Residential / Architectural Visualization — 2013 · Fule Badoe

Fule

Courtyard render: square stepping pads set in grass lead to a white outdoor dining set under an open timber pergola, with ivy trained up a boundary wall at the left and cylindrical lights mounted on it.

Eight architectural visualization plates from 2013 for a private duplex in Accra, made by RDVS. Design: bedroom, kitchen and living room interiors in warm oak and pale neutrals, then the street and courtyard exteriors.

The commission was a private duplex whose architecture and interiors were credited to a separate design team, leaving RDVS. Design to produce the 3D visualization. The set reads as a walkthrough: it opens inside, where the material palette carries the argument, then works out through the courtyard and around the perimeter to the street gate.

Outside, the house is a white rectangular volume with deep timber louvre screens and a slatted boundary wall. Two plates give the frontal elevation straight on and at an angle from the road, while a courtyard scene stages the same language at closer range: stepping stones set in grass, a timber pergola, ivy on a boundary wall and cylindrical wall lights.

Interiors stay warm and low-key: pale oak flooring, veneered wall panelling, concealed cove lighting and a restrained palette of brown, grey and off-white. A bedroom shows a low bed against a wood panel under strip windows; the sitting rooms run two storeys high, with a glazed roof lantern over a dark sectional and a relief-carved feature wall.

All eight frames carry the same corner stamp, a FULE wordmark over a small studio credit, which keeps the set together as one deliverable. Three of them were rendered square, the garden view, the overhead sitting room and the living room, so they hold up as standalone images as well as pages in a presentation sequence.

The project was published as FULE — RDVS. DESIGN; the full set is on Behance.

Bedroom render: a low bed with brown linen on a grey rug, a full oak panel behind the headboard, pale plank flooring, a floor lamp and chair by the window, and cove light washing the ceiling.

Overhead render into the sitting room: a dark grey L-shaped sofa around a low white table, a relief-carved feature wall at the right, and a sunken planted bed of orange flowers beside a glass balustrade.

Kitchen render: handleless pale cabinets with a run of timber-fronted uppers and frosted glass panels, a patterned splashback, a tall stainless fridge at the right and two white stools at the island.

Double-height living room render: a glazed roof lantern over a dark grey sectional, white coffee table and grey rug, moulded white chairs in the foreground, brick wall at the left and oak panelling with framed art.

Angled view from the road of the white two-storey duplex behind a low wall topped with timber slats and a black metal gate, driveway apron in the foreground, a street lamp and trees at either side.

Head-on street elevation of the same facade: a long white first floor with recessed loggias behind the slatted boundary wall, gate piers at both ends, a lawn strip and a lamp post in front.

Square-format garden render: the side elevation with a band of dark glazing, a timber pergola shading a paved terrace at the left, and stepping stones crossing a green lawn toward the camera.
