In the same way, the bedrooms face a garden enclosed by the building and the perimeter wall. The glass pavilion overlooks two much-defined areas: the first, toward the mountain, is a very private zone resulted in the area between the property line and the building setback line according to the local building code. The second is a garden overlooking the lake. A polygonally shaped glass pavilion with rounded edges stands above a linear underground block. The living and dining room, the kitchen and storage spaces are located in the pavilion, while bedrooms, bathrooms, and garage are in the lower level.Įach level relates itself with independent outdoor spaces, which are closely related with the interiors.

Lying on the slope of a hill, on the shores of Lake Lugano, the villa consists of two volumes organized on different levels due to the particular topography of the site. The tones seen here were mostly achieved using Photoshop. The project also includes an image with a cloudy sky and gold interior.

There was a focus on crisp and contrast-rich images achieved thanks to the cinematography color grading plug-in used during Photoshop post-production. My goal with this project was to study dusk scenes with artificial interior and exterior lighting, and took close to two weeks to complete. I also attempted to achieve a photorealistic look using the built-in depth of field feature in V-Ray for SketchUp.
