Eleven issues.
Visible evidence.

The reported views, source corrections and property photographs are collected here so each change can be checked in context.

Blender diagnostics use neutral lighting and may hide vegetation or neighboring structures. They are labeled separately from final browser captures. Camera angles are approximate, not registered overlays. Click any image to open its full, original resolution.

All eleven corrections were visually checked in the source and final checkpoint 69 browser review. Hidden geometry, exact dimensions and concealed garden routes remain inferred.

01

Visually verified in final review

Main stair meets the forecourt

Reported: The triangular opening at the upper end of the descending front stair needed a connection across the entire tread width.

The landing now joins the first tread and has a straight outside edge. The added paving stays behind the first tread; the low view checks for an overhang above the descending steps.

The full-width connection and outside edge were checked in source high/low views and in the final checkpoint 69 browser view. No slab overhang above the descending steps was visible in the inspected views.

02

Visually verified in final review

Lower retaining-wall base

Reported: A strip below the lower wall exposed an unfinished connection to the hillside.

The retaining bases extend into the terrain and use the exterior red finish. This view shows the exposed base around the two front niches; rocks obscure some adjoining areas.

The exposed retaining-wall base was checked in the source and final browser review. Concealed construction and terrain registration remain inferred.

03

Visually verified in final review

Recesses and ivy on the lower wall

Reported: The recess backs looked grass-filled, and foliage did not read as attached ivy.

The recesses use mineral backing. Attached ivy clusters replace the former broad tree-crown shapes at the photographed planted bays.

The mineral recess backs and attached ivy were checked in the final review. The material render shown here remains labeled as Blender evidence.

04

Visually verified in final review

Garage-side opening

Reported: A narrow accidental opening beside the interior separator exposed the spiral stair.

A short front return joins the separator to the existing facade pier. The open carport and the separate rear internal doorway are retained.

The closure was checked in source and final browser views. The broad open carport is intentional and visible in the property photograph.

05

Visually verified in final review

Pool-side wall corner

Reported: The lower side wall stopped before it met the diagonal return, leaving a slit next to the pool.

The missing wall connection is closed using the two existing wall end sections. The diagnostic hides the pool structure so the actual repair can be inspected.

The source diagnostic confirms the wall connection itself is closed, with the pool structure hidden. The final browser pool-side view was also checked.

06

Visually verified in final review

Wall projecting through the roof

Reported: The interior office arcade rose above the sloping shared roof as a white fin.

The arcade and its mouldings are trimmed below the actual roof underside while preserving the interior opening.

The source roof and final browser view were checked; the white fin is no longer visible.

Visually verified in final review

Tree and leaf transparency

Reported: Opaque rectangular leaf cards made vegetation appear as boards.

The export preserves the source leaf alpha mask. The final browser view shows leaf edges and canopy appearance, including vegetation near the entry.

Leaf transparency and nearby canopy appearance were visually checked in the final browser. The entry approach remained clear during the proximity check.

08

Visually verified in final review

Pool wall, lining and coping

Reported: The pool edge and retaining-wall proportions needed a closer comparison with the photographs.

The revised pool section includes the outer retaining wall, water-level lining and coping. Coping width, wall depth and other pool dimensions are inferred from photographs; no measured pool section was supplied.

09

Visually verified in final review

Garden stair destinations

Reported: The pavilion-side and upper garden steps needed a clear receiving surface at their ends.

The flights connect to receiving landings and graded ground. These checkpoint 67 landing details are carried into checkpoint 69. Garden destinations and concealed path continuations are inferred; the photographs do not establish their full routes.

Visually verified in final review

Hillside surface and context

Reported: Projected aerial imagery placed flat building shapes and unsuitable surface detail on the terrain.

The terrain retains its broad elevation shape while its surface uses Mediterranean soil, rock and scrub colors. The final browser overview shows the revised surface across the whole site.

House and driveway grounding

Reported: Some supports and lower walls appeared disconnected from the hillside.

The forecourt piers meet the terrain and the lower structural bases continue below the visible surface. The photographed open undercroft remains open.
