RP- Room model

I was very pleased with the finished product of this room model. The same rich and bold colors that had been used throughout my various room projects are evident in this model. I envision it in or near a forest, with the height of the top floor in line with a mid section of the tree. Victor Horta was a believer that architecture should contextualize with nature as well as the build aspects of the environment and this was an inspiration behind the design. All materials, such as mahogany wood, cast iron and painted steel contain a feeling of permanence as well as natural beauty. Steel is strong but elegant as it curves into a half circle, mahogany is polished yet it is still evident that it originated in a very raw and natural form, and cast iron is unfinished and still rich in texture and creates a vine-like appearance as it forms handrails around the structure. The colors are inviting and aristocratic, assimilating with Victor Horta’s own color choice. Curves and circles were chosen for their infiniteness, something that is eminent in nature as it is continually growing, transforming and intertwining domestic and wild life.
