The depth between sun and shade

Dive presents a residential concept in Dubai through a study of earthen surfaces, geometric screens and spaces set into the ground. The imagery describes the proposal’s relationship to an arid setting: direct sun gives the exterior its intensity, while shaded recesses make the depth of the architecture visible.

The rendering approach described in this project centres on texture and the pattern of light cast by the screens. A motion study accompanies the stills. This is a useful reference for an architectural brief where the relationship between enclosure, daylight and domestic space matters as much as the overall form. The images communicate the design idea; they do not constitute a measured environmental or building-performance assessment.
