Some time ago we were very fortunate to do some schematic design for a house on Sauvie Island. We went through a couple of iterations before circumstances halted the project. We wanted to share some of the early visuals we used during our discussions.
We were recently given the opportunity to present initial ideas for a possible project in Canada. The project is only entering the conceptual stage at the moment so we wanted to give the client a few very schematic iterations focused on the form and feel of the building.
We started from several scaled sketches.
We then used SketchUp to quickly model four possible variations. We used shadows and 3d warehouse people to give depth to the concept, and to provide a sense of scale and reality. Finally, we used scenes to pick a few choice views and used the animation feature to create short clips for each model.
At this stage we didn't want to impart too much reality or detail, so we're happy with the way they turned out.
