We designed a bike shop using two softwares: SketchUp and Twinmotion.
Our brand was ORIGEN, which focused on handmade wooden bicycles. We wanted our design
to feel natural and calm, just like the brand’s values and also developed brand assests and identity around
it.
Our chosen site was Place de la République in Nantes- a circular area with trees and a road cutting
through it. We designed a wooden bike shop that was one level above the ground, alowing people and
nature to move freely underneath. It was supposed to look more like a workshop than a typical store. Also,
an important consideration was to build around the natural vegetation and trees in the site and not cause
any disturbances, thus altering the final design as two semicircles with circular openings.
We made plans, mood boards and sketches in the initial planning stages and then built the model in
SketchUp and the final renders were done in Twinmotion.
