Project Overview
Designing a cabin often requires paying close attention to the exposed details that define its character. This project takes you through the creation of a modern cabin, focusing on the interplay between structural elements and architectural finishes.
Scope of Work: We start from the ground up, establishing the grid and levels, then move to:
- Structural Modeling: placing columns, beams, and utilizing the beam system tool for rafters.
- Shell Creation: modeling the iconic steep roof and integrating skylights.
- Interior Detailing: modeling stairs, railings, and defining interior zones.
The result is a fully coordinated BIM model that serves both as a visualization tool and a source for technical drawings.
