Projects on Ariel Marin — Architectural Visualization

Hillside Residence

Sun, 10 May 2026 00:00:00 -0300

The house steps down the slope in three volumes, and the imagery had to make that movement legible: how the roofline follows the terrain, how each level opens to a different layer of the canopy.

We worked from the architects’ BIM model, rebuilt the terrain from survey data, and developed a restrained material palette — board-formed concrete, blackened timber, large glass planes. The lighting concept centers on two moments: low warm sun cutting through the trees, and the blue hour when the interior reads as a lantern.

Atrium Interior

A triple-height void organizes the building’s public life. The brief asked for images that communicate scale without losing warmth — a balance handled mostly through lighting temperature and the density of entourage.

The vertical format was essential here: the signature image looks straight up through the void, compressing all three levels into a single frame.

Courtyard House

Competition deadlines compress everything. This set — three exteriors and one interior — was produced in five days, from a clean SketchUp volume to final boards.

The images lean on strong shadow patterns from the pergola and a single, consistent time of day, which kept the set coherent and the review cycles short.

Riverside Office

Developer marketing work with a clear goal: the building had to feel inevitable in its context. We matched drone photography of the site, calibrated the camera and sun to the shoot metadata, and composited the tower into the real riverfront.

Pendant Lamp Study

Sat, 14 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0300

A self-initiated exercise in restraint: a single spun-aluminum pendant, rendered under thirty different lighting setups. No post-production allowed — every image had to work straight out of the renderer.

Studies like this feed directly back into client work; half of my go-to studio lighting rigs came out of this series.
