Crested Butte

are those downlights part of the design? The "sconce" pattern is really strong on that wall, would be better with a wall washer imo but that's just me.

No, not really. I just placed some V-Ray lights. If the project returns I'll play around with some wall washers.

Updated front with the new back. They tricked me with the back. I got a panic email that the board wanted to see the back, which I told them that I needed to charge them for it. It took weeks to get approval and when I started, I checked a railing detail they mentioned just to find that the back of the building totally changed from when I built the front. I told them I had 1/2 a day to render the back and here it is 15 hours later. Anyway, it is done. I am not going to send it to them until Monday morning. I if I send it now they'll spend the weekend marketing it up, expecting me to work all weekend on it.

They look great.

I live not too far from CB and have been there a few times. The Colorado Rockies are generally dry and semi arid. For me, The landscaping and veg look great but not very representative of what actually grows and etc at that local. Too lush. If clients like it then who cares? Not me, just putting out there FYI.

I do a lot of rusted cor-ten material. It's vey popular in western ski resorts like CB and Telluride ( where I am).
I have a pretty simple noise based material that I use all the time and think looks like what is used. Could be on corrugated or standing seam roofs, wainscot, flat panels, chimneys, railings and on and on. Have a variations that represents bonderized/ dull galvanized and mill finished raw steel. All commen materials in "mountain modern" architecture. I think you can see all of that in some of the renderings on my site if interested.

Yeah, the landscaping was a second thought on these. I think these will be used for the board of directors to make some decisions. I once read if you are working with a board, double your rates
