Sketchup Work

Crafty
Agility

My first model in SketchUp was based on the sketch shown above. I chose to further develop this sketch in SketchUp because I believe that the design is coherent with the cultural background of my clients (Jiro Ono, Shinya Kimura). I also think that this sketch adapts strong similarities to a traditional Japanese house but with a touch of contemporary feel. One unique characteristic of Japanese architecture is lightweight construction and I think that this is the particular similarity between my sketch and a Japanese house.

This is an example of the lightweight construction of the interior space of a traditional Japanese house.
