Shroeder House


This is a replica of the Shroeder House designed by the architect Gerritt Rietveld, famous also for the red/blue chair, which was actually designed for this house as well, but judging by the minimalist style and primary color palette this should come as no surprise.

This replica was created using the 3-d modeling nurbs program, Rhino, using plans and elevations exported from auto cad via illustrator. From these plans and elevation, I extruded planes to create the walls and railing while also puncturing holes to create windows.

Once, I was done building, I used one of Rhino's rendering plug-ins known as V-Ray to provide color and texture to the building. Lastly, I exported a jpeg into photoshop to add context (which needs some work), add lighting effects/lens flare, and the burn and dodge tool.

Needless to say, there were a lot of processes and computer programs needed to complete this assignment.
