There will be a series of these cottages, but to tell you the truth, I went rogue on this one. I'll have to do another version for my client, which will be a lot less involved. The brief didn't have a site or landscape plan and basically, I was told to put the cottage on a flat area with some bushes behind it. I started off in that direction, but I wasn't wowed, so I strayed from the brief a little.

I also played with color grading, pretty heavy, which I don't usually do on client work. I'll share these with my client, but I'll include something closer to what he requested. The goal was to not take away from the architecture.

Below is the client version. I think it still might be too much garden, but as I said, there was no landscape or site plan. The brief was, “don’t do anything that takes away from the architecture”. However, as you see, there isn’t much architecture as it is.
