Work Space Based on specifications given by a 5th year architecture student. This work space has been designed to be an ideal space to work on laborious projects and also have time to rest. This project was an exercise to learn basic standards to design a habitable space. The entire project was done in rhinoceros 3D rendered with v-ray.
