Prop Designs - The Bungalow

Because I want to create a showreel piece, on a practical turntable for the next project after animation application, I wanted to have a detached, stand alone house that is in amongst the rural representation of the outer areas. I was looking through Pinterest to help me gain a better understanding for what shapes that I could work with. I began some rough simple sketches to get the correct shape for the house, in the end I thought a bungalow as it can help aid the calming feel and won't look too big for one person to live in.

I really liked the idea of having a built porch at the front as it gives variation of shape. During this time I was considering whether I should over exaggerate certain areas of the bungalow, this is an option however I don’t think it will be needed due to the modelling and texturing which will take place in the following project.

The final design that I have created is simplistic yet has features that are not always common. At the front there is a porch, I was thinking of this part being a newer part of the bungalow rather than it always being there so I could play around with textures in the future. When coming to the decision of a bungalow the first thing I thought of was maybe placing the main bedroom within the roof space, this is why I have added a modern window, similar to the porch I want this to be an added new piece to the bungalow. for the windows at the front I have currently placed plants however during the modelling process this might change.
