the room
A quiet room in Glen Head, blinds half-drawn so the monitor keeps true colour. The only sound is a fan and the render node ticking over.

$450 buys one exterior, lit at dusk.
Send a dwg and a rough idea of the hour. We send back your front door at 6:40pm: wet slate, glass holding the last orange of the sky, a porch lamp just switched on.

01 — the studio
what happens behind the blinds
the file
Your dwg arrives as flat black line on white. We give it weather: wet slate, cedar going silver, a gutter holding rain.
the eye
Every frame is lit by hand. We park a sun that doesn’t exist until the shadow under your eave falls where a real one would.
the handoff
Stills arrive as large, quiet files. Walkthroughs arrive as a short film that plays on a planning-board laptop without a loading wheel.
02 — the approach
the price comes before the pitch
3 kinds of frame
Exterior stills, interior stills and walkthrough animation. Buy one, or fold them into a single package.
$450
The entry price: one exterior still, one camera angle, one hour of the day, two rounds of changes.

04 — start a project
start with whatever you’ve got
“A drawing set is a promise. A render is the first time you can stand inside it.” — the studio, 7 Summerwind Drive
- cad files
- DWG, DXF, RVT, SKP or IFC. Plans, elevations and a section if you have them.
- sketches
- A phone photo of a hand drawing works. Pencil smudges are fine.
- materials
- Brick, siding, roof and window brand — or a photo of a swatch on the tailgate.
- the site
- A street-view grab or drone photo, and which way is north.
- the date
- The hearing, the pitch or the open house. We plan backward from it.

05 — the rail
the long way from line to light
- day 0
files in
You send the dwg, the rvt or a photo of the sketch. We open it and write back within one business day with questions.
- day 1
the model
Walls, roof and massing rise from your lines. The camera sits at 5′6″, the height of a visitor at the gate.
- days 2–3
light
Brick gets its mortar, glass its reflection. The sun is parked at the hour you chose.
- day 4
first look
A rough, slightly grainy preview lands in your inbox. Mark it up in red; we change it.
- day 5
delivery
Clean, large files, plus the walkthrough if it’s in the package. Ready for the board, the listing, the buyer.
Typical pace for a single exterior still. Interior sets and walkthroughs run longer, and we say how much longer in the quote.
06 — before the first file
questions architects ask us first
Do the drawings have to be finished?
No. A schematic plan and a rough elevation are enough for a first exterior. We flag what we’re assuming — roof pitch, window mullions, cladding — so you can correct it in the first look.
Where can I use the images?
Anywhere the project is shown: planning submissions, client decks, listings, your own portfolio and social. Delivered files carry that usage with them.
What if the first look misses?
Every package includes rounds of changes, two on the stills and three on the full walk. Missed the mark on materials or the hour of light? Say so in red pen and we rework it.
Can you work with a builder outside Long Island?
Yes. The studio is in Glen Head, NY, but the work is remote: files and notes by email, a call if it helps. Weekdays 8am–7pm at (917) 568-4520.
