About these images
The scenes on this site are original 3D illustrations, and the material swatches are procedural material studies. Both were created specifically for this website to show layouts, patterns, and materials clearly.
They are not photographs of completed projects, and they don’t represent any specific home or homeowner. Colors on screen are approximate — materials should always be chosen from physical samples.
When real project photographs are added, they’ll be labeled as project photos and shown only with the homeowner’s permission.
