Project overview

Reconstructed Smith House 2 (1964) by Arthur Erickson, a West Coast modernist residence embedded within a steep forested site, through a series of digital drawings and a Rhino-based 3D model. The project investigates how the house responds to its natural surroundings through a post-and-beam structure, natural materials, and a spatial organization centered around a courtyard. Plans, sections, and an exploded axonometric were developed to analyze the relationship between structure, topography, and circulation. Analytical diagrams further explore materiality, light, and environmental integration, using representation as a tool to understand how architecture can seamlessly engage with its landscape.

As an introductory project, this work marked my first experience using Rhino, V-Ray, and Photoshop, where I began developing skills in digital modelling, rendering, and visual composition while exploring an emerging personal graphic style.
