Phimai Gardens designed by Raise Group and located in Tulum, Mexico.

This is a rendering of Kloof Road House designed by Nico van der Meulen architects located in South Africa. This project was very inspiring and motivated me to model it and make a visualization.

I came across a photo of this view a few years back and recreated it using tools I wanted to explore such as the Substance suite. The main structure was modeled in Sketchup and then imported in 3ds Max for detailing. Some of the objects are scanned assets from Quixel megascans but most of it was custom modelled, including the foreground plants using Grow Fx. After the rendering process I tried to get as close to the photograph in post production, making some of it directly into the V-Ray Frame Buffer, then using Camera Raw and some individual elements later on in usual Photoshop.
