create a highly photorealistic luxury living room centered around a sculptural fireplace important maintain the exact existing architectural elements from the reference image including the wood flooring and door style do not change layout proportions or base materials only enhance realism and material quality fireplace design exact style from reference design a modern fireplace with a multi step progressively inset surround matching the proportions and rhythm shown in the reference image the surround should consist of several stepped layers that recess inward toward the firebox each layer equal in thickness creating clean consistent shadow lines all edges should be sharp mitered and precisely aligned the fireplace should terminate cleanly at the floor with no hearth maintaining a flush architectural look the firebox should be a simple black insert with a minimal frame providing strong contrast against the marble material primary feature clad the entire fireplace in calacatta viola marble the marble should feature creamy white base bold burgundy and wine colored veining natural variation with a high end slab appearance ensure veining flows intentionally across the stepped layers and feels realistic to slab installation finish should be honed or lightly polished refined not overly glossy floor transition detail critical for realism maintain the exact existing wood flooring from the reference image do not change color plank size or layout at the base of the fireplace include a tight precise micro joint approx 1 8 or subtle shadow gap between the wood flooring and marble no trim no baseboard no overlap the transition should feel intentional and flush include slight natural shadowing within the joint to enhance realism doors surrounding architecture maintain the exact door style and finish shown in the reference image do not modify design proportions or color keep surrounding walls simple and light soft white or plaster finish do not add millwork shelving decor or objects lighting realism critical render as a highly photorealistic architectural digest style interior photograph with a restoration hardware aesthetic the goal is to enhance realism only not redesign use soft natural daylight entering from one side creating gentle highlights across each stepped layer allow shadows to fall naturally within each recess to emphasize depth and precision materials must read true to life depth and richness in calacatta viola veining subtle softness of honed marble accurate wood grain and tone in existing flooring realistic shadow gradients especially at step transitions and floor joint avoid overly dramatic contrast keep lighting soft warm and diffused avoid wide angle distortion keep vertical lines perfectly straight and proportions true overall direction do not redesign the space only elevate material realism lighting and detail quality the final image should feel indistinguishable from a professionally photographed high end residential interior with a refined restoration hardware aesthetic this version is exactly how you keep archsynth from changing your spec while still pushing realism hard
