A Timeless Experiment
Reinterpreting a Case Study House #5 means engaging with a modern myth. This project began with a curiosity: imagining how such a house might look today—honoring the Californian mid-century spirit while adapting it to a contemporary life, where home blends with landscape.
Image as Architecture
It’s not just about representing a project, but about bringing it to life.
These visualizations aim to capture more than form: they evoke atmosphere, suggest stories. Light enters as it would on a quiet Sunday. The camera stands where one might sit and live. The architecture breathes.

Composition and Gaze
Each image was crafted as a photograph.
We played with tight and wide frames, subtle symmetries and guiding lines. Natural light sculpts the space. Materials—wood, concrete, glass—are presented with honesty, without artifice.

A Minimal Shift, a Bigger Idea
The central void was closed to create interior continuity.
Unlike the original project, this gesture offers a more fluid and livable space. It doesn’t aim to correct, but to explore a possible alternative within the same language. Both versions have their strength.

Life at the Center
This project is also a personal exploration.
To visualize architecture is, for me, a way of inhabiting it before it’s built. To imagine how it’s lived, how it feels. This house, though virtual, was made to be inhabited—with the eyes and with the body.

A Constructive Gaze
At Bartolomé Studio, we don’t just illustrate architecture—we inhabit it visually. Each image is a chance to tell a story, to capture the soul of the project. We care about the light that defines a moment, the texture that evokes a feeling, the frame that suggests life. Our work isn’t about decoration: it amplifies the architecture.
This project was developed in collaboration with Loom.
