Take a Luxury Model Home Virtual Tour

Luxury home virtual tours offer prospective buyers a first-person view of our gorgeous mansions and properties . At IS Luxury, we use the latest three-dimensional and VR technology available to create the most immersive, interactive experiences possible. Each luxury home 3D tour goes beyond still photographs to make you feel like you walking through each elegant space.

Ways To Enjoy Your Luxury 3D House Tour

Begin your convenient mansion 3D tour in dollhouse mode. This allows you to view the property from above or the side with all walls removed. You can gain new perspectives on the space, size, and proximity of each room in the house. Click on bubbles throughout the “dollhouse” to gain access to special views of unique spaces, vistas, alcoves, and more.

You can also view a classic floorplan, providing a perfect bird’s eye view, with the roof and ceilings removed. Unlike traditional floorplans or blueprints, this unique perspective features actual photos of the space. It is a more authentic way to engage with the property that would be impossible without the aid of technology.

During the tour, you can use the floor selector tool to toggle between floors of the house. Try using the floor selector while in both floorplan mode or dollhouse mode for a new view of the property.

Taking a 3D House Tour of a Luxury Property

The most compelling element of your mega mansion 3D tour is moving throughout the space as if you’re really there! While in floorplan or dollhouse mode, simply click on any location. You’ll immediately find yourself in the middle of the mansion, ready to explore.

You can click and drag anywhere on the screen to look around. Remember, it is a 3D tour, so you can explore the floors and ceilings, too. Move about the space by clicking on the dilute circles in each room. Each one grants you a new point of view, allowing you to enjoy the luxury home from a different angle.

Be on the lookout for a variety of icons, which offer more interactive ways to engage with the space. These include 360-degree views of outdoor spaces, photo galleries, and more.

Not only does a 3D tour of a framed home provide a unique look into how we utilize advanced framing techniques, engineered wood products like engineered studs and floor joists, and steel beams for increased structural integrity, but it also helps our project managers and trades locate electrical, plumbing, and framing features in the wall after the sheetrock has been installed. This reduces guess work, mistakes, and expedites decision making when needing to locate an item behind the sheetrock.

A Passion for Mid Century Modern - the Homes

Palo alto eichler klopf architecture.

Architecture: Klopf Architecture Builder: Coast to Coast Construction Landscape Architect/Design: Disceli Photography: Mariko Reed

Klopf Architecture completely remodeled this once dark Eichler house in Palo Alto creating a more open, bright and functional family home. The reconfigured great room with new full height windows and sliding glass doors blends the indoors with the newly landscaped patio and seating areas outside. The former galley kitchen was relocated and was opened up to have clear sight lines through the great room and out to the patios and yard, including a large island and a beautiful walnut bar countertop with seating. An integrated small front addition was added allowing for a more spacious master bath and hall bath layouts. With the removal of the old brick fireplace, larger sliding glass doors and multiple skylights now flood the home with natural light.  

The goals were to work within the Eichler style while creating a more open, indoor-outdoor flow and functional spaces, as well as a more efficient building envelope including a well-insulated roof, providing solutions that many Eichler homeowners appreciate. The original entryway lacked unique details; the clients desired a more gracious front approach. The historic Eichler color palette was used to create a modern updated front facade.    

Durable grey porcelain floor tiles unify the entire home, creating a continuous flow. They, along with white walls, provide a backdrop for the unique elements and materials to stand on their own, such as the brightly colored mosaic tiles, the walnut bar and furniture, and stained ceiling boards. A secondary living space was extended out to the patio with the addition of a bench and additional seating.    

This Single family Eichler 4-bedroom 2 – bath remodel is located in the heart of the Silicon Valley.    

