Hart Howerton commissioned a model built in phases that accurately represented the complexity between topography and structure. With multiple residential architecture, engineering, and landscape design firms included in the Yuerba Buena Island Project, it was crucial to show how each phase integrated into a seamless architectural vision.
Felton Library Discovery Park features a section focused on local watershed activity to educate its audience on the importance of water in the Santa Cruz Area. The landscape architect specified that a 3D map be built that visualized how water flows throughout the community. Participants would engage with the San Lorenzo 3D Watershed Map by pouring water directly onto its surface, then watch as the water flows towards the ocean. The landscape architect’s design also specified that this interactive map be displayed outside, uncovered, and in direct sun so the material needed to be resilient.
While the main Snowmass Base Village Sales Gallery model served as a hub for their new residential development sales, East West Partners wanted to showcase SBV’s success at their various properties throughout the Village. They wanted a smaller format model that attracted attention of prospective clients, passer bys, and guests alike. Each Satellite Sales Station would need to blend into the interior design of its surroundings as well.
The master planning of this resort ski area has transformed, and the 3D architectural model has been modified in phases to match these updates.
Kim Thoman’s artwork spans both two dimensional and three dimensional spaces. Her artwork features colorized 3D sculptures that are texture mapped with computer generated images of her artwork. Color consistency was a key part of the workflow as texture mapped sculptures and paintings are displayed together.
