Pickman family mausoleum
Mausoleum of Richard Upton Pickman's family (inspired by Lovecraft's work).
It started as a demo I made for my students and evolved into an in-depth study of the design of a small building. I wanted it to look believable as a late 1800/early 1900 architecture, but with subtle hints at the family dark secrets.
