A Saturday sneak-peak behind-the-scenes.
Here at FoxCatcher Designs, we prefer design which is hand drawn, personal, and grounded. We like to use materials that are real, products that can actually be sourced, and finishes that we can get a sample of. It’s important to us that the designs we present to our clients, and put forth into the world via digital drafting, can be achieved in reality.
But in 2026, we can’t keep our head stuck in the sand either. AI is here, and with its many faults, also come some pretty great uses in the world of design.
The recent renderings you’ve been seeing are a great example of this. All of the geometry, the applied finishes and colors, are hand drawn from our personal libraries to match the exact specifications the builders have provided. FoxCatcher Designs then creates its own rendering in-house before utilizing the features of artificial intelligence to populate vegetation and add elements of photorealism.
Check out the examples of “before & after” below! While much of what you see in the “after” image can also be achieved by hand, many contracts don't allow enough time or expense for that level of detail to be achieved traditionally. So with a bit of help from AI, and a keen eye to make sure our original geometries and colors are not lost, we can provide that next level of detail to our clients within their budget.
As with anything FoxCatcher Designs produces, a striking output starts with a high quality input. And we take the time to make sure our model and its specifications are up to the task in-house long before we task AI to kick things up a notch.
Do you like what you see? Drop us a line and see how we can assist you in providing high quality renderings based on your real-world designs. We offer rendering packages from single exterior elevations like the ones you see here, to full custom walkthroughs of the exterior and interior to showcase your work to your clients.
And of course, if you're in need of your own white-glove design service, creating your dream home from the ground up, FoxCatcher Designs is the partner you’re looking for.
