Last post was about 3D modelling using SketchUp and rendered with Vray, here is another project rendered using Lumion. You could build the model using SketchUp and import into Lumion, set up scenes and render. It is a good rendering software when you need a quick render.  Eloise is associated with the Greek word “helios” which means "sun", a viewing shelter designated in a reserved forest to give   a 360 degrees   full view to the nature. From the past decades we have been neglecting the importance of nature environment and the impact we have done to it. Eloise is an approach to embrace both man made and mother nature in one. The idea of 'Light and Transparency' brings a great contrast between the stuffy man made concrete jungle and the airy mother nature. The approach was to let the natural light entering into the shelter and lit up the entire space, reducing the use of artificial lights for sustainability. Openings are enhanced for good air ventilation in the space.

Last post we talked about mind maps, mood boards and conceptual models. This post I will share about my first studiowork using digital rendering. Back to the project in 2015, we had a lovely site visit to 23 LoveLane Boutique Hotel located in Love Lane, Georgetown Penang. It is a heritage building that hosts spacious rooms with different interior themes: Straits Eclectic Building, Indian Shop House, Indian Anglo Bungalow. 65 Steward Lane. There are few more rooms offered in another heritage building that is just few stones away. The design brief given was: Imagine you could give a new breath to the hotel, what would you do? As the hotel is a heritage building renovation under Core Zone, there is no hacking work allowed to be done to protect the existing structure. Therefore, this task would be more emphasizing on interior concept or rebranding.
