Developed by BuildX Studio, an award-winning architecture firm, Zima Homes integrates functionality with aesthetic appeal, creating a harmonious living environment. The design emphasizes ample natural light and open spaces, adhering to green building standards that prioritize the health and well-being of residents. The buildings are characterized by their contemporary facades and thoughtful layouts, which cater to a variety of lifestyles, from studio apartments to duplex units.
The architectural visualization of Zima Homes showcases its commitment to creating community-oriented spaces. The development features landscaped gardens, accessible rooftops, and recreational areas that foster a sense of community among residents.

3d Walkthrough of its Midcentury Sustainable Design
For this project, I participated in a competition that focused on sustainable and affordable interior design. I opted for a midcentury design style, known for its simplicity, relaxing properties, and use of natural materials.
To showcase my ideas, I created 3D renders of an open plan living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Each space had a cohesive theme and was designed with sustainability in mind. The midcentury furniture pieces were carefully selected to add warmth and character to the spaces, while the natural elements and color palette created a calming atmosphere.
The end result was a collection of stunning 3D renders that truly captured the essence of my sustainable and affordable interior design vision.
