Daniel Desert Modern

Project Overview

Every project has a story. For Daniel Desert Modern, we told it across 2 perspective views — from the signature hero shot that anchors the branding down to the granular views that satisfy technical reviewers.

Desert contemporary single-story home, tan stucco with dark brown corten-like accents, flat/hipped roof, attached garages, sunset sky, xeriscape.

The Challenge

Lighting was the quiet challenge here. The luxury home designer wanted Sunset conditions, and getting those to look natural — not staged, not oversaturated — is where a lot of archviz falls flat.

At 2 deliverables, there’s a real risk of redundancy — views that look too similar or don’t add new information. We planned the camera positions deliberately so every image earned its place in the set.

Our Approach

Landscape and entourage came last but mattered enormously. Trees, people, vehicles, sky — these contextual elements are what make a render feel like a photograph instead of a diagram.

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 luxury home designer for sign-off before rendering.

The rendering pipeline was set up to handle 2 outputs efficiently. Shared lighting rigs, consistent material libraries, and a standardised colour pipeline meant every image maintained the same visual standard.

The Result

All 2 images were delivered on schedule within 1-2 weeks. The luxury home designer has used the package across their website, printed materials, and investor presentations.
