Before the Beginning

 Composing a song or to compose an image is for me a similar way of thinking - it's all about trying to convey a feeling and a story. This is something I want to communicate with my architectual visualizations. To include, be perceptive and to show the humane factor in my creations is important to me. 

SOMMARVILLAN, Innerstadens Arkitekter

The brief was to model a villa using house plans from AutoCad. Only by using Forest Pack for the vegetation.

This is SOMMARVILLA_01 from Innerstadens Arkitekter where I got the two options to either make the villa with wood panel, or plaster. I chose to make this house with white plasterd facade and copper-colored tin roof. Due to the fact that the house would be located in southern Sweden, I added a farmhouse at the backyard.

The video above is an animation I made in May 2022, using 3Ds Max and Adobe After Effects

Before I started to texture in 3D, I created a moodboard and rendered a simple volume at 3Ds Max to clarify the vegetation, textures and environment and how everything matched together.

CARGO 25

A collaboration with Assembly Studios, LONDON

This was my first large-scale archviz, and it was a part of Urban Architecture and was given to us from Assembly Studios in London. They gave invaluable feedback thoughout the process and supplied us with material  such as drawings,  material specifications, previous visualizations and a 3D model of the building and its surroundings.

MOODBOARD to Assembly Studios

When I started to make research about the Cargo building, I quickly decided that I wanted to show the amazing connection to the DLR-train and Crossrail Place station that the Cargo building has. I got inspirered by visualizations by Vismo, DK and Brick Visuals, HU that is made inside a train, and thought that it would be a perfect visualization for this project.

As a amazing coincidence I was heading by train to Stockholm the week the project started, and got to take alot of pictures in the train to use in the project.

HOTEL ZOLOTO

Hotel Zoloto - The Hotel Concept Challenge

This was a group assignment where the brief was to create a hotel concept based of a given location. The goal was to capture the local culture and the city in a modern way, to attract people from all over the world. It took alot of research to achive this project. 

Our group got St. Petersburg and as we divided the different faculties between us, I got the reception area. It was important to match our visualizations in the group, to make it look like the same photographer took all of the images.

The chess is modelled by me and was one of our first 3d-project - happy that it came to use!

FYI: This project was created before the horrific war Putin started in Ukraine february 2022

LÄNSTOL, Norrgavel

Modelled and textured by me, using 3ds Max and Corona Renderer.

Chair designed by Norrgavel, Nirvan Richter.

This was modelling challenge, where the brief was to reproduce a designer chair in 3Ds Max with only pictures as reference. It was important to make a 3d model that was modelled and textured correctly, and rendered with a level of detail and quality.

LÅSBYLYCKORNA 11 

The Renovation Project

I found a cosy little one-storey house located in the northen part of Gothenburg. My intended client was the newly formed family with a taste for bohemian and modern scandinavian interior design. I wanted to create a cosy home with a playful but also conscious modern approach. I decided to retain the camera view from the original photos and also retain the floor- and roof panel, but also to make the rooms more modern by higher the ceiling and replace the wall panels with plain walls.

MATTEPAINTING

Matte Painting, the Photoshop Challenge

The goal of this exercise was to visualize an idea without relying on 3D and focus more on artistic values than on realism. The image started with a simple volume of a house I made in 3Ds Max and the texture, materials and all the environment was made in Photoshop.

So, that was all of the visualizations I've made since september! Feel free to drop a high-five if you saw something you liked. Thank you for checking in my work :)
