The Paris Apartment

project location: Paris, France semester of completion: Spring 2019 duration: 3 weeks programs + techniques: Fully By Hand

The Paris Apartment is located in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, France. Located in the center of the city, the apartment design is meant to mimic the city-life exhibited directly outside of the apartment. The design follows a busy yet intricate design.

This project was assigned specifically to hone hand-sketching and rendering skills. Hand-renders have helped sharpen my meticulous nature, as well as further enhancing my attention to detail level 1 not to scale

The floor plan was completed first as a way to properly lay out furniture and artwork. Bedroom and bathroom spaces were to the second floor and rendered “out of scope.”

Each detail was first drawn in pencil, then rendered and colorized with markers and colored pencils. The final touch, to go in with a black ink pen and a white ink pen to take advantage of highlights and lowlights.
