Let me introduce you to the House 1196 architecture rendering.

My projects start with a set of 2D CAD files. I receive the plans, elevations, and in most cases, a site plan; if I am lucky, I’ll get a landscape plan. The House 1196 rendering started with CAD plans and elevations but no site or landscape plan, but I did get some references from my online architecture rendering gallery.

First, I upload a grayscale rendering to verify the house is modeled correctly. The iteration isn’t a design development interaction; it is to make sure I modeled the structure as per the CAD drawings I was provided. Any design change is quoted separately.

After the grayscale is approved, I add the site, colors, and materials. Again, I upload for comments, and if there are any comments, I’ll make those and upload them one final time. The last iteration should be a minor tweak, which usually happens in post-production.
