Amazing work. I agree with , the cinematic approach was well executed, and I even feel that a step-by-step tour through the home would have felt at odds with the building and context - in any case, a walkthrough is as simple as providing the scene and allowing the client to wander about as they see fit.
Do you have any knowledge of eastern aesthetics? Your focus on the darkened, shadowy areas and textural imperfect elements (aged timber for example) seemed to hint at that. I’m specifically thinking of Junchiro Tanizaki’s “In Praise of Shadows”. Check it out sometime, it’s quite a short but interesting read and provides a good counterpoint to the idea that all spaces must be well lit at all times.
I’m a masters of architecture student in New Zealand looking at a similar topic. I’m specifically interested in a critical viewing of the typical architectural perspective rendering approach - that of the idealised building in perfect 3d space, presented as a 2d image. I should probably start a thread… maybe when my work looks half as good as this.
