A couple of houses + ideation, concepts and some pencil studies at the end there. All building on the same world.
Architecture initially inspired by Batak societies, with some Art Deco and FLW thrown in there for good measure.
Exploring similar ideas: Angular roofing, polished crystal decorations, stacked slabs and painted decorations.
Exterior design. Done after the first couple of illustrations (like the idiot I am), and playing off of the same ideas.
Quick interior exploration. Going for a more contemporary look, which I thought would contrast nicely with the regal and more temple like facade.
More interior explorations.
All of them together.
Toying with the function of the various ornaments. I landed on a sort of "ward" system, inspired by the various painted decorations you see in vernacular architecture.
More ideas and decorations.
Pencil sketches exploring what the flora surrounding these buildings could be like. Both studies and exploration.
