Title : Strata of Clouds
“Architecture that emerges from the movement of clouds.”
This project is a resort hotel designed in response to the unique phenomenon of sea clouds forming within mountainous terrain.

The architecture is composed as a series of layered volumes that follow the natural topography, creating a spatial continuity between the building and the surrounding landscape.

The stepped and elongated form allows each level to engage directly with the drifting clouds, offering constantly shifting visual and atmospheric conditions.

Rather than positioning the building as a dominant object within nature,
the design seeks to integrate it into the environment—allowing it to appear and disappear within the mist.

Large horizontal openings and terraces are carefully oriented to frame views of the valleys and the moving cloud layers, enhancing the sensory experience of the site.

The project explores architecture as an extension of natural phenomena,
where space is defined not only by form, but by atmosphere, light, and temporal change.
The skeleton was modeled in 3ds Max, rendered in white using V-Ray, and then fleshed out using AI.
