The Reserve on the Erie Canal, Brighton, NY
This is the second in a series of two posts sharing the interior renderings done by CastleView 3D of the Clubhouse at The Reserve, a new residential community being built by Anthony J. Costello & Son near the Erie Canal in Brighton, New York. You can read Part I here.
Part I showed renderings of the spaces on the main floor of the Clubhouse, and today’s post will share the spaces on the ground floor as well as some views of the balcony and pool area.
Interior renderings – ground Floor
After descending the spiral staircase from the main foyer down to the lower level, off to your left will be a lounge area with pool table. At the end of the hall is the Wine Cellar. Each Reserve resident will have a private wine locker, and the space can be used for wine tasting events or private parties. [click each image to see full-size interior renderings]
Next door to the Wine Cellar is a 30-seat Movie Theater, which can be used by residents for watching movies, sporting events, or other televised shows.
At the opposite end of the ground floor hallway are the Fitness Center and its related amenities. The equipment room and connected Yoga/Pilates Studio are supported by a fully-staffed fitness team for instruction and personal training.
Across the hall from the Fitness Studio is the Spa, containing a hot tub, sauna, steam bath, and massage studio. The Men’s and Women’s Locker Rooms are located adjacent to the Spa.
The Fitness and Spa areas have large windows looking out onto the Pool and Outdoor Recreation Areas. CastleView 3D did a series of renderings of these spaces; however, due to some later design changes, the client ended up not using these images for their marketing. However, I’m sharing them here (even though they’re not really “interior renderings”) to give a more complete picture of the great outdoor spaces, including a pool, hot tub, waterfall, outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, gas firepits, and multiple seating areas, including the Grand Balcony overlooking the pool and the Erie Canal from the main floor of the Clubhouse.
For a great overview of the entire development (including some of these interior Clubhouse views), watch this wonderful flyover animation created by Gary Jacobs.
The Reserve on the Erie Canal is an ambitious project that has been in the planning and approval stages for 7 years, so it is exciting to see it finally underway. All the planning has really paid off in terms of attention to every detail. I was honored to work with this very talented team of architects and designers.
CastleView 3D will also eventually be creating interior renderings of five model homes in The Reserve, so I’ll be sharing those as well once they are completed.
Technical notes on this project: The Clubhouse interiors were modeled by CastleView 3D in Chief Architect X5 from the architect’s plans. The exterior models were created by the landscape architect in Sketchup. All exterior and interior renderings were completed using Thea Render.
Does The Reserve sound like a place you’d like to live? They’re now accepting lot and loft reservations! Call (585) 272-6500 for more information.











Kathleen,
More wonderful renderings. Especially the wine storage. The lighting and mood are A-1. Where did the wine storage units come from?
Was the video done with Lumion? I’ve been doing animations with Kerkythea
trying get a handle on it.

Thanks again, Richard. The wine storage lockers are simply regular glass-front cabinets with the glass replaced with a wire grid and storage racks & bottles added (here’s the cabinet that was spec’ed, which I recreated for the rendering: http://www.hayneedle.com/sale/winelocker.cfm#).
I had nothing whatsoever to do with the video, except that the artist used my interior renderings of the Clubhouse for that section of the video. I believe it was done with 3dsmax and vray, but I couldn’t swear to that. Lumion does look very powerful and I will probably give it a try eventually. A colleague is going to write up a review of it that I hope to post here soon.
