Lake House: an interior design project with photo-like renders

An interior design project for a 148 m² single-storey house by a lake, in warm minimalism: light oak, travertine, microcement, lime plaster, linen and bouclé. The project has the layout and furniture plan, a dimensioned plan, floor and lighting plans, elevations of the kitchen, the fireplace wall, the bathroom and the bedroom, a finish schedule, a furniture schedule and renders of every main room and of the house outside. All the sheets, the 3D model and the cameras come from one project file, so the windows, doors and furniture in the pictures stand where the drawings put them.

147.7 m²: total area, 10 rooms
8: views, each with its 3D model
34: fittings on the lighting plan
18: A3 sheets in the album

Discuss a similar task All work: 3D & engineering

Lake House: an interior design project with photo-like renders — Every render belongs to a camera on the plan: pick a camera or a thumbnail and the plan zooms to that room. The divider on the picture reveals the 3D massing the shot was made from. The plan layers (furniture, lighting, floors and dimensions) switch on with the buttons above it.

The task

Show a design project the way a client receives it: interiors that look like a finished house, and drawings the house can be fitted out from.

What I did

A 148 m² layout: a 73 m² kitchen-living room with a fireplace and a panoramic window onto the lake, a bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom, a study, a guest room, a hall, a laundry
A 3D model from the plan: walls with their openings, built-ins, light; each camera gets its own massing render
Eight renders: each one generated from its camera’s massing render and a written brief of the view, the best of several candidates kept; a weak shot was generated again from scratch, never edited
Plans: furniture, dimensions, floors with the board layout, lighting with 34 fittings in 14 groups
Elevations of the kitchen, the fireplace wall, the bathroom and the bedroom at 1:40 with dimensions and materials
A finish schedule, a furniture schedule and an 18-sheet A3 album as a PDF
A viewer on the page: cameras on the plan, the massing and the render side by side, plan layers

Proof

The camera on the plan and the massing under each render come from the same model the drawings are drawn from: the windows and the furniture in the shot are where the plan puts them

My role

Layout and interior concept, the 3D model and the camera views, renders, drawings, the project album and the viewer on the page

Demo project: made on my own to show how I approach this kind of task. Not client work — names and data are fictional.

Demo project: the house is fictional. The renders were generated by a neural network (Codex, OpenAI) from the 3D model and a brief of each view. The album is not construction documentation.
