English Cottage Clay Tile Roof

Project Overview

English Cottage Clay Tile Roof wasn’t just another rendering job — it was a visual campaign. The real estate developer needed 2 views that could work across presentations, print materials, and digital marketing simultaneously.

3D render of front elevation of English cottage with clay tile roof, brick entry surround, three dormers, stucco walls, attached garage, cobblestone driveway.

The Challenge

The timeline was compressed. The real estate developer had a launch date that wasn’t moving, which meant our production schedule had zero slack for extended revision cycles.

Stakeholder alignment was part of the challenge. Multiple decision-makers had different priorities for what the renders should emphasise, and we had to find compositions that satisfied all of them without diluting any single perspective.

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 real estate developer for sign-off before rendering.

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.

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

The Result

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