Beyond the brief

Original assignment

Recreate primarily the frontal facade from photographic reference.

02 / Why I Extended It

Why I Extended It

The chamfered corner was the most distinctive part of the building, so I chose to carry the study beyond the frontal facade and model the corner as well.
