overall width proportions rooflines roof pitches gable sizes and locations wall locations setbacks window and door sizes and positions porch configuration garage door configuration overhangs and overall massing use the provided inspiration photograph only as the reference for exterior materials colors textures detailing and overall architectural character do not redesign the house to resemble the architecture or massing of the inspiration photograph 2d drawing architecture and geometry inspiration photo materials colors and finish character exterior material palette match the sophisticated contemporary transitional material palette of the inspiration photograph extremely closely with one intentional change the taupe panel siding becomes very dark charcoal stone use the same light warm gray creamy neutral natural stone shown in the inspiration photograph include subtle variation between cream light gray warm beige and soft greige tones without becoming yellow apply stone specifically to the stone hatched areas indicated in the 2d elevation including the tall central front gable portions around the garage front facade porch area and other masonry areas indicated in the drawing give the stone realistic dimensional relief individual stone variation natural texture mortar joints and subtle shadowing it must look like genuine installed masonry rather than a flat texture wood siding use warm medium brown natural horizontal wood siding closely matching the inspiration photograph apply it to the horizontal wood siding accent areas indicated in the front facing gables the wood should have subtle natural grain and tonal variation with a refined slightly muted appearance do not make it orange yellow red overly saturated or rustic dark charcoal architectural panels wherever the inspiration photograph uses light taupe off white large format panel siding change that material to very dark charcoal large format architectural panels on this house use a sophisticated near black charcoal not pure black with a smooth matte finish and subtle recessed panel joints the charcoal should remain slightly lighter than the black windows fascia and metalwork so there is visible tonal separation these are large format smooth architectural panels with clean recessed joints not board and batten siding do not introduce raised battens narrow vertical strips exaggerated grooves or farmhouse style siding only the taupe panel material changes to charcoal do not recolor the wood siding or stone roof use dimensional architectural asphalt shingles in a deep charcoal black tone closely matching the inspiration photograph maintain realistic individual shingle texture and subtle tonal variation metal accent roofs use black standing seam metal roofing on the small accent roof areas indicated in the elevation including the front porch and garage accent roof keep the standing seams refined and realistically scaled windows use black framed windows throughout preserve every window s exact size shape proportions and location from the elevation give the glass realistic depth and subtle reflections of the sky trees and surrounding environment trim fascia soffit use deep charcoal black fascia gutters downspouts window frames and exterior metal detailing maintain subtle tonal separation between these black elements and the dark charcoal panel siding garage doors preserve the exact garage door arrangement and proportions shown in the elevation use sophisticated dark charcoal garage doors coordinated with the exterior palette critical architectural accuracy the supplied 2d elevation must remain immediately recognizable in the finished rendering preserve the wide horizontal proportions of the house do not compress narrow stretch or alter the overall scale preserve the exact composition and hierarchy of the front facing gables including the left porch gable tall central stone gable and prominent garage gable maintain their individual heights widths roof pitches setbacks and relationships to one another preserve the asymmetrical composition do not make the facade more symmetrical maintain the exact garage arrangement shown in the drawing including the smaller left garage door large central garage door and smaller right garage door preserve the front porch on the left side including its columns recessed entry steps roof configuration and relationship to the adjacent stone and windows preserve all tall vertical windows within the gables exactly as drawn do not add remove enlarge shrink or relocate windows or doors do not add additional gables dormers rooflines or architectural features do not copy the rooflines gable arrangement window arrangement or massing of the inspiration photograph site elevated lake setting place the home on a beautiful established wooded lake property frame the architecture with large mature deciduous trees on both the left and right sides of the house these should be substantial naturally shaped mature trees with realistic trunks and broad canopies appropriately scaled to this large two story home the mature trees should naturally frame the house without obscuring important architectural features use refined established landscaping with a manicured lawn natural planting beds ornamental grasses shrubs and understated foundation plantings the landscaping should feel mature and established rather than newly installed include a realistic concrete driveway extending naturally toward all garage bays the property overlooks a lake located behind the house the house sits approximately 30 feet higher in elevation than the lake creating a long elevated view toward the water the lake should appear in the distance beyond and behind the house rather than immediately adjacent to the home where naturally visible around the sides of the house from this front perspective provide subtle glimpses toward the lower terrain distant lake and horizon beyond do not place the lake in the front yard do not make the home appear to sit directly at the shoreline the lake is behind the house farther away and approximately 30 feet lower in elevation the distant water should subtly reflect the muted early evening sky without becoming