cottage

This Maya model is part of a VFX project called “Through your eyes”. When I was designing this cottage I wanted the interior to feel warm and welcoming. To achieve this effect, I designed a place that felt safe to me, including elements that I would normally associate with comfort such as a fireplace, soft lighting, books, plants and a record player. I wanted the interior to seem like someone had been living there, it had to feel nostalgic, alive. That is when I decided to include picture frames and fill the place with lost memories.

An important aspect of my design was the color palette. I wanted the main colors to be yellow, brown and orange, as it represents 
lightness, warmth, familiarity and innocence. The element that tied the whole design together was the lighitng from the fire and the lamp. Something about the contrast of warm light and shadows made the space more intimate and cozy.

For this project I modelled some pieces of furniture among which a sofa, a small table and a record player.