Forest City Eichler Klopf Architecture

Contractor/Builder: Keycon Construction   Landscape Architect/Design: Eleizer Napoles Structural Engineer: Sezen & Moon Structural Engineering, Inc.   Photography:  Sabrina Huang

Joseph Eichler developed his moderately priced houses for the mass-market starting in 1949. His homes were designed using affordable materials and simple construction techniques. Nearly 70 years later these homes are in need of updating and remodeling an Eichler home today can become an imposing and costly project if you’re not careful. For this project the clients, who had undergone several previous house renovations, were determined to stick with an established budget from the beginning. Klopf Architecture helped them modernize their Eichler with a premium appearance on a reasonable budget.   

The clients challenged the Klopf team to create a design that had a high-end feel and nicely done while adhering to their budget. That meant not all the initial project scope could be built. Like many other Eichler homes, the original floor plan did not meet the family’s needs leaving them feeling disconnected from one room to another. While an early goal was to expand the house into a carport and create a larger garage, it did not survive the contractor pricing phase of the project.  

The goals that did survive through to the end of the project included blurring some of the boundaries and opening up some of the spaces, making them more functional and creating a smoother flow in the house. The Klopf team joined the former separate kitchen and formal living room into one large space and shift the dining room where it is now connected to the kitchen. Klopf swapped the family room to the front alongside the living room, so the spaces feel more cohesive and are now better suited for family activities. The functional layout of the master bathroom was changed to include a large, curbless shower.  

Installing a complete IKEA kitchen including cabinets, countertops, appliances, light fixtures, and furnishings was key to staying within budget. Bath fixtures in this house are also exclusively IKEA. Klopf Architecture has designed many homes using IKEA products, which are quite compatible offering an affordable, contemporary take on Eichler homes. The clients saved additional money from the simplicity and availability of IKEA products and by orchestrating the orders and purchases themselves. Following each construction meeting, the clients would make a run to IKEA and purchase items, pick up needed spare parts, and bring them back right away to stay ahead of the contractor’s schedule and minimize the chance of delays and bottlenecks.  

Klopf balanced material selections by retaining some of the original woodwork and simply refinishing the mahogany paneling. They were able to retain the original windows and sliding doors which were still in good shape, avoiding some of the costliest replacement expenses. Additionally, interior doors were simply refinished, and the exterior siding cleaned up and repainted. Formerly dark interiors are now illuminated with new slimmer semi-recessed lighting eliminating the need for costly roof work.    

Attention to design details allowed the Klopf team to ensure the house ended up with a high-quality feel. Key visual elements were strictly aligned and Klopf worked with the clients to select a unified materials palette throughout the spaces, so the house flows seamlessly together. Aligning the tile layout with the trusses and keeping it level with the concrete slab outside allowed them to achieve a level of quality that may otherwise be missed.  

The clients were able to keep their budget on track by determining clear goals and making critical decisions upfront, choosing materials and furnishings wisely, working with the right design and construction teams in place and to a large part, their willingness to participate throughout the process. In the end the clients were much happier with their reconfigured Eichler home and Klopf Architecture managed to keep their remodeling costs to about $325/sf – a good amount below the average Bay Area Eichler remodel.  

9 Wilder Lane LJStudio 209

Developer: New Century Modern Architect: Studio Gunn Contractor/Builder: Novak Construction Specialty Firm 1: Precision Media Lighting: Colorado Concept Lighting

Wilder Lane is  brainchild of   Curt Stedron   of   New Century Modern   h omebuilders. This innovative development in the suburbs of Denver, CO, features 24 individually unique homes that bring back the tradition of true mid-century modern style with 21st century design and construction. The development has its roots in the first modern communities dating back over half a century to the 50’s, when home builders acted on an “impulse to build in harmony with the progressive social, technical, and aesthetic promise of Modernism” (David Fixler, Hipsters in the Woods ).

Two Wilder Lane homes will be featured in this virtual home tour. The first is a perfect Mid-Century Modern home with an open floor plan and an abundance of ceiling volume and natural light. The interior space showcases an outdoor courtyard which features soft seating and fire pit table. The home features 2210 square feet on the main level with a large basement with two bedrooms and a large work-out area benefiting from the 12-foot ceilings. The home also features an art studio used by the owner,  Lance Jackson . Jackson has collected mid-century furniture for our 40 years and 9 Wilder Lane offers the perfect stage for his passion for design. A designer, business strategist, and abstract painter for more than four decades, Jackson’s own highly sought original artwork also features prominently throughout the home. 

