Shingle Style Mansion 108
Traditional Mansion Visualization
Grand shingle-style mansion with multiple dormers, covered wraparound porch, stone accents, and generous front lawn.
Project Overview
Shingle Style Mansion 108 started with a conversation about what this luxury 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
Lighting was the quiet challenge here. The boutique architecture firm wanted Daylight, Overcast / Soft Light conditions, and getting those to look natural — not staged, not oversaturated — is where a lot of archviz falls flat.
Getting the materials right was non-negotiable. The boutique architecture firm had specific finishes in mind, and anything that read as ‘generic CG’ would undermine the credibility of the entire package.
Our Approach
Lighting development ran parallel to the modelling. We tested multiple Daylight, Overcast / Soft Light setups early — before the geometry was even finished — so we could lock in the mood and atmosphere without burning production time later.
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.
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.
The Result
Delivery took 1-2 weeks from kick-off to final files. The 2-image set now powers the project’s online presence, sales centre displays, and social media content.
