3D exterior rendering of a two-story modern farmhouse with black gable framing and a stone chimney, by Aurum Render

Architectural 3D rendering in Park City

A silver-mining town turned ski capital, where Old Town’s miners’ houses and Deer Valley’s mountain homes are reviewed very differently.

Working in Park City

Park City is one of the 31 US cities Aurum Render works across.

Planning context

In Park City’s historic districts, the Planning Department reviews Historic District Design Review applications against the Design Guidelines for Historic Districts and Historic Sites, and the Historic Preservation Board protects the town’s mining historic. The Planning Commission decides conditional use permits and master planned developments; outside city limits, in the Snyderville Basin, Summit County reviews.

What gets built here

Small miners’ houses on steep, narrow Old Town lots, the historic storefronts of Main Street, slope-side mountain homes and ski-in, ski-out residences at Deer Valley and Park City Mountain, and contemporary homes across the Snyderville Basin.

Who commissions it

Architects and builders of mountain homes in Deer Valley and the resorts, owners renovating and adding to historic Old Town houses, and developers of resort residences and lodging.

One thing we get right here

Park City sits in dry, high mountain country — sagebrush and scrub oak on the sunny slopes, aspen and conifer on the shaded ones — and the air is clear enough that the Wasatch ridgelines stay sharp for miles. A render with lush green lawns and soft haze reads as somewhere much lower and wetter.

Typical Park City projects

Old Town historic houses

Additions and renovations to miners’ houses on Old Town’s steep lots, where design review asks how new work relates to the historic house and the street. We model the slope from survey, keep the historic house exactly as it stands, and show the addition at true scale from the street.

Deer Valley and resort homes

Mountain homes and ski-in, ski-out residences at Deer Valley and Park City Mountain, where stone, timber and glazing frame the slopes. We build the terrain from elevation data, so each room’s view of the runs and the ridgelines is the one it really has.

Resort residences and lodging

Condominium, hotel and residence projects at the resorts, sold on location, amenities and views. One accurate model serves the planning review and the sales campaign.

Choosing a rendering studio for a Park City project

Ask how the studio prepares for Historic District Design Review. In Old Town the Planning Department reviews applications against the Design Guidelines for Historic Districts and Historic Sites, and the question is how an addition relates to a small miners’ house and its street — so the house, its neighbors and the slope should be modeled from survey and photography and shown from the street at eye height and true scale.

Ask how it handles slope and climate. Many Old Town houses step a full story across the lot, so the view from the downhill neighbor is often the one that matters most. Park City is dry, high country — sagebrush and scrub oak on the sunny slopes, aspen and conifer on the shaded ones — and a render with lush lawns and soft haze reads as somewhere lower and wetter.

Check what is fixed before you commit: the views, the number of revision rounds and the delivery date, all in our written quote, with one senior artist carrying the work throughout. For a resort project, one accurate model can serve both the planning review and the sales campaign.

What drives the cost of rendering in Park City

Terrain is the biggest variable. Deer Valley and resort homes sit on terrain built from elevation data, so each room’s view of the runs and the ridgelines is the real one; an Old Town addition needs the survey-accurate slope, with the historic house kept exactly as it stands.

Scope is the second. Condominium, hotel and residence projects sold on location, amenities and views need more scenes than a single addition. Each image is set in the season it is for, from deep snow to aspen gold, and every further view or season from the same scene costs a fraction of the first.

A Park City project is quoted at a fixed figure, with the scope and delivery date, before anything starts — usually by the next business morning. There is no deposit for registered businesses.

Published prices: exterior and interior stills from $1,200 per image, aerials from $2,400, film from $7,500 per finished minute, 3D floor plans from $750 per plan and interactive tours from $3,500. See pricing or ask for a fixed quote.

FAQ

Park City questions

Do you work on projects in Park City?

Yes — we produce 3D renderings for projects in Park City, Old Town, Deer Valley, Snyderville Basin and across Utah. We work from your drawings, survey and site photography, and match the light, materials and planting to the place.

Can you prepare imagery for a Historic District Design Review?

Yes. Design review in Old Town turns on how an addition relates to a small historic house on a steep street, so we model the house, its neighbors and the slope from survey and photography, and render from the street at eye height and true scale.

How do you handle Old Town’s steep lots?

From the survey. Many Old Town houses step up or down a slope that drops a full story across the lot, so we build the grade accurately and show the house from the street above and below — the view from the downhill neighbor is often the one that matters most.

Do you work in the Snyderville Basin and Heber Valley?

Yes — the Snyderville Basin, Kamas, Heber City and the wider Wasatch Back. Each image is set in the season it is for, from deep snow to aspen gold, on the lot’s real slope.
