Cloud playhouse

I have always liked optical illusions or things that have you believe they are something else this is a perfect example of that, a mushroom cloud which looks genuine is actually a kids playhouse.

These are some of the latest luxury kitchens that have inspired me and ideas I would like to use in my further designs.

Model making

The most recent project I have just completed is to redesign my own take on a flat for the Park hill Flats, Sheffield. As to making the model in my recent course of 3d design a lot of the projects consisted of making a model as the final piece so I have come to terms with the difficulty of making it. I prefer to hand make the models myself so done the entire thing by hand in future though I would like to use the laser cutter to try out more intricate shapes that were almost impossible to achieve to as high of a standard by hand. these are a few images of my final model I submitted.







Holiday To Paris

During the month of November I had my first holiday abroad. Being the first time I chose somewhere close to the UK and also a highly recommended place for the sheer beauty of the place. I always thought it was an over rated placed did not seem a place could be as beautiful as it gets made out to be, yet the entire 3 days it rained and was overcast but wherever we went It was breath taking.
The architecture of Paris is magnificent the shaped and styling of the buildings and bridges, were very aesthetically pleasing. As weird as it may sound if I had not of know I was holidaying in France and had just been put there the styling of the building remind me of so many films set in France the Whole place felt French if that a possible feeling. After seeing the architecture for real I have definitely not seen all that I wanted of the place and in the near future hope to travel back.