For Lance Jackson, dramatic, original art, classically designed furniture and an abundance of natural light are all essential. He selected all of the home’s finishes, lighting, and colors to visually integrate the home and create the perfect environment for his art and furniture collection. He designed the outdoor area to augment and compliment the gallery-like interior of the home.  Featuring bronze sculpture by Kevin Robb, the courtyard reinforces the inherent partnership between contemporary architecture and contemporary sculpture. 

9 Wilder Lane lives like a gallery and feels very much like home.

19 Wilder Lane The Roybal Corporation Architects

Architect: Roybal Corporation Architects Developer: New Century Modern Kitchen and Bath: Mountain High Appliances Millwork: JK Concepts Lighting: MH Lighting Windows: Weather Shield

LET THERE BE DAYLIGHT! The beauty behind the Mid-Century Modern (MCM) architectural vernacular is comprised of several unique characteristics, but none more essential than the introduction of daylight and the connection to the outdoors. The Roybal Residence bravely captured this concept by utilizing a classic Butterfly Roof that introduced clearstories and daylighting into every living space throughout the entire house. Consequently, the interior of the house is bathed with daylight and established a direct connection with the expansive sky that reflects the myriad of time of day and seasons of the brilliant Colorado skies.   

While you are in the house, the deep connection with the outdoors provides for an ever-changing interior landscape. In the winter season, the overhang was calculated to allow for the warmth and penetrating sunlight to heat the interior and provide for a feeling of warmth and comfort. In the summer, the deep southern overhang protects the harsh direct sunlight from penetrating into the living space, thereby creating a cool and temperate living space.  

The home was ideally situated on the site to allow for all the living spaces and kitchen to be oriented to the southeast and southwest. An expansive covered patio is ideally positioned to create an indoor/outdoor experience in any weather. Large glass doors provide a direct connection to the exterior. The interior spaces are all positioned on the site and solar orientation to maximize privacy and daylight into each space.  

The Butterfly Roof created a sweeping dynamic roof line. The clean and simple lines of the house amplify the simplicity of the façade and interior floor plan. The interior of the house continues to reflect the clean modern lines of a Mid Century Modern Home. The Great Room reflects an expansive open plan with clean lines reflected in the butterfly roof structure consisting of exposed glu-lam beams spanning the entire 40 feet of the space. The interior spaces reflect a commitment to simplicity and clean architectural lines to define each space. The integration of modern furniture compliments the simplicity and cleanliness of the Mid-Century Modern era.  

We invite you to explore and experience a truly unique home that reflects to beauty and simplicity of the Mid-Century Modern era.

Just a few miles northwest of Austin, TX, nestled in the hills, is Starlight Village. This gorgeous development fuses all the excitement and flair of Mid-Century Modern architecture with 21st century floor plans and amenities. It’s the place “where Mid-Century cool meets 21st century living.

The Best Experience Ever? Here's How It Works.

We’re here to let you know we’ll be conducting our 2021 Modern Home Tour Series with a combination of in-person 360 virtual walkthroughs – see example at top – combined with realtime LIVE interactions with you, the tourgoer, the architects and designers that created these beautiful spaces, and the homeowners that live in them (if available).

What does this mean for you?   Well, a few things, actually…

• The ability to “visit” those extra-special homes that the owners might not want open to hundreds of people…
• Shorter hours and less stress on Tour day…
• The chance to revisit your favorite projects long after Tour day  to refresh your memory, look at a favorite detail again, or check out that inspiration piece when you upgrade your own space.
• Talk to the architects live on Tour day, and get answers to your specific questions as we all look at the property together.

