Detached house — from model to visualisation

A barn-style house: a steep gable roof, vertical timber cladding and full-height glazing in the gable wall. The task was to build the model and carry it through to visualisations that show material and light, not just the massing.

I started with clean geometry in SketchUp, with no materials at all — a white model reveals the proportions and the window divisions that colour later hides. Materials came second, still in the working view, to check how warm timber sits next to dark sheet metal and whether the glazed gable breaks up the elevation. Only once those decisions were settled did I move the model into Twinmotion and set the light.

Two finished views — the exterior in daylight and the interior after dark — together with the working views that show where they came from.
