Project Overview
Contemporary Wood Orange House is a luxury home project in Asheville, NC where the design speaks through its details. The custom home builder asked us for 3 views that would let those details do the talking.

The Challenge
The project site has strong character — mature trees, sloping terrain, established neighbours. Ignoring that context would have produced renders that felt disconnected from reality. We had to model the environment as carefully as the building itself.
Each viewpoint served a different audience. The hero shot needed marketing punch. The detail views needed technical precision. The aerial needed context. Making all of them feel cohesive while serving different purposes was the real puzzle.
Our Approach
We ran the first round of test renders at reduced resolution to get quick feedback on composition, materials, and overall mood. This let us catch issues early when changes were cheap, not late when they weren’t.
Camera positions were planned, not improvised. We mapped out high aerial oblique, eye-level three-quarter angles based on the project’s strongest design moments, then refined framing through a series of grey-shaded test renders before committing to final production.
We leaned on physically-based rendering throughout. Every material — glass, stone, metal, timber — was defined by real-world optical properties. That’s what makes the difference between a render that looks ‘nice’ and one that looks true.
The Result
Production closed within 2-3 weeks. The hero image is now the signature visual for Contemporary Wood Orange House, and the supporting gallery views have been deployed across the custom home builder’s marketing channels.