We like the idea so much that once things are back to normal, we expect to continue using the lessons we’ve learned to make our live Tours even better with bonus content and additional virtual homes…  but let’s not get ahead of ourselves…

Step Inside Stunning Modern Mansions with 3D Tours

The world of luxury real estate is being transformed before our eyes by advanced 3D and virtual reality technology. Where listing photos and brief descriptions once left affluent home buyers guessing about the finer details of high-end properties, now immersive digital walkthroughs offer the ability to explore extravagant contemporary residences in remarkable depth – no plane ticket required.

Modern mansion 3D tours provide an interactive preview that far surpasses flipping through images or scanning bullet points. Powered by cutting-edge modeling techniques and simulations, these visually striking showcases allow you to move seamlessly from meticulously rendered room to room, appreciating the nuances of architecture and design at your own pace. It’s a paradigm shift for realtors and buyers alike – and it’s just the beginning.

How 3D Tours of Modern Mansions Work

3d model creation.

The digital replicas at the heart of 3D mansion tours are built using specialized applications for architectural visualization. Typically a home is either 3D scanned onsite to capture precise real-world dimensions, or in some cases modeled fully in software when access is limited.

Advanced computing power converts rooms, surfaces and objects into mesmerizing photorealistic detail. Everything from wall textures and lighting to accessories and electronics are rendered in lifelike definition. The resulting 3D model file comprises millions of dimensional data points perfected to emulate the true visual experience of walking through the physical buildings.

Tour Development

With a detailed 3D model in place, game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine enable developers to turn static files into navigable, interactive simulations. Coded variables allow for real-time adjustments to lighting, acoustics and more. Elements can be programmed to operate realistically – open cabinets, run appliances, control smart home systems.

The completed tours are optimized for access across platforms. Mobile apps allow convenience on the go, while VR headsets paired with hand controllers provide intense lifelike immersion. Desktop or touchscreen kiosks offer seamless in-between options. The cutting edge is near endless, expanding daily.

Unique Advantages of Modern Mansion 3D Tours

Unparalleled home previews for buyers.

For affluent buyers and investors seeking ultra luxury homes, 3D virtual access marks a new era. Floor plans , images and video feel flat compared to exploring built-in shelving, viewing backyard vistas from master bedrooms or wandering freely through garages housing exotic vehicles – no agents or awkward appointments required.

Meticulously accurate renderings allow you to substantially evaluate enormous rooms, unusual layouts and custom architectural details in a comfortable, low pressure setting. You can revisit tours online to clarify spatial questions with precision. Confidently shortlist real world showings based on virtual experiences reflecting tangible built reality. Know before you go.

Enhanced Listings and Exposure for Sellers

On the supply side of luxury real estate, 3D simulation unlocks immense possibility to showcase distinguishing high end features that photos inadequately convey. For builders or owners selling one-of-a-kind contemporary estates and mansions, personalized 3D truly elevates listing potential.

Prominently advertise rare attributes that captivate wealthy buyers – underground lounges, luxury car showrooms, private theaters, wine display walls. Lead with the intricacies that photos gloss over, then invite personalized hard hat showings to vet further.

As 3D tours permeate industry norms , refusing virtual access may soon narrow prospective interest. Take your exclusivity and enviable detailing to new visually enticing levels.

Examples of Cutting-Edge 3D Tours for Modern Mansions

Celebrity home listings.

Enter a world normally shrouded in secrecy – A-list celebrity mansions. Some high-profile examples give a taste of cinematic potential. Tour a 22,000 square foot Hamptons estate with two-story grand foyer and basement nightclub. Wander infinite hallways in a palatial European villa. Test drive a $3.4 million luxury car collection housed in its own tuned garage.

For Hollywood stars, musicians and athletes selling extraordinary portfolios, 3D virtual tours aligned with augmented showings provide elite discretion to elite buyers.

Luxury Development Model Units

On the architectural front, interactive 3D also engages buyers earlier when previewing floorplans and model units for lavish new buildings under construction. Tours fully convey the exact intended spatial flow in soon-to-exist units.

Manipulate final layouts with customizable upgrade variables – imported stone surfaces , integrated smart home tech. Initiate buyer conversations sooner by unveiling building advantages first through virtual tours, then reinforced by hard hat site visits.

