The Making of The Step
INTRODUCTION
This project is about re-kindling my passion with my work, it is also about exploring design skills, for which I choose to first design and then visualize it. I wanted it realistic, different and thoughtful. So three things were addressed doing this project, Design - Visualization – Learning. I named this project ‘The Step’ because when I started this project I was clueless of how I would do it, and what I dreamed to do back then was beyond my skills. What I learned is, to put effort every day, have the patience and allow it to happen. All that matters is that single step; rest of the story just happens by itself. Hope this sends a message to many including myself, to do what you love and keep doing it till you reach and to believe in yourself!
This is a design to visualization project, so first part of the article covers the idea formation. The later part is about tools that have been used and how the visualization was carried out, and finally the output / final renders. For ease, the main contents of this article is presented in order below.
THE DESIGN
It all started when I came across this image somewhere while going through some reference images for my office job.
It made me think about the possibility of turning this into a living space and stared at it for a long time; to understand the work, about what can be done, what is possible. Once a rough sketch was made up, work started. Did a camera match and started modelling the STEPS, and the first file looked like this.
Spaces were introduced between the steps to make room for the different living areas in the apartment. The left and right sides, the roof, had to be sorted out. Also had to make sure that it had all the areas that one would need in a house; importantly each area had to have a function, a good design and logical measurements. It began to take shape part by part.
