Vacant lot to house, sited to the light.
Place a home on the lot the way an architect might draw it — sized to the parcel, oriented to the sun, sat on the existing terrain.

The problem
A vacant lot photographs as scrubland. Buyers cannot read what you are selling. Vacant-lot-to-house renders a building onto the parcel — to scale, oriented to the actual sun, sat on the actual terrain — so the lot photographs as a buildable site.
The standard
- Building footprint stays inside the parcel boundary. We will not render a house onto the neighbour’s lawn.
- Sun direction matches the photograph (timestamp + GPS). Shadows fall where the trees would have already cast.
- Setbacks honoured — the rendered building reads as buildable under reasonable zoning.
The handoff
Hi-res render plus a labeled site plan overlay so the buyer can see footprint, setback, and orientation at a glance.
Companion tools
Use this when you have a lot and want a buyer to read it as a future home. Pair with exterior rendering when you also have an architectural concept.
When Vesta runs it
Used as a one-off rather than inside a Vesta run — vacant-lot listings tend to need a single considered render rather than a sequenced job.
