3D Exterior Rendering of Golden Home
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
This revision focuses the rendering effort on the two concepts the client responded to most positively and incorporates the specific feedback from the review.
PROJECT: 14062 W. 22nd Street, Golden, Colorado
UPDATED RENDERING DIRECTION
Based on client feedback, discontinue further development of the Iron Ore and full Japanese charred wood concepts. The preferred directions are the French Gray concept and the Natural Wood concept. Please prepare two refined rendering options using the existing model.
The renderings should be realistic and accurate but do not need to be ultra-photorealistic. The primary goal is to help the client make exterior material decisions.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR BOTH OPTIONS
Model Accuracy:
* Update window sizes and proportions to match the architectural drawings more accurately.
* Adjust site conditions and yard grading to better reflect the actual property.
* Verify all exterior materials are placed correctly on the model.
* Add any missing siding or stone elements noted below.
Views Required:
* Front perspective from the street.
* Front corner perspective.
* Rear perspective.
* Additional side perspective(s) as needed to clearly communicate material transitions and overall design.
Site & Landscape:
* Natural Golden, Colorado landscape.
* Native grasses, low-water shrubs, and Front Range planting palette.
* Warm afternoon lighting with realistic shadows.
* Landscaping should feel natural and established without appearing overly manicured.
OPTION A – REFINED FRENCH GRAY CONCEPT
Overall Character:
Warm modern farmhouse with timeless materials and strong architectural contrast.
Materials:
* Main siding: Benjamin Moore French Gray board-and-batten.
* Stone veneer: Texas white limestone dry-stack.
* Window frames: Black metal-clad.
* Front entry door: Clear-stained Douglas Fir.
* Garage doors: Clear-stained Douglas Fir.
* Roof: Dark charcoal asphalt shingles.
* Fascia and gutters: Black.
Specific Revisions:
* Maintain the limestone stone texture, which the client likes.
* Ensure the garage remains stone-clad as shown in the inspiration images.
* Add the missing Hardie board siding at the far left side of the upper-level addition.
* Revisit the material composition and stone layout to more closely match the provided inspiration images.
* Improve overall accuracy of window sizes and placement.
* Provide additional viewpoints so the client can confidently evaluate the design.
Desired Feel:
Elegant, welcoming, and refined with a balance of stone, painted siding, and natural wood accents.
OPTION B – REFINED NATURAL WOOD / MOUNTAIN MODERN CONCEPT
Overall Character:
Contemporary Colorado mountain architecture combining warm natural wood with selective darker accents.
Materials:
* Main siding: Vertical clear-stained wood siding.
* Stone veneer: Texas white limestone dry-stack.
* Window frames: Black metal-clad.
* Front entry door: Black.
* Additional accent doors: Black where appropriate.
* Roof: Dark charcoal asphalt shingles.
* Fascia and gutters: Dark bronze or soft charcoal rather than pure black.
Specific Design Exploration:
* Develop a warmer version of the previous wood concept.
* Introduce black elements selectively rather than applying dark colors to the entire building.
* Explore making the central architectural volume a darker accent element while maintaining warm wood on the primary masses.
* Maintain warm wood garage doors.
* Balance the natural wood tones with darker accents to create contrast without making the house feel too dark.
* Use the Japanese wood texture as inspiration for material richness and texture, but soften the overall color palette.
* Avoid large expanses of black siding, as the client feels the previous Iron Ore option was too dark.
Desired Feel:
Warm, sophisticated, mountain-modern architecture that blends natural materials with contemporary detailing. The emphasis should be on texture, contrast, and material authenticity rather than bold color changes.
FINAL DELIVERABLES
Provide matching views for both options so they can be compared side-by-side. The focus should be on helping the client evaluate exterior material selections, architectural character, and overall curb appeal while ensuring the renderings accurately represent the proposed design.
