Cohousing project | ORCA Architects

Hello everyone,

This is my first time posting some work here.

These are images of a co-housing project with a shared garden on a small plot of land in the city center of a belgian town.
The architects needed some images to convince the municipality of their project and because they work with eco-friendly materials (chalk walls and wood) they had some trouble convincing them without visuals
The last image is, just to be clear, an actual photo with the building fit in.

I hope you like them.

Kind Regards

Mattias

Haha, your images are so good, that i only recognised that the last one is real photo, when i read the description. Outstanding job! I don’t do archviz, but still i would love to see at least small making off.

Thanks romullus,

I don`t mind doing a making of, just let me know in which aspects/elements you interested in.

Most of all, i’m curious to know your appraoch to lighting and tonemapping/post-processing, but i’d gladly read about any aspect of your creation process.

Congrats. Super realistic and a natural, peaceful atmosphere.

Great set of renders here!

Please make sure to setup thumbnail image so more people can get here.

all the best

Hi,

I tried to write a bit of my workflow and thoughts down.
Hopefully its interesting…

@twoheads: I noticed that too, but no idea how ppl manage to add that thumbnail :smiley:

I’ve seen these over on social media, totally digging the style! I’m quite a fan of how you got the colors to be so vibrant yet not come off as fake. The mood and the atmosphere sells the architecture really well too :smiley: Really well done images, congratulations!

Oh and thanks for sharing the secret sauce :wink:

Thanks for the insights, it was interesting to read. Regarding thumbnail - go and edit the first post of the topic and attach your thumbnail image via forum attachment system (you’ll find it below text edit area) - the forum will automatically pick it up and set as topic’s thumbnail.

I was going to say that last image had the best car material i’ve ever seen, guess I know why now lol. The renders matching the same tone of the photo really sells it.

The results from just the RAW render are really impress, I kinda like the darker shadows from it more but that’s just a personal preference.

Totally realistic! Well done!

Have you used Corona Sun/Sky as Env. and PGsky just for background on the pool view?

Thanks for share :smiley:

Saw these on ArtStation - deeply photographic images here, great work +1

Thanks for the kind replies everyone.
Thanks corona team for posting it on your social media. I really appreciate it.

@n.merazzi: Just corona sun and sky, no hdri background.

@JoeVallard: I actually like to have darker shadows too, but I have experienced that a lot of architects don`t like shadows :).
