spec houses

[powerandrubber]

A couple spec houses I'm working on. The siding, trim and stucco colors are made up, I'm still waiting for color info from the client so I can finish.

Not bad - but that 70cm drop on the second house's front step has lawsuit written all over it...

LOL good thing I'm not the architect

The flowers growing randomly in grass is very strange. Just some simple crit. Beautiful house modeling etc.

Nice images. The flowers need desaturating though and the roof lets both images down a bit, have you played with displacement? Another small thing which can lift exteriors is to place bedding under your planting and shrubs.

Nice lighting setup, I would put a paving at base of house just so that the house is not coming straight out of the grass. The flowers look too bright and perfect and agree that they distract from the image (they look like a bit of an after thought)
are the bricks the standard size (whatever standard is)

First image is best,
cheers,

Thanks for the crits. Ok I made a quick plant bed with that flexible plastic landscape divider stuff. (sticking up too far I know) I think it helps but you might be right about it being too distracting overall. I'll try a version without and see. Desaturating the flowers definitly helps. I agree about the lack of visible foundation on the front but the arch dwgs call for what's shown. Notice the cmu foundation on the right elevation which continues around the rest of the house. I'll probably make a version showing some foundation under the brick for my own gallery.

excellent work. Are the trees onyxtree?. Also wondering about the hedge if it displacement?. Looks basically flawless to me...

not that its relevant here but elements of the design in the one you have amended are horrible in my opinion (entrance, entry stairs, corner elements). I think you have done really well to make them look good

The lighting and composition do look good. I just can't get over the entries. How do you get to the front door in the first image? Even if the architect has drawn the entries like this, I'd try to make them look a little more....accessible. The second one at least needs some sort of railing. Again...not a knock on your renders...they look great.

The bordering around the flowers is a welcomed addition and my eye thanks you! Excellent work, keep it up.