Ways for Consumers to Experience 3D Home Tours

While fully immersive VR remains exclusive territory, accessible modern mansion 3D tours are reaching mainstream desktops, apps and touchscreens daily. VR headset gear optimizes interactive depth, but simpler rotation and hotspot exploration via mouse or touch brings meaningful digital access to exponentially wider audiences.

As augmented and virtual technologies converge, portals designed for phones and computers will enable brief augmented previews that transition into VR showings for serious buyers upon request. Access possibilities are expanding for all.

Current feats primarily showcase interior renderings, but soon whole estates may be navigated acre by acre at photorealism par with reality. Integrate true positional audio, visual AI and expanded sensor capability for buyers to digitally walk the grounds and environs investigating off-blueprint guest homes. Physical showings will become balanced partnerships maximizing virtual premiere potential.

In coming years, 3D simulation will permeate deep construction and design trenches as well. Complete building plans fused with interactive modeling shape clearer build communication for architects, engineers, contractors and developers before tangible groundbreaking.

The scope of interactive 3D possibility across luxury real estate is truly a blank canvas. Even in current generations the benefits are substantial and adoption is accelerating. Rest assured mansions of the future will certainly unfold virtually long before their physical forms materialize.

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties, and some of the information on our website may be incorrect. Our team is working diligently to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Avant-garde villa, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

The opposite of traditional, this extraordinary German villa resembles a spacecraft and is all sharp angles and metal. Listing agents, Sotheby's International Realty , described the place as embodying “modern architecture in its purest form,” with a “geometrically cut body” that floats “weightlessly above a glass joint.” 

Located close to Dusseldorf, the surreal spread spans 9,687 square feet and was designed to be closed off at the sides and entrance, while the back of the house benefits from endless glass, allowing the occupant to enjoy uninterrupted views of the surrounding forest landscape. Two symmetrical staircases lead from the first floor to the garden, adding to the UFO aesthetic.

Inside, the property benefits from a sleek, all-white palette and an open floorplan with a sunken lounge, dining area and kitchen. The kitchen has a glazed ceiling, allowing the cook to take in the sky while they work their magic. Upstairs, a glass bridge connects the study with the library, home theatre and three bedrooms.  

The master suite boasts a luxury bathroom, dual dressing rooms and a balcony with garden views. There’s also a basement with a wellness centre, including a large pool, steam room, sauna and whirlpool. The basement also has a private guest suite and an underground garage. Fully automated, the lucky owner can control everything from their lights to their blinds at the touch of a button but the price could be a problem  – the modern mansion is currently on sale for €8.1 million (£7.1m/$8.6m).

Designed by the architects at Saota in 2019, the enchanting estate boasts unparalleled 300-degree city skyline views, gorgeous interior design and immaculate finishes throughout.

The backyard is also home to a 15-foot outdoor television, which rises from the ground with horizontal and vertical rotation, making it visible from every single room in the house.

To ensure this, the property's developer apparently forked out over £328,580 ($400k) to have the power lines removed from the surrounding area. Talk about going above and beyond!

According to the developers, these recently completed luxury houses are "designed with meticulous attention to detail" and each one is the "quintessence of quality, replete with the latest conveniences – all just a few steps away from the glittering Crystal Lagoon."

Inside, contemporary architecture and luxury materials are mixed with cutting-edge technology and expensive modern art to attract the city's most elite home buyers.

Sleeve House, New York, USA

This incredible home in Ancram, New York, is almost too surreal to be true. Built from a combination of shou sugi ban wood, concrete and glass, Sleeve House was designed by architect Adam Dayem in 2017 and, thanks to its unusual aesthetic, the construction phase took several years to complete.

Positioned on a 46-acre sloping plot, with dramatic views of the Catskills Mountains, the house was built to slot into its surroundings. According to Realtor , the architect said the idea was to create "two elongated volumes – a smaller one sleeved into a larger – sitting on a cast-in-place concrete base." Charred Accoya wood wraps the house like a skin. As well as looking amazing, the wood sleeve acts as a waterproof, insect-proof and fire-retardant cover, ensuring the exterior will stand the test of time. The wood is also resistant to rot and decay.

