Here are some of the latest renderings and presentation materials prepared by Orban Design in the beginning of 2023. Two highlights include a rendering of a new house with an amazing mountain view that the owners wanted to capture from a double height interior space. The other highlight is a set of presentation plans for a small senior living development prepared for a public meeting. Additional work includes a few residential design studies of various scales.

3D Visualization is a great tool for many types of projects, big and small. This kitchen renovation was still in the conceptual phase so I took the existing measurements and the concept layout, along with some reference images from the client, to render the proposed space. The series of renders I produced helped the client refine the kitchen layout. It was difficult for the client to evaluate the layout based solely on the drawings. Once we were able to look at it in 3D we could quickly see where the plans needed to be adjusted. You can observe from the progression of renderings how the kitchen design was refined to the final version.

While the majority of my work this past year was residential, I also had a nice variety of commercial and multi-family apartment projects that I’ve rendered. The images I prepare for builders, real estate agents and architects are typically used for marketing and/ or to help development teams visualize their project. Often the images begin with the initial design and material selections, but once clients see the images they find it helpful to take advantage of the 3D design process to work with me to refine the design. With the 3D model I can quickly show the client many different options such as color, texture, or lighting.

It’s been another great year at Orban Design. Many thanks to my clients for providing me with some great projects to render. First up are a collection of residential renderings. Many of these are projects that I’ve rendered for other architects to help their clients make design decisions on things like massing, exterior materials, and site orientation. Some projects also continue on to the interior to assist with decision-making there as well.

I recently received some pictures from the builder of a completed house for which I had prepared renderings. The renderings were very useful in testing out material combinations and adjusting the massing of the design. Take a look at how close the renderings match the finished product!
