Stroke 5 - Virtual tour (1)

This is the best way to show a project in all its fullness, a virtual tour, perfectly conveys all the features that the building will have once built, the way they relate to all spaces and how they can be lived.

Of course there are programs that let you create these images with an aspect very realistic, but through hard work and lots of hardware power. As we move into the realization of video this work and need of hardware add even more.

If we disregard the realistic aspect, and the most important is a reasonable approximation, SketchUp is enough for the job, with very satisfactory results with an incomparable cost.

The project that I show here is a house on a plot like the ones found throughout the country (Portugal), with 300 sqm, 90 sqm of deployment, and some attachment.

The main purpose of the video was to show the importance that the exposed concrete of the entire structure had in the final set, and how it was possible to create an inside outside relationship without losing privacy.

SketchUp was up to the challenge, as the video shows.
