Working in the Southern Highlands
Aurum Render is based in Sydney and works across Australia, and the Southern Highlands is one of the 14 cities and regions it covers.
Planning context
The Southern Highlands is Wingecarribee Shire, planned under the Wingecarribee Local Environmental Plan 2010. Bowral, Mittagong and Moss Vale have heritage conservation areas, and Berrima, which Council describes as the last largely intact Georgian town on mainland Australia, sits within its own landscape conservation area. Work in these areas is judged on how it fits its setting.
What gets built here
Country houses and estates on acreage around Bowral, Burradoo and Exeter, Federation and interwar cottages in the towns, Georgian sandstone in Berrima, and new homes, cellar doors and farm buildings across the rolling countryside.
Who commissions it
Architects and builders of country homes, owners turning weekend properties into permanent homes, and winery and hospitality operators.
One thing we get right here
The Highlands is cool-climate country: deciduous trees, clipped hedges and established gardens that change completely with the seasons. A Bowral garden rendered in evergreen coastal planting, or an autumn scene without the colour, is wrong to anyone who lives there.
Typical Southern Highlands projects
Country homes on acreage
New houses and rebuilds on rural and acreage lots, where the approach drive, the garden and the view across the paddocks sell the design. Aerials and eye-level views show the house in its landscape at true scale.
Heritage-area work
Extensions and new buildings in the conservation areas of Bowral, Mittagong, Moss Vale and Berrima, where the question is how new work sits beside the old. We model the neighbouring buildings from photographs and show the proposal exactly as drawn.
Wineries and hospitality
Cellar doors, restaurants and accommodation set among vines and gardens, marketed on arrival and outlook. Seasonal images show the property at its best time of year.

Choosing an architectural visualisation studio for a Southern Highlands project
Ask how the studio prepares for heritage review. The Highlands is Wingecarribee Shire, planned under the Wingecarribee Local Environmental Plan 2010; Bowral, Mittagong and Moss Vale have heritage conservation areas, and Berrima — which Council describes as the last largely intact Georgian town on mainland Australia — sits within its own landscape conservation area. Work there is judged on how it fits its setting, so the views belong at a person’s eye height from the public view, with the neighbouring buildings modelled from photographs and the proposal exactly as drawn.
Ask how it renders the seasons. This is cool-climate country — deciduous trees, clipped hedges and established gardens — so the season should be agreed at the start: spring blossom, full summer green, autumn colour or bare winter branches, with deciduous and evergreen planting each behaving as it really does.
Get the terms in writing. Our quotes set out the views, the number of revision rounds and the delivery date, and the same senior artist builds and finishes every image.
What drives the cost of visualisation in the Southern Highlands
Landscape is the biggest variable. A country home on acreage around Bowral, Burradoo or Exeter is sold on the approach drive, the garden and the view across the paddocks, which calls for aerials as well as eye-level views at true scale.
Context is the second. An extension in a conservation area needs the neighbouring buildings modelled from photographs, and a cellar door or restaurant marketed on arrival and outlook may want a seasonal set. Further views and seasons from the same scene cost a fraction of the first.
A Highlands project receives a fixed price, with its scope and delivery date, before anything starts — normally within two business hours — with no deposit for registered businesses.
Published prices: exterior and interior stills from $1,000 per image, aerials from $1,900, film from $6,500 per finished minute, photomontages from $1,500 per view and interactive tours from $3,000. All prices exclude GST. See pricing or ask for a fixed quote.
FAQ
Southern Highlands questions
Do you work on projects in the Southern Highlands?
Yes — Bowral, Mittagong, Moss Vale, Berrima and across New South Wales. We work from your drawings, survey and site photography, and match the light, materials and planting to the place.
Can you show a new home in a heritage conservation area?
Yes. We build the street or the surrounding buildings from survey and photography and render the proposal from the public view at a person’s eye height, with materials, roof forms and setbacks as drawn.
Can you render the garden in a particular season?
Yes. We agree the season at the start: spring blossom, full summer green, autumn colour or bare winter branches, with deciduous and evergreen planting each behaving as it really does.
Do you work across the Highlands villages?
Yes — from Mittagong and Bowral to Robertson, Exeter, Sutton Forest and Bundanoon. Acreage and village sites are each rendered in their own landscape.
