church restoration

Our final project this year is a live project. The building is an old chapel and the client wants to convert it into a 4 bedroom house. as far as the interior deco goes the client isnt sure about the overall theme. I was inspired by the development of a small residential building by Baker Kavanagh. what caught my eye was the use of wood. I can imaging the interior of the chapel resembaling this and showing off the true beauty of the natural material to be considered for the interior.

paintings by marla (age 4)

(oceans)

I watched a documentary recently about a young girl that is a famous abstract artist called marla olmstead.by the age of 4 her work was being sold for thousands of dollars. abstract art is a personal favourite of mine. I was very impressed with the strong colour balance and the interesting shapes being created in her designs. her success be came controversial and many people thought it was her farther helping her.after months of criticism her parents video taped her painting for 60 minutes to show the dis-believers that she is the creator of her abstract paintings. this painting was called 'ocean' and became an icon painting for her. they have a sense of being free, fun and painting spontaneous

(the art of living the moment).

vray renderers

Here are some images from my 3rd project. These images were produced in VRay a digital rendering package. This was the first time I had ever used the program and found it simply to use. I was able to capture some great views of the apartment that I had designed in a photorealistic manner.
