Greetings to all, the design of my cabin is based on several references of homes of ancient cultures of Peru, homes immersed in nature, mimicked in their environment, such as The windows of Otuzco, Las Chullpas and The house of the Smurfs in Apurimac, In turn, use concepts of space, hierarchy and duality, present in these cultures. I hope to evolve my idea.
This is an idea with a mini cabin I’ve downloaded from sketchup, but in that scenario I’m planing to create my own.
It is what we lack in modern society, the sense of world stood still, just for a moment… to be able to stop with our daily routine and look around. Take some time to digest the butty of nature around us to stimulate our creative instincts. This is how I would describe my project theme – “Calm Solitude”.
Based on my statement above I started to look for appropriate mood images of remote locations. These images gave me some initial thoughts regarding where the Cabin is going to be located and how it is going to look. From the beginning, I wanted to include water in my future scenery.
The actual Cabin design was inspired by strong silhouettes of sail yachts and mountains in Isle of Skye (Scotland). I wanted to create building form which will blend with the environment, but at the same time be a statement of its own.
As usual, I have stared with pen and paper, I feel like using my hands gives me a better understanding of proportions and rhythm of future building and composition.I have also prepared an initial physical model to test the silhouette of the building.
Next step will probably is going to be modelling the building. And setting up the composition.
I haven’t designed my cabin. I was looking for industrial theme cabin and I found it on old good SketchUp 3D warehouse. It perfectly fits into my concept. We all are in “The Circle” of something. We wake up, we work (most of us), we listen to all the bullshit, we eat and we go to sleep and we loose touch with nature. We thing that Nature is granted, it is not. We, as humans are slowly destroying it. My response to Cabin challenge should showcase the breathtaking and raw beauty of the nature,I hope ;-). We should take a moment and reconnect with her. Yes HER!!! However she can be a nasty b..ch, sometimes..
I was having problems trying to think of how to model the environment. I finally came up with the idea of using sandbox plugin in Sketchup as a base. I then created a hexagon that I copied an instance of. I picked the hexagons randomly using randomSelect, grouped them, and dropped them on the sandbox model, this I repeated a number of times, each time I tweeked the sandbox model to get a random height for the hexagons upon the sandbox model.
Now that I have this model I will start designing the cabin… hopefully.
