Highlights
- Unified pool and kitchen massing so the space feels intentional from every angle.
- Parallel finish options for coping and decking to keep upgrades in scope.
- A dusk render to show lighting ambience and water feature glow.

We built the 3D model from site photos, pool dimensions, and appliance cut sheets. The team reviewed option sets in one meeting and selected the premium finish package with a single revision round.
