Art Gallery

A brief description of my Art Gallery design:


I designed this Art Gallery with the concept of a "mouse" in mind, hence the three circles you see from a birds eye view.


The circles enabled me to divide the Art Gallery into three parts, and gave the space more definition when deciding what went where.


I used check blocks as part of the theme I was going for in other words, all surfaces like the front desk even the store room and bathroom walls were covered in check blocks. I feel because it was quite a large space I could use such a busy texture on the surfaces. I love my design it's really different, completely made of glass and I beams, besides the roof.


At the entrance you will see a glass circle with fish in water below, this is the statement piece in my gallery, along with my glass bridge crossing over the pond and into the Art Gallery.


I used various types of aluminum's and metals for the roof.  Theres so much more to this design.

Recyclable Table Design

This Table I designed with old scrap wood that I found laying in the yard, used milk cartons, and fur that I bought at the shop, for a low cost, along with drawing pins that I found in the store room, and a bamboo stick I saw laying around. I used contact glue that I found in the garage to glue everything.


The 2 details above the table are a different type if milk carton, with wool rapped around it, and flowers cut out from the milk carton for decoration.


Have a closer look at my design.

My Four favorite Architects 3.1 of 4

Le Corbusier as An Architect

Le Corbusier created the concrete structure called the domino effect, this movement is being used more today than ever before, as it can be seen in almost all skyscrapers and other modern buildings being built. Le Corbusier has set a trend that will be implemented for many many more years still to come...See below a few examples of his work.

Cuboid High Court Building

Le Corbusiers Indian Masterpiece-Chandigarh is stripped for parts 

Tadao Ando-"Entering a building requires an act of will and an awareness for the architecture". 

The light penetrating through the church.

If you have a closer look you can see how Tadao has designed this circle so that when light penetrates through you can see the ripples of texture on the surface.

Le Corbusier-Domino Effect Structure


" Le Corbusier was one of Tadao's greatest influences growing up. Le Corbusier used concrete wall and believed in illumination"

"Walls are the most basic elements of Architecture, and in all my work, light is an important factor."

Le Corbusier as a Painter and Artist

I am inspired by Le Corbusier, because of his ability to be both a Painter and an Architect, his legacy of design concepts are still used today, and that in my eyes is called a master! Well done Le Corbusier.


Not only was Le Corbusier an an amazing trend setting Architect, he was a fine artist as well, see below pictures of some of his work.

Baigneuses et rochers

Corbusier lived for a reason. The Cubistic and Geometrical shapes keeps coming back and it is working in the decoration. The correct placement and the right colors is a pattern in itself that works in homes.

My Four favorite Architects 2 of 4

Antonio Gaudi

Antonio Gaudi has designed magnificent buildings in his time and the building that made me fall inlove with him was the Sagrada Familia.


Gaudi was Catholic , to the point that in his later years he abandoned secular work and devoted his life to catholicism, and his Sagrada Familia.


He designed it to have 18 towers , 12 for the 12 apostles, 4 for the 4 evangelists, one for Mary and 1 for Jesus.


He was obsessed with Sagrada Familia....See pictures below.

Butterfly Villa-Designed and rendered on Sketchup

My butterfly villa comes from the inspiration of a butterfly obviously, and as you can see I imitated the shape in the most original way possible, playing with volumes of brick and mortar. I also used a lot of I Beams filled with glass. This villa was mainly designed for young funky students looking for a place to stay. What you will be seeing on this A3 chart is 1 of the many villas that had to be placed in a designed complex.

This was a quik assignment testing how quikly we could get familiar with Artlantis, our requirements were to give Apple Mac a new look and feel. My good renders on Artlantis will be coming soon.
