Senior Housing Interior Renderings

When I was asked to create interior renderings for an senior housing facility, having aging parents myself, I jumped at the opportunity. All the furniture was custom modeled from the interior designer's specifications as well as all the other finishes (carpet, floors, wall art…). I was asked to add people, so space looked lively and exciting, which I did. People are always challenging to pull off unless you photograph people in the right lighting conditions and position for the renderings, which usually is cost prohibitive for most interior rendering budgets. These people are stock photos, and color corrected to seamlessly integrate into the interior renderings.

Penthouse Rendering

My client, who is an interior designer, had a client who couldn’t visualize their penthouse remodel design. Walls were removed, ceiling was changed and mirrors were hung. After a few iterations, my client’s client fell in love with their penthouse remodel, all before a hammer was swung.

Moose Hollow Renderings

I render a lot of different architectural styles, however, I think these rustic houses might be my niche. I am from Chicago, but moved up North to Northern MN a decade ago, so that might have something to do with it.

I am not a great fan of over-processed images, but I did a little HDRI color-grading to bring out the roughness of the material.

“Just wanted to send you a short note telling you that the renderings are absolutely beautiful. Also thanks for the the rear facing rendering as we believed it was not included in the price. Finding you was after doing a few hours of researching company’s all over the country. I can assure you that not only will work find its way to you from our showcase marketing, which serves to benefit the National Ability Center, but Ive already given your name out to one of the largest building company’s here in Utah. Again, thank you for a job well done.

Inspiration

I often get emails asking for advice, favors, and freebies, but it isn’t often I get an email like this. It made my week, thank you!

Bobby,

I want to say thank you for the inspiration. I have referenced your renders for a long time in trying to improve my skill. Also your contributions to the Arch Viz community through your blog and various forums are a great resource. I appreciate you taking the time to post on the forums offering advice and providing solid solutions to the questions people have. I started following your work when I was employed at an architectural firm in Calgary, Alberta. This was around when my daughter was born and I was inspired by your business model to take the plunge to go freelance. Since then I have been working from home and it's the best thing I have done for my family.

Anyway, I'm not selling or asking anything I just wanted to pass on my appreciation of your work.
All the best,

312 West Wind Road Rendering

Rush jobs are uncommon, but do happen. When they do happen, it does create a scheduling nightmare. My objective is to meet my clients rush need without jeopardizing normally scheduled projects. My first questions is why is there a rush?

“Lack of Planning on Your Part Does Not Constitute an Emergency on My Part”

— unknown

A rush job will usually cost you more and not only will it cost you more, everything is rushed and the quality of your rendering might be compromised. These images turned out great, and there was no compromise in quality; my rush client got me all the needed information in a timely matter.

12 Cornell Road House Rendering

Great testimony on the benefits of an architectural rendering. The house was designed, went through all the review processes, and signed off by the owner. All the CAD files we sent to me and I virtually built the house. After sending my client a gray-scale proof, they noticed that the detail at the entrance formed a perfect Christian cross. Now, my client’s name is Christian, but I don’t know is religious affiliation, but I can assure you, he didn’t know he would have a cross at his front door. Personally, I loved it. The design was changed and now it doesn’t look like a Christian Church. Everyone involved scratched their heads wondering why they didn’t notice from the CAD drawings. Once they saw the architectural rendering it was plain as day, even on the CAD drawings that they have been looking at for months.

725 Brookside House Rendering

I absolutely love this house!

I work for people across the globe and I see a lot of architecture and I know a lot of architects world-wide. Most architects outside of the states mock me for the american houses I illustrate. You know, the box with the garage door taking up most of the front facade. Well, this American house breaks that mold and I love it; I think they will love it too.

“This looks freaking amazing!... I am serious, thanks so much for creating these, should really help market and get them SOLD SOLD SOLD!! ”

Margolius Residence

Great piece of property with a nicely designed home. There are three proposed structures. A main house with an outdoor pool, a garage, and a crafts building. The site is hilly and heavily wooded, which added a level of complexity to the project.

Nashville, TN, a place my daughter wants to visit and a place I have done many architectural renderings for. Another thing about Nashville, TN, I have yet to work on an architectural rendering project that had a flat site; very hilly. Well, my daughter will get her wish because we are making a trip down to TN this weekend. I am going to Memphis and my wife and daughter will continue West to Nashville, TN.

Manor Streetscape Rendering

Streetscape renderings are pretty time consuming and not easy to pull off, but hopefully I pulled it off on the Manor Streetscape Renderings. With a ton of detail, subtle depth of field and creative color grading, my objective was to make it a real an natural looking suburban street.

This projects has six more images and I’ll those later, so please come back in a week. Each house gets a one point perspective and then I have an overall view to create.
