Located between the low-lying neighborhood of Puu-Raksila and the high-rising city center, the complex will connect districts through large, arching openings puncturing through a dynamic, horizontal profile, while providing new housing for the city.

The aim of the visuals was to show how the scale and the character of the building are woven into the city.

Our job was to support this concept, and show it the best possible way. Because of the three very different views, we made a heavy, detailed 3D model of the whole environment, and not only the building itself.

Supporting the core concept, we added city activities to the still images: all the details tell something about the building’s functionality.

This level of richness is in a harmonic contrast with the very simple but brilliant design of the building.

This is a personal project from a year ago. It was my first ArchVIZ scene that I got to do from start to finish (not just modeling or some shading) where my goal was to apply some theories I knew about, but never applied in a real work (my attempt on “PBR” shading and so on).

As you can see I tried to recreate a photo by Meson’s kitchen company (don’t know the photographers or designers name though) although in the end I was lacking time and grew tired of looking for exact textures or trying to imitate light in exact manner so the result is obviously not 100% the same.
