I did this couple of weeks ago... those are actually design stage renders... client gave me just rough idea and more like story board tban actuall project... couple of sketches and couple of days to finish... but their idea was just to make first impression on the owners and sneak into the busyness with them...
For me that is something I do not like so much (working without real drawings) but it became normal thing among practicing architects around here...

Hey, you have been busy, very nice work. I could see the ceiling feature with the fern/leaf patterns as a milky marbled art glass as well, it is all working out very nice. From this and a prevous retail project you did, I am going to start adding white walls with glass in front of them in my design repotoire, it works really well and gives an elegant trendy look to the space. Hope you don't mind if I borrow/steal from you? LOL

Not at all... go ahead...

But seriously, the problem here is obvious lack of reall detail polishing of the renders... GI parameters including...
However, the interesting thing is that the wall and cieling images are implementation of some sort of visual therapy sistem. I get the link from client and was pleasently surprised with free content, lot of nice images, nature of course, sorted by categories like fall, tropicals, europe... and in two different formats, wide (panoramic) and standard.
The watermark on the images is so gentle that we may use the images easyly as background textures, reflection maps and probably for some leaf and tree textures as well...
Size is enough for some purposes...
Though the photos may be balancing on thin line with keitch, they are nevertheless exceptionally beautifull and very usefull for our job... it is not so easy to find such qualitty landscape photos...

I fully understand the concept, I did about 75% of the Construction Documents and designed (physicist reviewed work) the Radiology departments Linear accelerator and HDR vaults for NorthStar Lodge back around 1998 when I lived in Yakima, Washington. The whole concept was a mountain retreat.

Very cool landscaping and architectural features inside and out. cross a wooden foot bridge over a water feature at the main entry and the stone floor flows out to butted glass windows that have the water feature apear to continue and cascade down into pools in the courtyard looking at a covered bridge that connects the two ends of the u-shaped building.

Yes, very nice project you did... the big difference is that in your design the landscape ellements are the real thing...
Here it is based on images applied on luminous panels...
Though I think my clients did succeded in taking it to another level and erasing the usuall coldness inherent in such spaces...

Yes, but actually the interior of this project was the same thing, the concept was consistant throughout. In fact we had suspended translucent panels with tree branches and leaves at skylights throughout and where there couldn't be a skylight the same panels where backlit artificially. Same philosophy, I was just showing what I easily had available the project got finished after a moved from Yakima so I never got interior shots of the project.

Of course your project is contemporary and chic, this one was rustic venacular.

Didn't mean to hijack your thread

Hey, I like that you posted your project, pitty you do not have interior shots...
But if you checked those links I posted, it appears that this idea is sort of copyrighted by that Art Research Institute, they supply those imagery applied on such luminous panels just as they sell the medical equipment.
Of course, the idea to put the images on skylight is much nicer... you can put the abstract paterns on semi transparent glass skylight and that is also great...
Much better than artificial lightning...
