3D Visuals for Urban Housing

OVERVIEW

A property developer was starting a new project and had basic architectural designs for an urban housing scheme. They needed high-quality photo-realistic visuals to help secure funding and permissions for the project.

THE CHALLENGE

The only design documentation available was a simple siteplan, basic 2D drawings and reference photos for textures and details. They needed photo-real visuals of each house type, showing the landscaping as well as an aerial view with the new development in place.

THE WORK

Based on this limited design information, I built detailed 3D models for the houses, set up the full scene with trees, landscaping, cars and people. Several revisions were needed to ensure the finishes and details matched what the architect had envisioned.

AI tools were used to add subtle detail and realism, without losing precise control of the building designs and layout.
