Boulder Haven
Boulder Haven is my 3-dimensional custom-building, designed in Rhino, which involved not only an emphasis on technical modeling focused on combining space, form and color, but also a focus on personal expression.
Ideation
Inspired by Joshua Tree and my passion for rock climbing, the challenge quickly became how to integrate round boulder formations into a building structure. The ideation helped visualize the colors, curves and textures and emphasized the importance of natural light. The structure would ideally need to be tall enough to accommodate a climbing rock wall.
Initial Designs
Final Drafts
As part of the final design, I added furniture, some appliances and wall art to enhance spatial realism. Technical drawings were prepared for various elements, and my own artwork was showcased in an upstairs art gallery. A final virtual tour in Unreal Engine provides the viewer with a walking tour through this fun yet sophisticated building in a beautiful outdoor desert landscape.
