This architectural design project incorporates two ancient architectural styles and elements of one modern architectural style to create a summer residence for a make-belief eccentric billionaire living in Turtle Island, Australia. In order to ensure harmony between the various architectural styles, it was decided that choosing styles with similar philosophies and elements would be key to achieving the desired effect. Thus, Moorish, Japanese and modern Malaysian architectural styles were chosen for this project.
Below I have attached images of initial sketches, concept sketches and screenshots of the 3D model made in SketchUp for this project. The exterior of the building showcases the three chosen styles, while the foyer incorporates Moorish architectural styles and the great room incorporates traditional Japanese architecture.
