"The Rabbit" Conceptual Aircraft

Hello All - it has been some time since my last post on this blog. Between the severe economic recession and a bit of "designer's block", I haven't had the time or motivation to do anything new until recently. I decided to sit down and create a new theoretical/ conceptual aircraft design called "The Rabbit". Here is the description as seen on my website, http://www.lonewolfdrafting.com/: “The Rabbit” is a new aircraft concept that I have been working on for the past few weeks. This aircraft is designed to be a short range fast attack aircraft with reconnaissance capabilities. The Rabbit’s 3 over sized engines give the aircraft a tremendous amount of speed and maneuverability, while its 18 30 mm wing mounted rapid fire machine guns make it a formidable dogfight opponent. The downside to this aircraft’s engine design is its ravenous appetite for fuel. The Rabbit’s range is significantly decreased when all 3 engines are operating at full throttle. However, the Rabbit can cruise at a modest speed at altitude for an extended amount of time with just the center engine running, giving the aircraft an extended range. The other two engines are reserved for fast flight, or increased maneuverability. The folding wing design allows for more compact storage in tight hanger bays, as opposed to the space robbing fixed wing design. The Rabbit is the second model of theoretical aircraft that I have developed, and I will be working on more soon. Here are a couple of images of the newest images, more can be seen on the site.

Master Bedroom and Bathroom

The master bedroom and bathroom have been designed to faithfully complement the overall loft project. The entire space maintains the industrial feel of the whole apartment with efforts made to make the space feel cozy and warm. Some of the unique features include the massive factory style entry doors, double sided oversized fireplace with iron grated doors, and vintage style bathroom. The bedroom features two sets of double doors that access a balcony area. Between the double doors is the double sided fireplace. The fireplace is open on both sides to allow the user to enjoy the warmth from both inside and outside. The bathroom will be finished in black and white subway tile, and features independent pedestal sinks and claw foot tub. Off of the bathroom is a small hallway that allows access to his and hers master closets. The entire space enjoys massive windows, transom windows and skylights to allow the maximum amount of natural light and ventilation throughout the space.

A (Modern) Cabin in the Woods

Craigslist is a great way to advertise your business as well as find new clients that are soliciting work. However, it’s a bit of a drag when those potential clients that are soliciting work turns out to not be legit. The cabin project falls into the latter category. Someone had asked for concept submissions for a modern self contained cabin to be located in Northern Arizona. As I had just about all of the modeling completed, the post on craigslist was marked as a scam. However, I decided to finish the project as a new promotional piece. The cabin draws its inspiration from the “Design It” Guggenheim Shelter Competitions, which can be seen here. The cabin consists of two main sections – the living room that is designated as the “public” space, and the master bedroom that serves as the “private” space. The living room section also contains the kitchen, dining area and a bathroom. Typically, a getaway cabin is sparsely decorated, as most people are only there for a couple of weeks during the year. Therefore, I incorporated large windows throughout the living room section to allow nature to become the artwork and decoration through the apartment. This concept is featured throughout the entire cabin. Over the kitchen, there is a large skylight with a hanging metal sculpture. The bathroom is has a simple, clean, modern look that complements the rest of the cabin. Like the shelter, the master bedroom portion of the cabin sticks out over the water, and has a massive curved window facing the lake. The master bedroom also has a rather unique gas powered fireplace that has a glass back, so the light of the fireplace can be enjoyed from the outer deck. The bedroom also has its own modern bathroom with a deep soaker tub for maximum relaxation. The tub is surrounded by glass so the user can enjoy all of the surrounding nature, which provides a serene calm setting for anyone to enjoy. The overall effect is a beautiful modern structure that takes advantage of the surrounding nature from all sides.
The rest of this series will be posted on the new website which is coming soon!

Loft Office
The actual loft space of the industrial loft has been designated as a work space/ office. As a designer, I wanted to create a space that I would love to work in. The result was this unique space with a small seating area, a large standing workspace, and a semi-separated desk area. I created custom wall lights, pendant lights, and ceiling lights to create a bright and warm workplace. I took extra care to not include any florescent lights, as I believe they are the bane of the modern workplace. The office area features a large storage closet, private bathroom, and access to the rear terrace that is shared with a detached casita style area (which has yet to be designed). On of the most unique features of the loft office is the “railing” that runs along the perimeter of the loft’s edge. Instead of tubular railing, I decided to use glass panels. The panels are held in place with steel cables, wheeled runners, and a clamp/ braking system. The cables are anchored at the floor and ceiling of the loft. The panels, which are 2’-0” x 6’-0”, are frameless, and sit between the cables. Attached to the 2” thick glass are 4 sets of trucks, to which 3 grooved wheels run along. The panels can be adjusted to any height, and are locked into place with 4 clamp style brakes. The brakes sandwich the cables between their pads, and are look of by 4 bolts with wing nut thumb screws. One of the other unique elements of this space is the large aircraft engine sculpture. As an aircraft enthusiast, I wanted to include something unique to my passions. Therefore, I decided to install this unique piece to add some style and fun to the space. Some work is still needed, such as electrical outlets and wall switches.
