Final Design

 For my final design of a house, I have decided to incorporate two different designs into one taking ideas from both buildings.


I have used these two designs to design a final building.

-Crystal like structure

-Shaped curves


Both designs have inspired an abstract design on the top to show the relationship between the two different objects. The shape of the object mimics the bends and musical flow from 'strike'.

Below are textures I have used in the final design:

Balance: Used to represent a stable floor.

Heavy: Used to represent metal inside the kitchen for tables.

Sensual: Used to represent wood used in: both stair cases and benches for the basement and middle floors.

Ridgit: Used to represent the barriers on the ground floor.

Here are some images of my final design (I could not get terrain working).

 Note: Colored walls are used to separate different rooms.

Below are 3 videos displaying sections of my house (they say 16 seconds but they are actually 15, it jumps from 14 to 16!)

Side View

This stairs will be to connect the middle layer to the bottom layer because of its heavy solid design.
