Day View Rustic Modern

Project Overview

This luxury home project in Oxford, UK arrived with ambition. Day View Rustic Modern needed 3 photorealistic perspective views covering everything from hero marketing shots to detailed design-review angles.

Two-story contemporary-rustic residence with corten steel cladding, stone base, timber and steel framing, large windows, wooded hillside setting.

The Challenge

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.

Getting the materials right was non-negotiable. The private homeowner had specific finishes in mind, and anything that read as ‘generic CG’ would undermine the credibility of the entire package.

Our Approach

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 private homeowner for sign-off before rendering.

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 Day setups early — before the geometry was even finished — so we could lock in the mood and atmosphere without burning production time later.

The Result

The full set of 3 renders was delivered within 2-3 weeks. Hero images went out first for early marketing, with the complete gallery following shortly after for the project website and brochure.
