Crowdbuilding is a platform by a Dutch architectural studio, Space&Matter. The platform allows small communities to create and define their collective way of living.

The scope of work included creating colourful illustrations for the platform's website. Each image represents a specific way of sharing architectural spaces like tiny houses, water villages, open buildings, eco-villages, coworking spaces, a home for single parents, and more.

 

Cider Factory

Personal Project: Orchard Farm With Cider Factory

The project focuses on creating a functional yet straightforward architecture that could aid a process of producing and tasting cider, reinforce sheep breeding, and act as a storage for the equipment and the living space for the farm's inhabitants. The distances between buildings respond to the needs of a modern orchard farm and other project-related decisions. The structures enable an alteration of direction and the way of production. Moreover, they also promote the possibility of further development and redesign of the interiors. Thanks to the use of natural materials and proportions, the project features and displays an adequate architecture to the peaceful and honest profession of an orchardman.
