I believe changes should enhance beauty, but try to maintain historical integrity. if a building is at risk of being torn down and changes can be made to save it, then do it. if appearances can be altered by landscaping then that's the best. if changes are to preserve go for it. just my feelings on it.

Is this serious? IF [and that's a big if] this was real then obviously there would be odd size humans using it considering so many of the objects are not even close to being in proportion to other items and the [room] as a whole. I absolutely love that you can make these wonderful 3D images and they certainly have their place in design etc. However I cannot stand how real estate agents use 'fake' furniture etc in their photographs to sell a house - instant turn off!

Is the pic of the house attached to this discussion exterior rendered in Taubmans pebble bay?

It's an excellent render if it is. My main reasoning behind thinking it's real is the soft drape of the curtains and the way they gently bunch up on the floor. Also, a sight view of outdoor furniture and flowers on the countertop. These are details that make me think it's real. Kudos if it's render because it's very good.
