Your task
Create a 3D model of an entrance area decorated for the winter holidays.
What counts as an entrance?
An entrance ensemble is a group of architectural and functional elements forming an organized entrance to a building (residential, public, commercial, etc.).It acts as a transition zone between the exterior and the interior, ensuring comfort, safety, and visual integrity of the façade.
