Kintsugi House MK4

Side elevation rendering of a modern-ish house inspired by Japanese kintsugi ceramic repair, and the minimalist dreamlike architecture painted by Phillippe Charles Jacquet . Been experimenting on this idea for a few months. First had the idea looking over a product sheet of some mediocre fibre cement wall panels, and thought that they'd look better smashed up, and collaged back into place. From there, Kintsugi, the mixing of gold powder in ceramic repair, came in; and I thought the two ideas would go well together as an architectural expression. The modelling and texturing was done in ArchiCAD and CineRender, post processing in Affinity Photo, using old photos from Cohassett, Massachusetts.
