Two Dwelling - New presentation style

Richard

Lookin' good, Richard. If you have more images, please do post them.

Thanks mate! I certainly shall post more - I'm working on two similar large projects at the moment so will present all the designs this way as it works in well with the way I model straight from primaries.

I posted a thread ("Fast Modelling") on the PPB a few years ago demonstrating how to model really fast for development of concepts, just using primaries and scaling.

It suits me well as I find the quicker you can create your vision on the fly the less it actually stifles your creativity! I have pretty much done all my modelling this way whether for concept or just for a pretty render!

I got the idea of using black fog from an animation I did some years ago. I'd post it here though not sure how to host the wmv file!

neat mate, very neat.....
It's a similar concept to something I have always wanted to do on a site in my city. [except I don't own it yet... ] I really like that strong central element; it really complements the adjacent lightweight spaces....
would like to see more of the layout some time.

Mate I'll post some deatils on the layout as the job progresses! At this stage it is just putiing forward some ideas of style for the development!

When you see where this site is you'll be absolutely blown away! When I was asked if I wanted to be involved in the project my jaw dropped through the floor!!

BTW mate, why don't you sketch up a proposal and approach the owners, I've picked up a couple of projects that way in the past!

I've thought about that but I would want to build it for myself!!!!

Hey Richard, really cool style and so simple, makes you sit back and think "why did I never think of that before"?
Well Done.

Sorry to digress a little but how are you guys doing down there with the tragedy of these bush fires?
We here in South Africa are thinking and praying for you all!

Thanks for those words mate! Although I live in another state about 12 hours north this tragety is heart felt nationwide! The lost of life and property is seeing the community donate over $1mil an hour to the relief fund - and although this support will mean alot to the recovery of these areas it can in no way relieve the grief these people will feel over their losses!

Thank you mate!

Thank you mate!

We've had a spate of bush fires down in the western Cape which (nowhere near as devastating) has wrecked 1000's of hectares of rare indigenous life, not to mention the 100's of homes etc. Luckily there have been no human deaths that I know of but its still quite shocking. Now we are getting record rains up north (Joburg etc.) and large informal settlements are being washed away, due to their proximity to the rivers.
I suppose the only real positive we can all take out of this is the way tragedy brings communities together and renews hope in mankind in general.

Anyway, enough hijaking of your thread , looking forward to seeing more inspiration from you in the near future.

Thank you for the explanation. Much appreciated

I would have never though to use a black sky.

Sleek. Very sleek. Reminds me of high concept drawings from the 60s where they used black paper/canvas/velvet.

Nice work Richard, great presentation.

Richard

Thanks again all!

Here are a two other images for a small design I did last week for a small river side boathouse.

In this below (draft design) I tried using the PS render > lighting filter to add a subtle spot light effect.

Richard, I like the 1st two images and the last one a lot! As an architect that is. Very fresh and sleek looking. Apocalyptic black sky, hmm.. I'd be interested to know what your client's response is.

Thanks mate! The client loved the images - given though they are for planning not for marketing! Certainly that would need to be considered as they don't create that bright always sunny emotion!

Beautiful presentations.

I first looked at this thread last week, i really like your technique, I've been copying the style a bit for an animation at work. Black is the new black.

Thanks mate! I posted a video to the gallery here - I was digging through my HD the other week and found this old animation I did which gave me the idea for the style of these posted images.
