Cancun Resort rendering project with Karim Rashid

Purpose: Karim Rashid was designing a new addition for the Temptation Cancun Resort, and he needed a reliable team to take care of the 3d renders.
Project status: Finished
Location: Mexico, Cancun.
Produced in Bucharest, Romania
Year: 2018

Back in 2018 when Karim contacted us, we just started our rendering business – we were in the actual progress of learning the skill of photorealist visualization. So if you’re curious to see where we started from, stick with us!

Karim Rashid and Ada Tache were very clear in communicating the brief, so we had no problem hitting the target from the first try. Karim made a lot of sketches of each space, and each object he designed – such as the “Raindrop Wall” you see in the axonometry below. Ada made sure we received the technical drawings of the space, the digital copies of the prints that were going to be used on the walls or on the floor, and clear instructions on which material was going to be used on every surface.

Axonometry of the Temptation Cancun Resort redesigned by Karim Rashid
This axonometry was actually an extra render we offered to Karim Rashid, so his client will better understand the overall design of the space.

Karim sent us a sketch he made specifically for this wall, and we visualised it into an LED installation.

Living in Copenhagen definitely changed the way I approach architecture, seeing the impact it has on human behaviour and psyche.

In one way or the other, I focus on solving social problems when designing pretty much anything.
