The Parker

An eye-level render of the building’s entrance court: a full-height glazed lobby on the left shaded by a curved glass canopy on slim posts, set between a cream panelled wall with a single dark horizontal window slot and a run of orange structural fins; behind it a teal-green curtain wall rises through several floors, its slab edges visible through the glass. Pale paving, black bollards and planters of shrub and blue flower fill the foreground, a low stone wall closes the right, and a red hatchback drives toward the camera down the ramp.

A 2012 exterior visualization set for the Parker, a mid-rise block designed by Eugene Nelson-Addy: three rendered views of a curved, cream-panelled building with tall glazed bays gathered on orange fins, its floors lit from within.

The studio published the set as the PARKER - 3D VISUALIZATION on 6 June 2012, crediting the design to Eugene Nelson-Addy and the visualization to R.D+V.S, with the tools listed as Google SketchUp, 3ds Max, V-Ray, Photoshop and AutoCAD. No client is named on the post, so the record keeps the private-client attribution the studio uses elsewhere for its unattributed 2012 work.

The building is a block of a few storeys whose form is carried almost entirely by its glazing. Tall bays of green-tinted curtain wall run the full height between curved wings of pale cream panelling, and the structure reads through the glass — slab edges, columns and the flight of a stair — so the facade is doing double duty as a section. Orange fins and orange-spanded panels mark the corners and the entrance, the only solid colour in a scheme otherwise of cream, grey and green glass.

The three views are a working marketing set rather than three angles of one thing. The dusk elevation is the portrait shot: the whole curved front against a deep blue sky, the interior lights on and the name the PARKER set in black on an orange panel high on the left bay. The entrance court brings the eye down to the pavement, under a curved glass canopy on slim posts, with bollards, planting and a car coming down the ramp. The street view handles the practical question of parking, two cars backed onto a gravel forecourt with the glazed stair reading through the wall behind them.

Each frame is signed with a strip carrying the studio’s NEW LIFE V.2.0 /2011 series mark, the address www.ebengdesigngh.com and the Revival Design + VFX Studios logo — both practices on one image, which is how the collaboration presents itself. The project is on blogspot.

The main elevation at dusk: a mid-rise block of curved cream panels and tall glazed bays, its floors and green-tinted curtain wall reading from the inside and gathered on orange fins at the corners. A sign panel set high on the left bay carries the name the PARKER in black on orange. The sky is a deep clear blue, a low white service building sits at the left, and trees and shrubs frame the right and the planted foreground.

A street-level render of the parking approach: a maroon saloon backed onto a gravel forecourt at the left and a silver hatchback parked at the right, with the building rising behind them — a glazed stair visible through the curtain wall, cream and orange panels, and a curved glass canopy over a recessed entrance. Clipped conifers and hedging soften a block wall at left, a boom barrier stands at the right, and the road runs across the foot of the frame.
