We were very pleased to work on this project for architects Atelier Estimo.
The dream house is located on a beautiful southern slope overlooking Zurich.

The functional and exquisite design is perfectly combined with clear lines of the facade.
The harmony of natural materials of wood, concrete and stone creates an atmosphere of comfort and coziness.

Silent Meditation Forest Cabin Competition Renderings

The Competition asked that the designers propose a design that would provide a comfortable living accommodation to a single person for 4-5 days. It had to be in operation for all seasons of the year, to contain a sufficient clear floor area for meditation. It also needed to include an area to store small amounts of food and water, alternative lighting options as well as a way to heat the place in the winter months.

Our design focused on being built in the forest area as well as around the small lake.

Although we didn’t win anything it was a fun competition to be a part of and a learning experience.

Recreation of Frank Lloyd Wright unbuilt projects

I have been collaborating with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in the recreation of the Gordon Strong Automobile Objective.

This work can be seen in the upcoming issue of the Frank Lloyd Wright Quarterly magazine. The magazine focuses on the design for Gordon Strong but includes views of three other works strongly related to the automobile: Butterfly Wing Bridge, Valley National Bank, and Roy Wetmore Car Repair and Showroom, all of them spectacular designs but, for different reasons never came to be built.

architecture and nature

it been a long time since I wanted to try Quixel Megascans on one of our projects. We decided to use them in this ocation because we have much more artistic licenses than in others real state projects. We are very happy with the results and wishing to take a lot more advantage of this kind of 3d scanned objects, than bring to life architectural scenes.
