860 Brook Hollow House Rendering

List your property months before the remodel is completed. This is how real estate companies are moving properties faster. After all, most borrow money and pay interest on that loan; if you can sell the property before you start, it is a win/win. Often, it also allows the home buyer to contribute to some of the material selections. For example, what would be a home becomes a semi-custom home.

House 4407 Rendering

For 18 years, I lived in a small upper Minnesota town called Breezy Point. In Breezy Point, there is a road called Airport Road, and you got it; there is a line of hangers for private airplanes, and one hanger looks very similar to the House 4407 Rendering.

White has been very popular over the past couple of years. I think probably half of my architectural renderings have been white. I guess it is timeless, so it works on most of the houses I render.

Pavey House Rendering

What a cute home, I like the stone with the wood; a great feel.

Often, like the Pavey rendering, I am provided CAD files and inspirational photos. I prefer a complete color board, with all the colors and materials vetted, but often, that is not the case. However, inspirational images for colors and materials work perfectly fine.

Glass Manufacturer Rendering

Yes, I do commercial high and mid-rise renderings. That is how I started professionally; high-rise luxury architectural renderings. I wish I could show some stuff from the early days, but 25 years ago, it wasn’t nearly as pretty as it is today. Not to minimize some of the work I see online today, but it is equivalent to what I did back then.

Here is a mid-rise rendering that I wanted to share. It was for a glass manufacturer; some animation was done as well. The company made transition glass for buildings, which is pretty cool if you as me.

Brucker Cottage Fall Rendering

My favorite season is Fall. I am from Chicago, where there are four equal seasons. Fall, by far, is my favorite. Eighteen years ago, I moved to upper Minnesota, and Fall was about two weeks, and then eight months of Winter. So the anxiety of Winter put a damper on the anticipation of Fall. Now, I am in Southern California and coming into my first Fall; I hear that it is beautiful.

Anyway, here is my first Fall themed rendering. This rendering will be published on the cover of a home builder print publication, which happens to me occasionally.

Shady Lake Rendering

Oh, lake living! Living in upper MN for 15 years, I saw my share of lakes; there are over 10,000, after all. The lakes are 2’ of ice for the better part of 8 months, but when they are thawed, they are a blast.

Here is a lake home rendering that I just sent off for approval. The brief was, “we would love to see this model home plan on a lake.” Lake? I can do that!

G570 Phelps Pool House Rendering

Oh yeah! Summertime and pools are my favorites; there is nothing better in life than the sun and water. Okay, there are many better things, but I like pools. Imagine having friends and family over at your pool; now, not much gets better than that.

The G570 Phelps Pool House Rendering was modeled in a day, texture mapped, and rendered in a day, which included color grading in post-production. With feedback and small design tweaks, the project had a three-day duration from start to completion.

Pricing a rendering is a per-project process. Each home or pool house is different. A structure’s size doesn’t matter much since I have had large structures with little detail and small structures with a ton of detail.

House 1196 Rendering

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.
