Most of my professional work involves visualizing new developments, I decided to imagine and design my own fictional development—rooted in reality, yet completely self-directed.
To ground the idea, I chose Manchester as the setting. There's no particular reason why, other than its strong character and the brick architecture typical of the UK, which I wanted to explore.
Using Google Earth, I discovered an "wild" parking lot surrounded by beautiful context and chose it as the site for my design.
Of course, this is entirely conceptual—there are no real plans for construction here.
The central architectural element in my design is a series of brick arches.
I began with a sketch and developed it into a 3D model, refining it multiple times while keeping the core form consistent.
I originally planned many viewpoints, but due to time limitations, I narrowed it down to five key images. Each one explores different lighting, composition, and atmospheric conditions.
What I enjoyed most was adding the narrative layers—people, pets, street art (including a cat mural), and small details that made the space feel alive.
The process reminded me how rewarding it is to simply create for the joy of it.
Great images ! Congrats for taking the time of doing it as an exercise, it is very rewarding looking at these final images knowing that sometimes it is very hard to find the time to do it.
