I made this 1:20 room model with balsa wood. I want to create a contrasting feeling between an original and traditional material with the bold shape of the model itself. I cut many geometric shapes out of balsa wood and I also bring back the elements of the slot from model 2's roof and use it as a shadow casting element and support beneath the roof. The shadow casting on the roof by the support looks really great in my opinion. I did the light study and simulated the light from morning sunrise to afternoon as you can see. The window side is the east-facing side and I opened up the other side, which is the west-side open so that I can photograph it easier and people can see the interior and furniture. Speaking of furniture, I put a bed, a table, and stairs in as I want to make the room abstract on the outside but also functional in the inside.

Paper folding technics

Model 1 made of foam core and paper

In this first week, I started the project with paper and foam-core 1:10 models. I tried to make this room exactly the same layout as the real one and I also put bed and table in to make it functional and this thought impacts the later models deeply. I also used the folding technic and the tabs to make the bed, desk, and stairs (plus the stair element comes back in the sixth model).