Inside, the 2,500-square-foot home is split into two distinct spaces. In the larger area, which is decorated with the same timber that clads the façade, you'll find a living room, dining zone, kitchen and bathroom. In the second interior space, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. All of the rooms are sleek and contemporary, finished with exposed concrete and charred wood accents, as well as dramatic windows, soaring ceilings and statement fixtures.

As well as being ultra-modern and durable, the property is also eco-friendly, with triple-glazed windows, a solar system, battery back-up and a heat recovery ventilation system that keeps the interior cool in summer and warm in winter. Sleeve House landed on the market in September 2022 and sold in early 2023 for £1.6 million ($2m). Sold turn-key, the lucky buyer gained all of the home's high-quality furnishings, which were carefully curated to fit its unique architecture.

Monolith villa, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Over in Stuttgart, Germany, you'll find this unusual glass home. Built in 2014, the property sits on a slope and could certainly be described as a house of two halves. While the front is decorated in white render, the rear is covered in glass, allowing for amazing views across the city below.

Known as H36, the three-storey property has been described by listing agents, Sotheby's International Realty , as an "extraordinary monolith villa in the best semi-high location". Built without joints, and without additional layers of insulation, the house was formed using single-shell insulating concrete, interrupted by large glass surfaces.

Monolith Villa, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Amazingly, the home extends 20,236 square feet and boasts four bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as spacious living rooms, which impress with their high ceilings and custom window elements. There’s even a staircase that was designed as a delicate work of art, suspended from steel mesh. Yet the home's finest space has to be the master en suite...

With its concrete palette, built-in sunken tub and glass basin that's affixed to a window, it's the ultimate luxurious bathroom. Another highlight of the home is its garden floor, which benefits from a wellness area. The house was recently listed for £6.1 million ($7.4m), or a little under €7 million.

Modern coastal pad, Victoria, Australia

Nestled on the coast in Anglesea, Victoria, this impressive Australian home is moments from the iconic Great Ocean Road. Yet it is its stunning design that makes this house so enticing.

Recently listed with REA Group  for AUD$3.6 million ($2.4m/£1.9m), the property was constructed using a combination of glass and concrete, resulting in a brutalist, bunker-like aesthetic. Inside, the same materials continue, complemented by light timber floors and crisp white walls. 

Spread out over a single floor, there's a bright, open-plan living zone with a kitchen, dining room and sitting area, as well as three bedrooms and four bathrooms. Everywhere you look, you'll spot statement touches, like floor-to-ceiling concrete fireplaces, modern light fixtures and brilliant artwork.

Thanks to the home's stunning glazed gable, the occupant can enjoy wonderful views of the garden, which comes complete with a swimming pool and alfresco living and dining areas – perfect for making the most of Australia's enviable climate.

Custom-built villa, Marbella, Spain

This sharp, angular villa in Marbella, Spain could definitely be described as unique. With its unusual façade that resembles a helmet or some sort of Transformers robot, it's a luxe home fit for an eccentric millionaire. 

The coastal crib costs €11.8 million, which equates to around £10.3 million ($12.5m). For your money, you'd gain only 1,299 square feet of inside space, but there's a reason why such a modest home comes with such a hefty price tag. The residence sits on the waterfront in Los Monteros Beach, one of the most exclusive residential communities in all of Marbella.

Despite its compact size, the house still packs a punch in terms of space and design. It comes with everything you could need, including a kitchen, dining area, living room, six bedrooms and six bathrooms. Many of the living spaces open up to a large terrace with sea views, too. Surprisingly, there's also a basement with a five-car garage and a multi-purpose room that could be utilised as a gym or cinema.

Plus, there's an absolutely stunning backyard and a private rooftop terrace, where dreamy sea views can be savoured. The latter comes with a Jacuzzi pool, numerous lounging areas and dining decks for sunbathing and entertaining in style.
