As a designer, it is not always easy to come up with ideas when working on new projects. Apart from the brief you have from what the client wants, it is still up to us the designers on how we can provide our clients with beautiful designs that suit their needs. I have a few architectural sites that I love to browse to get inspired and get some ideas. Not that you are copying or whatsoever, now that is a bad thing. You can get ideas and evolve them to suit your need since every project is different. In a way, these websites inspire me a lot. Here's my website list of inspirations for Modern & Contemporary Architecture: 1.  ArchDaily           Archdaily is more like "THE" website for us architects. It features works of designers from today as well as the old, articles about architecture whether old or new, they also feature architects, news on architecture and design technologies and a whole lot more.

This is one of those projects I did for LSD with pointers and guidance from my two seniors.  Let's walk around the house per level. We'll start with the GF: This is the Entrance Hall.

It is a backlit alabaster and the opening on the top is a glass wall from the Gym with the view of this hall. Im sure you can recognize the designer pieces I used from Minotti and B&B Italia. Another view of the entrance hall and from the door on the lef...

This is our latest project that I recently worked on with LSD. A 5-Bedroom Villa located at Emirates Hills, Dubai. I worked on the visuals for this project using Sketchup 8 and Vray. I had a little design input but the layout and overall was my senior's. Modeling + Design + Rendering done in 1.5 Days. Can be improved with more time. As an update, the client loved it and hopefully they sign the contract. If that happens, we will work on the improvements and more detailed design. Me looking forward to that ( clapping my hands with quietly due to excitement :P). May I present you the visuals we showed our clients: This is the daytime view showing the ground floor interior. It is the initial render and since we really want to do a good presentation we did a night view with all the effects of lighting. There are some differences between the two images since we have improved and added things on the night view. Due to the lack of time ( we finished 6:oo am the fol...
