Mountain Home Renovation Renders With Stone Facades and a Walnut Kitchen

A Canadian interior design studio was renovating a house in the Blue Mountains area of Ontario: new stone facades front and back and a new kitchen. The design was set, so the studio hired us for renders only, to show the homeowners the finished house before work began.

Client & Market Context

An Interior Design Studio Presenting a Renovation to Its Clients

Our client is an interior design studio in Ontario that designs high-end homes. For a house in the Blue Mountains, a four-season resort area on Georgian Bay, the studio had finished the design of a full renovation and needed a mountain home renovation rendering set to present it to the homeowners before any work started.

Showing Homeowners a Finished House While It Still Stood Unchanged

The main challenge of home renovation rendering is that the client already knows the house as it is. Plans marked existing and new are clear to the designer and the builder, but homeowners need to see the result, with their own finish selections, before they sign off. The images had to answer four questions.

Cover of the guide on the pre-sales image set for a residential development

Free guide: off-plan buyers decide on 8 images, developers pay for 22

The frames above are the kind an off-plan buyer decides from, and there are fewer of them than most orders assume. In our priced composite, a developer paid $22,600 for twenty-two images, a film and panoramas, and still missed two of the eight that sell. The guide gives you the eight-image real estate rendering set, staged from launch to construction, and the one-page brief to send instead.

What are mountain home renovation renders?

Mountain home renovation renders are photoreal images of a house in the mountains or a resort area as it will look after renovation, made from drawings of the existing and new work. Designers and owners use them to approve facades, materials and interiors before construction starts.

Which views does a home renovation rendering project need?

Usually the street front, the rear or garden side and the room that drives the budget, often the kitchen. In this project we delivered four final views: two of the kitchen, the front facade and the rear facade, plus close-ups of materials rendered from the same scenes.

What files do you need from an interior designer?

Plans and elevations marked existing, to be removed and new, kitchen and pantry plans, finish selections for every surface and inspiration images for custom pieces. In this project the studio sent kitchen, pantry and exterior plan sets with its finish selections, and we built the 3D model from them.

Can you render a custom piece from inspiration images?

Yes. The island in this kitchen is a table-style piece with turned legs and a dark top, modelled from the designer’s inspiration images and dimensions. We matched wood, stain, hardware and proportions, so the homeowners could approve the piece before a cabinetmaker built it.

How do renders help homeowners approve a renovation?

They replace a stack of plans, sample boards and mood images with one picture of the finished room or facade. Homeowners approve stone, roofing, cabinetry and lighting together, questions are answered before anything is ordered, and the designer avoids changes once the trades are on site.

Do you work with interior designers in Canada and abroad?

Yes. We work remotely with interior designers, architects and builders across Canada, the United States, Europe, Australia and the Gulf. Projects run from your drawings and finish selections, with reviews online, so the studio’s location does not limit where the house can be.
