Workflow:
SketchUp (modeling & scene setup) → D5 Render 2.11 (Path Tracing, lighting, animation) → After Effects (color grading, compositing, final polish)
Brief description of post-processing:
The raw renders from D5 were imported into After Effects for subtle cinematic enhancement —
warm tone grading, gentle contrast balancing, film grain, and soft light glow.
No heavy effects were used; the mood relies on D5’s natural path-tracing realism.
Whether the model is original:
Yes — all architecture and interior models were created entirely by AV8 Studio in SketchUp.
Model source:
Custom-built SketchUp model optimized and textured for D5 Render (UV mapping, materials, and geometry cleanup handled internally).

where the air feels weightless,
and architecture awakens softly beneath the light.
The hotel stands quietly at a street corner,
its form shaped by sunlight, shadow, and wind.
Lines of wood and concrete interweave like rhythm and rest,
balancing warmth and stillness in every fold.
The façade unfolds like origami
catching light in delicate layers,
while trees rise from the terraces,
softening the geometry with nature’s quiet pulse.
In this harmony between structure and silence,
time seems to pause
as if the city itself is holding its breath.
This work is not about scale or complexity,
but about balance
between nature and design,
between form and feeling,
between the visible and the unseen.
