Old Gate Road Renderings

It is New Year’s Eve, and I am wrapping up a few pieces I wanted to share.

I am an architectural student dropout and have spent the past 30 years working in architecture as an architectural illustrator. I spent much of my free time doing street photography, mainly architecture. Here in San Diego, where I live, there are some great places like Balboa Park, which I go to often for architecture.

I am impressed with these homes; from proportions to scale, they are all excellent. Not your typical bland American architecture of the 21st Century. I have two more houses, one I will finish today. The final one, well, it’ll be done Monday.

Which home do you like best?

Pointe Place Apartment Rendering

Here is a mid-sized apartment rendering to be used for marketing. It is a lovely, clean-looking building; I like the designer’s material choices and colors.

1602 Old Gate Lane Rendering

This home rendering is still going through the review process, but I thought I would share it early. I love this home design. Although the client commissioned me to do one view, I will do some vignettes when I get time. There are some neat features not shown in the view.

“You do amazing work; thanks! ”

I have always wondered why I don’t see more of these projects. Projects where the client wants to see different color scenarios. Maybe cost, but what does it cost to repaint a house, are even worse, have to live with something that you don’t like?

Which one do you like better, the light or dark?

2400 Evans House Rendering

Here is another smaller house rendering, the 2400 Evans House Rendering. I love the metal roof, white brick, and dark timber—three of my favorite building materials in one home.

Ashville House Renderings

Good afternoon!

I have been wrapped up a couple of larger commercial project renderings, so I haven’t shared much lately. Not because I haven’t had smaller rendering projects to share but because I haven’t had time to share them. You know, life-work balance.

Here are the Ashville House Renderings. This is my wheelhouse and happy place. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy large, complicated rendering projects, and of course, I enjoy interior renderings, but small house exteriors are my happy place.

Wedding Venue Rendering

You might have missed this year's wedding season, but it isn’t too late to send me your wedding venue CAD files, and I can create a set of stunning renderings that you can use to market for the Spring.

1479 Jade Oaks House Rendering

The 1479 Jade Oaks house rendering needed a big oak in the front yard

Another smaller house rendering to share with you. I enjoy projects that can start and complete in a day. Some projects span months and move slowly. The feedback can sometimes take weeks, so I have to schedule the time to make those changes. These small homes are fast and fun.

Harlan Lot 1 House Rendering

What a beautiful home!

A custom home project is one where you work directly with a homebuilder (and possibly your architect) to design, plan, and select every detail of the home's construction, layout, and finish. And when I say 'everything," I mean EVERYTHING.

The Interior is coming, and I'll share it when uploaded.

Stonebrooke Place Rendering

The American Bi-Level. My wife grew up in a similar house, and you see them all over the midwest. You enter onto a landing where you can either go up to the upper level or down to the lower level. I am unsure about the benefits of this floor plan; if you know the benefits, please let me know.

If you look, this rendering has a ton of detail, from the wood siding grain to the trim grain direction. I spent a lot of time adding elements that most other architectural illustrators don’t bother with. I can spend more time with detail than building the actual model.
