West Hollywood Housing Project – Animations

This first video shows a Construction Sequence of excavation, pouring concrete forms, and tilt up/ built up wood framing. Potentially, architects, construction companies, and other contractors involved in the construction can use this type of animation (and or static images) for logistics proposals and presentations. It helps to plan out phases and schedules. Please, contact us for inquiries.

This second video shows the finished built project. Potentially, architects, construction companies, and other contractors involved in the construction can use this animation (and or static images) for logistics proposals and presentations. It helps to propose ideas and win clients/ projects by visualizing the vision. It helps to communicate with local officials, neighborhood councils or anybody involved and/or concerned about what the finished building will look like. Please, contact us for inquiries!

 

 

West Hollywood Housing Project – 360 Panoramic View Images 

(for Google Cardboard or Samsung Gear VR)

In the slideshow above, 360 images were created to show how the site / building will look  at any stage of the construction. This type of rendering exceeds the limits of a traditional rendering, makes it interactive and allows to pause and scroll around from mobile device or computer (to look around in the 3D space). A static image rendered with 360 panoramic view. For architects, this could be very useful tool during the design process. In graduate school, I was asked many times why I designed a gathering space or a balcony on a specific corner. The audience wanted to see the view from that corner or that 2nd / 4th floor. Sometimes, there are few existing buildings on the site already, and I was using this technique to cross reference how much apart or close to each other would make sense to place the new buildings – in order, to provide view, or create a relationship between two buildings by an outdoor study / green gathering space. This experience also helps when deciding about an iconic entrance/ atrium / gathering space – because without seeing it for yourself it is only numbers: should it be 11 ft high or 16 ft high? first option would cost this much vs. the other this much?

 

Hospital Patient Room Design – 360 Video for VR

(for Google Cardboard or Samsung Gear VR)

 

In the 3rd year of Architecture Graduate school, I am focusing on Healthcare. I am taking classes to learn to design healthcare facilities/ spaces, learning about politics involved/ owners and developers involved and interested in this field, researching to improve design by adding sustainable features to improve working and healing environments, etc.

This animation video above was created for a company who is providing innovative solutions as a prime trade contractor for general trades: architectural woodwork, ornamental metals, integrated doors, frames & hardware, specialties, laboratory furniture, medical equipment, wood paneling and trimming, standing and running trims, wood benches, plastic laminate casework, stone counter-tops, fiberglass reinforced gratings, wall and corner-guards, blackout curtains and tracks, metal laboratory casework, fume hoods, bio safety cabinets, wall partitions, visual display surfaces, and exterior woodwork.

360 videos exceed the limits of a traditional animation video (where we can view things along a specified camera path), and a static image rendered with 360 panoramic view. It combines these two, which allows the viewer to look in all directions as the camera moves along its path (choice of architect or client). It may also be paused at any point to stop and look around in 360 panoramic experience.

Virtual Reality experiences have become essential in many fields lately such as healthcare, laboratory, university/ college, education k-12, government sector (state/ local), courthouse, hospitality (restaurant/ hotel/ resorts), commercial, and condominium/ dormitory built projects – where architectural visualization helps to communicate between building professionals (contractors, architects, mechanical technicians), clients, and state/local officials, etc. Virtual Reality can help communicate the design as its being developed. It can help improve collaboration during construction or to advertise what the finished space will look like. Many times, after the construction finished a BIM model is used to educate users about wayfinding or sustainable use of the building. Also, throughout the lifespan of the building MEP and lighting repairs/ renovation can be easily managed, planned out, located, and quickly accessed.

Virtual Reality can be used to display not just the finished surface with all kinds of details but the buildings as xray-ed showing framing and MEP behind walls and ceilings too.
