Bjorn Red Modular House

Scandinavian Modern Container House Visualization

3D render of the same red modular container house from the opposite angle. Entry porch with white railings and deck visible at left, front door flanked by tall narrow windows. Wider facade shows varied window arrangement. Corner detail shows white-painted structural framing. Rose bushes and hydrangeas in the foreground garden. Broader view reveals multiple connected modules forming a spacious single-story layout.

Project Overview

Bjorn Red Modular House started with a conversation about what this modular home project in Los Angeles, CA needed to communicate. The answer was 2 carefully planned views, each telling a different part of the design story.

The Challenge

One of the trickier aspects was environmental context. A building doesn’t exist in a vacuum, and placing this modular home design convincingly into its Los Angeles, CA surroundings required careful attention to vegetation, street furniture, lighting conditions, and neighbouring structures.

The design was still evolving when we started. We had to build a model flexible enough to absorb changes mid-stream without derailing the production schedule.

Our Approach

We started where we always start: with the drawings. Every wall thickness, every material notation, every site boundary got translated into the 3D model before we touched a single texture or light.

Lighting development ran parallel to the modelling. We tested multiple Overcast Daylight setups early — before the geometry was even finished — so we could lock in the mood and atmosphere without burning production time later.

Material selection was hands-on. We sourced textures from manufacturer libraries and matched them against the specification documents. Where specs were ambiguous, we sent samples to the eco-housing developer for sign-off before rendering.
