Glass, Fork, Caustics

Playing and trying some composition with common decoration from every day to explore caustics properties from glass.
Photography has always been a fascinating subject to me – not only architectural, but also from artists like André Kertész, Albert Renger-Patzsch and Ansel Adams. I believe as archviz professionals, one can learn so much from black and white photography.

A good year – Wine tasting pavilion in Portugal

Portugal is known internationally for its wines and beautifully located vineyards. This unbuilt project from Syd Fay Studio imagination proposed a simple yet striking wine tasting pavilion that could just as easily be fully open for a beautiful Summer evening as it could be completely closed during Winter duration, while retaining facade transparency to enjoy its surroundings.

We assisted the architects in showing how the pavilion would communicate visually with the vineyard in sunny weather and in it’s closed wintery form.

We were given free rein for the images and also in the interior furnishing of the pavilion. For this we decided to go with Branca-Design pieces which fit with the elegant and lightweight language of the small building.

Stanmore bay 18

For these images, we decided to use special plugins for water simulation to create an entire 3D environment to be free in terms of background for the future Animation that we will be developing. The Plugin used for the Ocean simulation was Hot4D for Cinema4D and the Trees and plants are from Forester.
