I visualized the courtyard space for an ongoing apartment building construction project in Seattle using stylized vegetation and hand crafted props.

Made for a landscape architect, the aim was to present his whole vision for the space, while while maintaining a “concept sketch” feel — too much realism could mislead clients into thinking the design was nearing completion cause them to focus on unimportant details.

I started by crafting stylized base leaf textures for each plant species.

These leaves were mapped onto planes, grouped into clusters, then combined into trees with simple trunks.
