In lieu of utilizing Sketchup’s Photomatch, I created a 3D model of the client’s property to showcase the proposed structure from multiple angles. This allowed me to visually present how the completed patio would look on-site, meeting one of the permit conditions required by the community. The 3D model provided the client with a clear and comprehensive understanding of the project, enhancing communication and ensuring a well-informed decision-making process.

ROCKY FORD, COLORADO, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

“Provided by the client are the photographs below for a renovation project located in Rocky Ford, Colorado, USA. With the vision of transforming it to a lively establishment and provide the local with a place of entertainment, I have given the client lots of options/design inspiration for him to choose. After a lot of revisions and meeting with the client, the old empty building is now repurposed as a Brewworks and Art Gallery, to which he also emphasized to retain some of the elements such as the mural signage at the side.

sales area:

A FLOOR PLAN AND PERSPECTIVE TEST RENDER

In this personal project, my primary aim is to enhance and refine my skills in design conceptualization, specifically focusing on 3D modeling and rendering. I have chosen to apply modern design principles to achieve a sleek and elegant aesthetic for the facade of a sales area. The facade is a crucial element in attracting potential customers and creating a lasting impression, so I’m dedicated to perfecting this aspect of architectural design.

One notable feature of my project is the emphasis placed on a pocket garden situated outside the sales area. This garden not only adds a touch of natural beauty but also highlights the tranquility it can provide to users. By integrating this green space into the design, I aim to create a harmonious environment that enhances the overall user experience. This project serves as a valuable platform for me to showcase my creativity and commitment to modern design while honing my 3D modeling and rendering skills, ultimately enabling me to create aesthetically pleasing and functional architectural concepts.
