With a heavy focus on adding tangible texture to every surface, the Archilime Academy used a collection of maps and procedural modeling and rendering techniques to ensure that every object and surface looks photorealistic when viewed at any distance. They modeled a complete 3D scene of the Palm Springs site – everything from the rocky cliff landscape to individual vinyl records in the living room. The challenge of visualizing the rocky, desert landscape of Palm Springs and subtle play of light shade throughout the day on the Koto-designed home gave the Archilime Academy opportunity to use the power of V-Ray 6 for SketchUp to create cinematics that capture the personality of the structure at one with its environment. The result will be a beautiful, sustainable home that is both stylish and comfortable. The home will be built by Plant Prefab using state-of-the-art prefabrication techniques and designed to meet carbon-neutral energy standards, complete with energy monitoring and smart home technology. Koto’s unique design embraces the warmth of Scandinavian minimalism and fits perfectly into its desert environment. UK-based visualization experts and training facility the Archilime Academy teamed with Chaos, NVIDIA and Lenovo to visualize a stunning home in Palm Springs, California, designed by leading architectural firm Koto Design.
