Elevating Architectural Visuals: A Photorealistic Transformation
Embedded Files
This project involved reimagining the visual presentation of a luxury townhouse development near a Toronto park. The original render lacked environmental accuracy and photorealism, presenting an overly artistic interpretation. Through a consultative approach, I transformed the visuals into a set of photorealistic renders that accurately reflect the design intent and environmental context.

Key updates included refining exterior materials like manufactured stone, natural stone veneers, and aluminum architectural panels for realism, adjusting lighting and shadows to reflect true-to-life conditions, and incorporating authentic environmental elements to situate the development within its urban setting. This enhanced visualization not only elevated the aesthetic quality but also provided stakeholders with a clearer understanding of the project’s potential impact and livability.

Original Renders
The original renders lacked environmental accuracy and realism. Oversized vegetation made the building appear out of place, while skewed perspectives and flat compositions diminished its visual appeal. Additionally, raw outputs from the modeling software lacked proper material settings, resulting in unrealistic textures and an unpolished look.
These issues were resolved in the updated renders, which feature accurate scaling, refined perspectives, and advanced visualization techniques for realistic materials and an engaging presentation.
