Group project aimed at visualising a hotel design in Connemara, Ireland.
For this project, I worked with two classmates. We were to create a concept and visual material (one image per member) for a hotel in a given location. The brief specified that the images created by each member must work together and sell the same idea.
My group was assigned to bring forward an idea fitting for Connemara, Ireland. Researching this area, located in western County Galway, gave us an insight into its most vital landscape elements: cliffs, heaths, shorelines, and sheep. It is also a place of significant historical meaning, with architectural remnants from war-ridden times still found across the lands today.
Complementing our research about local conditions and environments, a moodboard was created to set the theme and atmosphere of our hotel. We got the idea to restore an old ruin and add an infill to it – merging the existing structure and the newly built; mixing heritage with homage.
For this reason, we took inspiration from a country house in Verona, Italy (top left), where modern elements were added to an old building. The hotel is aimed to reflect an Irish style – for instance, wool blankets and local furniture – with a Scandinavian touch.
Timelapse of building the lobby scene, showing renders as well as post-production. Most of the work was done in 3Ds Max and Corona renderer – only minor corrections and adjustments were done in post-production.
Most of the assets were downloaded, but some were modelled with Irish furniture-making in mind. Two such examples are the front desk (inspired by a sideboard by Martin Gallagher furniture) and the coffee table on the right.
Tools used: 3Ds Max, Corona, Megascans, Photoshop
