very happy to share with us this making of both exterior and interior images made in this project. Enjoy!

State of Art Academy / Master Class #6

With recent news about SOA’s Academy Day #4 and the completion of MasterClass #6 I thought it will be nice to feature the great work of the students of class #6 and what they think and feel about their experience. I came to know SOA back in early 2010 seeing Roberto’s ‘Maison Hermes’ visual and since then I’ve been in constant contact with Gianpiero & Roberto and attended Academy Days #2 & #3 and loved every minute of it! Taking my online acquaintance with them to a personal level I can say (as we do In my family) they are True Mensch! I will not miss Academy Day #4 and hope to see you there too.
