This model was produced as a planning aid; the aim was to show how the new house fits into its surroundings, and its impact upon them. The surrounding buildings and landscape are shown with lesser detail to highlight the site, but still give a sense of what is going on around the site.
We have used a limited palette of cork and wood, with some static grass thrown in. The contours and landscape are built up from layers of cork, and the buildings are all made from oak; the new house is constructed from various thickness and colour veneer, whilst the surrounding buildings are cut from a salvaged solid oak fence post.
