111 Master Bedroom | Praxis Studio

Project Overview

111 Master Bedroom is a residential interior project in Ottawa, ON where the design speaks through its details. The residential architect asked us for 2 views that would let those details do the talking.

Spacious master bedroom with platform bed, ceiling fan, TV on low media console, floor-to-ceiling curtains, armchair, and warm wood flooring with people in the scene.

The Challenge

The design language was distinctive — a mix of forms and materials that doesn’t photograph itself. Translating that into a render that feels lived-in rather than clinical took several rounds of material and lighting refinement.

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

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 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 modelling phase was methodical. We built the geometry from the architectural plans, cross-referencing elevations and sections to catch anything that might read differently in three dimensions than it does on paper.
