This hospitality visualization project presents a 35-room boutique hotel in Wanaka, New Zealand, for B Group. The CGI was created for marketing, positioning the property as a welcoming base for both summer and winter holidays while communicating the client's architecture, finishes and emphasis on a more residential sense of comfort.
The street-facing hero image shows a three-storey, dark-clad building at dusk. Warm light from the glazed ground floor reveals an active dining or social space, while vertical windows, black screens, timber-toned accents and trailing greenery shape the upper facade. A passing car and blurred pedestrians bring movement to the scene and place the hotel within an active neighbourhood setting.
Behind the building, daylight and dusk views explore the long landscaped courtyard. Trees, raised planting beds and purple flowers soften the dark facade, while outdoor chairs and a central fire feature create places for guests to gather. In the evening image, warm window and garden lights reveal a dining table, people in the courtyard and an outdoor cooking counter, turning the garden into an inviting social space after sunset.
Showing both arrival and retreat gives the marketing set useful range. The front image establishes the hotel's public identity from the street, while the rear cameras communicate the sheltered, foliage-rich atmosphere requested for the courtyard. Together, they present a boutique property that feels lively when guests arrive and comfortably domestic once they move inside.
The visualization brings architecture, hospitality activity and extensive planting into one consistent story. Dark facade materials had to remain legible in both daylight and dusk, while warm lighting, people and carefully layered foliage helped the 35-room hotel feel intimate rather than institutional.
