Golden Ratio House Exteriors

Hi everyone,

Here is one my latest projects - Golden Ratio House, where all spaces are proportional to each other.

I have been chipping away at this project for longer than I would like to admit, and I am super happy that I finally found the time to finish it, where I am responsible for both the design and visualisation. I am an architect and I find visualising my own projects as ever more important. Full project profile can be found at https://uhstudio.com/projects/golden-ratio-house

Rendered in Cycles, post-processed in Affinity Photo.

There are numerous addons and assets that I have used to assist me in making this:

  • Archipack
  • Materialiq
  • Botaniq
  • Transportation addon
  • Interior Essentials
  • Outdoor essentials
  • Scatter
  • Chocofur assets
  • Evermotion assets

Thoughts, comments, critiques appeciated.

Hi Dimitar!

Big fan here :slight_smile: (also architect, also love doing visualisations)

Really like those renderings, looks like an awesome place! Very interesting read on your website too.

I have a few (very nitpicky, probably too harsh) comments:

  • 1st image: Love the sunset vibe! It could be even stronger though, I think with some more contrast in terms of light intensity. In my opinion, the outside should be a bit darker. It is too brightly lit in my opinion and has a purple tone to it which could be more blueish (to convey the sunset mood).
  • 2nd image: I also think the outside is too bright but the purple tone is gone, it looks very nice!
  • 3rd image: This is much more brownish in terms of tone and doesn’t fit well together with the vibe of the other 2 images. I miss that nice blue sunset tone in the colours from the first 2 images. I know it is a different view with no sky though :slight_smile:
    I am also not sure about the composition here - you just about cut a bit away of the subject on the right and left hand side. I think I would prefer to either have it fully in frame or close in a little more to focus on something more specific rather than the full structure.

I know this sounds harsher than I intend it to be - I really like the project, especially the first 2 images! Just thought that my feedback might be helpful.

Oh, and btw: I love those interior renders on your website too, they are really nicely done!

Thanks for the commments - Yes. I do find it difficult to match the mood consistently as I am looking for how to crate the best image possible for the current view I am working on. Also, I am not payingt to much attention to complimentary colours in the images, yet

Appreciate your kind comments. What is it that you think makes them good?

on pure rendering quality, this is excellent, I rarely see Cycles being pushed to this level of realism!

thanks! although I’ve seen plenty of excellent Cycles examples. In the end, it’s as much about post-processing as it is about raw rendering
