The house steps down the slope in three volumes, and the imagery had to make that movement legible: how the roofline follows the terrain, how each level opens to a different layer of the canopy.

We worked from the architects’ BIM model, rebuilt the terrain from survey data, and developed a restrained material palette — board-formed concrete, blackened timber, large glass planes. The lighting concept centers on two moments: low warm sun cutting through the trees, and the blue hour when the interior reads as a lantern.

Competition deadlines compress everything. This set — three exteriors and one interior — was produced in five days, from a clean SketchUp volume to final boards.

The images lean on strong shadow patterns from the pergola and a single, consistent time of day, which kept the set coherent and the review cycles short.