a dominant visual element lighting late golden hour early twilight render the scene during the transition from late golden hour into early twilight slightly before true dusk or blue hour there should still be a substantial amount of soft natural ambient daylight illuminating the entire exterior the image should feel moody sophisticated calm and atmospheric but not dark think approximately 20 30 minutes earlier than blue hour the sun is extremely low or has only just moved beyond the horizon but the sky and environment still provide significant natural illumination use a beautiful soft blue gray early evening sky with subtle remaining warmth near the horizon keep the colors natural and muted avoid a bright midday appearance dramatic orange sunset pink purple fantasy sky or dark nighttime scene the house should remain clearly and evenly readable the light stone warm wood siding very dark charcoal panels black trim garage doors and charcoal roof must all remain visually distinct preserve visible texture and detail within the dark charcoal siding and roofing do not crush the shadows or allow the dark materials to become featureless black surfaces turn on the home s warm interior lights but keep them restrained and realistic the windows should have a subtle inviting warm glow while still showing realistic reflections of the brighter early twilight sky turn on appropriate exterior sconces and subtle architectural lighting but these lights should supplement the remaining natural daylight rather than become the primary illumination source allow restrained warm light to gently illuminate portions of the stone porch entry garage landscaping and driveway the overall exposure should resemble high end professional architectural photography taken shortly before dusk soft natural illumination subtle early evening atmosphere gentle shadows warm interior windows rich materials and excellent exterior detail prioritize proper exposure of the house over dramatic darkness the facade should remain nearly as easy to read as a daytime architectural photograph simply with softer moodier early evening illumination camera height perspective critical position the camera at the natural eye level of a person physically standing on the driveway approximately 5 6 to 6 0 above finished driveway grade do not use an elevated architectural camera do not position the camera 10 15 or 20 feet above grade no drone or aerial perspective the viewer should feel as though they are standing in the driveway looking at the house with their own eyes because this is a large two story home and the camera is at normal human eye level the viewer should naturally be looking slightly upward at the upper story tall front facing gables and rooflines this subtle upward perspective is intentional the upper portions of the house should feel appropriately tall and impressive from human scale do not artificially raise the camera to visually center the second story show an appropriate amount of driveway in the foreground to reinforce the fact that the camera is positioned at driveway level use approximately a 30 35mm full frame architectural lens positioning the camera far enough away to capture the entire width and height of the house without resorting to an elevated viewpoint or excessive wide angle distortion maintain corrected verticals and professional architectural composition while still retaining the subtle sensation of looking upward from human eye level use only a very subtle three quarter perspective the front elevation should remain overwhelmingly dominant and closely resemble the supplied 2d drawing do not rotate the camera enough to substantially expose either side elevation or distort the width of the house ultra photorealistic quality the final image must look like a professional photograph of a real completed luxury custom lake home not a computer rendering illustration conceptual visualization or ai generated image render all materials with true physical depth and realistic imperfections dimensional stone and mortar subtle natural wood grain individual asphalt shingles realistic standing seam metal recessed architectural panel joints soffit depth fascia thickness realistic window glazing and reflections concrete texture natural landscaping and accurate shadows beneath roof overhangs use physically accurate global illumination ambient occlusion realistic contact shadows natural reflections subtle material imperfections and photographic dynamic range keep the color grading muted sophisticated natural and slightly cinematic without making the scene dark avoid excessive hdr crushed blacks excessive contrast oversaturation artificial sharpness glowing edges plastic looking materials or obvious cgi characteristics absolute priorities 1 preserve the supplied 2d elevation geometry and proportions exactly 2 camera must be approximately 5 5 6 feet above the driveway normal human standing eye level never elevated 3 the natural human height perspective should create a subtle upward view toward the large two story house 4 do not redesign the house to resemble the inspiration photograph 5 match the inspiration photograph s materials and color relationships extremely closely 6 change only the inspiration home s taupe panel siding to very dark charcoal architectural panels 7 keep the warm medium brown wood siding and light warm neutral stone 8 use black windows trim fascia and metal accents 9 never interpret the architectural panels as board and batten 10 preserve the home s wide scale exact gables windows porch and garage configuration 11 frame the house with large mature trees on both sides and subtly establish the distant lake approximately 30 feet below the home s elevation 12 lighting should be late golden hour transitioning into early twilight moody but still relatively bright not dark blue hour 13 warm interior lights should provide a subtle glow not overpower the remaining natural daylight 14 maintain excellent visibility and texture in all dark charcoal and black exterior materials 15 the finished image should be indistinguishable from high end professional architectural photography of a real completed home
