R_House

This series of images looks to capture different atmospheres and moments that the client may find during the everyday. By creating a holistic 3D environment, the project was able to be explored in full and the images were not limited to preconceived compositions. This process allows for the images to tell a more realistic story of the place.

Located in on a secluded site, surrounded by tall pines, this project breaks the typical house plan into three programmatic volumes. This separation allows each room to have maximum access to light and views of the forest. These different volumes are connected by two small programmed passageways, and are unified by a single roof line that is manipulated to allow for a loft space and unique spatial moments that gather light. This singular canopy ties the project together, giving each volume it’s own unique spatial and lighting qualities, while resonating with the surrounding tree canopy.

The massing strategy also allows the project to be built over the course of multiple phases that fit the client’s changing lifestyle, family size, and timeline.

B&TB + Koen Van Vlesen: Two Worlds

Recently we had the nice task of portraying the extension of the Singer Laren Museum in the Netherlands.
Always a hard balance act trying not to make museums look too overcrowded or a parody of themselves.
We guess it is a matter of relying in more delicate gestures.
The project is by our nice friends of Koen Van Velsen.
Have a nice week you all.

Vikings and Japan

Vikings and Japan.

Two totally non-matching styles blended together in our 3D visualization project. This was a request from our client who was opening a new Japan market for his A-frame houses.
The main idea behind these two styles is to proof that A-frame houses could be located in any environment. Just to fade away any concerns about how such houses will look like in Japan style – we created our visualizations.

B&TB + Henn Architekten: Grid

B&TB + Henn Architekten
It was really fun and rewarding working in this project with our nice friends @ Henn Architekten.
Meeting architects that are not afraid of winter trees and melacholic mood is always a plus.
Ride on!
