I founded Edenian Design in 2021 to continue my passion for Architectural Visualization and Landscape Design. I wanted to help other people create their own Eden through sustainable practices and put my knowledge of Agroforestry, Permaculture and Design to good use.
Truckee Pedestrian Bridge
First a model of the bridge was made in SolidWorks from the clients drawings to ensure accurate dimensions. Rendered in KeyShot in the images to the left.
The next step was importing the SolidWorks file into Blender so that grass and vegetation could be added through a particle system, shown below.
The bridge was then rendered in Blender and imported into Photoshop to be composited onto the background plate to create the final image.
This is the final image shown above that was presented to the client.
Landscape Design
This is an example of a lawn conversion to a drought tolerant landscape with a dry creek bed to manage storm water runoff. The creek acts as a swale to help slow the water making it permeate into the ground to increase the groundwater in the landscape.
In addition to water collection, a thick layer of wood chip mulch is added to prevent evaporation as well as selecting drought tolerant plants such as deciduous trees that have the ability to go dormant when drought stressed.
