# Ridge-lightwell visual review

Opened all eight original `reference_lodge_ref-*.png` images and actual generated
exteriors and interiors. The reference qualities sought here were a clear roof
hierarchy, secondary roof volumes, coherent openings, sheltered entrances and
usable warm interiors. No reference program was run or copied. These are actual
Minecraft block renders, not generated illustrations or beauty claims inferred
from passing tests.

## Final inspected selection

Every row has front, rear and side views plus ground-floor, loft, stair-circulation
and lightwell cuts: **42 inspected images**. Complete paired originals are in the
[sample manifest](../../samples/building-lantern/release/manifest.json); camera
angles, export-local cut coordinates and source paths are in the
[render manifest](render-manifest.json). Full original geometry/metadata, not the
slices, was validated and round-trip checked.

| Input | Exterior / reverse view | Interior / actual well | Findings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lantern house, structure 0/environment 0 | [Front](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-0/front.png), [rear](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-0/rear.png), [side](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-0/side.png) | [Floor](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-0/interior.png), [loft](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-0/loft.png), [stairs](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-0/circulation.png), [well](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-0/lightwell.png) | Tall rear wing, wide sheltered front, seven-cell lantern. Lower dormers remain beside the lantern; actual opening reaches the lit roof room. |
| Lantern house, structure 1/environment 1 | [Front](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-1/front.png), [rear](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-1/rear.png), [side](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-1/side.png) | [Floor](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-1/interior.png), [loft](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-1/loft.png), [stairs](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-1/circulation.png), [well](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-1/lightwell.png) | Larger room bays and compact five-cell lantern. Roof/room junctions stay closed and stair openings guarded. The square room rhythm remains conspicuous. |
| Lantern house, structure 7/environment 7 | [Front](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-7/front.png), [rear](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-7/rear.png), [side](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-7/side.png) | [Floor](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-7/interior.png), [loft](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-7/loft.png), [stairs](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-7/circulation.png), [well](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-7/lightwell.png) | Asymmetric rear occupancy, clipped roof end and a seven-cell lantern. Repeated heavy horizontal framing still dominates some elevations. |
| Existing hall, structure 0/environment 0 | [Front](../../previews/building-lantern/release/hall-0/front.png), [rear](../../previews/building-lantern/release/hall-0/rear.png), [side](../../previews/building-lantern/release/hall-0/side.png) | [Floor](../../previews/building-lantern/release/hall-0/interior.png), [loft](../../previews/building-lantern/release/hall-0/loft.png), [stairs](../../previews/building-lantern/release/hall-0/circulation.png), [well](../../previews/building-lantern/release/hall-0/lightwell.png) | Shared addition works on a lower existing composition. Well opens into a library loft with benches, shelves and actual hanging lights; remaining floor is generous. |
| Pair 3, structure 6/environment 7103 | [Front](../../previews/building-lantern/release/wet-pair-3-6/front.png), [rear](../../previews/building-lantern/release/wet-pair-3-6/rear.png), [side](../../previews/building-lantern/release/wet-pair-3-6/side.png) | [Floor](../../previews/building-lantern/release/wet-pair-3-6/interior.png), [loft](../../previews/building-lantern/release/wet-pair-3-6/loft.png), [stairs](../../previews/building-lantern/release/wet-pair-3-6/circulation.png), [well](../../previews/building-lantern/release/wet-pair-3-6/lightwell.png) | Three-bay low front and compact lantern, with upper rear wing. Frozen water/ground remain visible; local approach is grounded. This unlandscaped contact fixture is not a finished waterside village. |
| Lantern house, structure 2/environment 2 | [Front](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-2/front.png), [rear](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-2/rear.png), [side](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-2/side.png) | [Floor](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-2/interior.png), [loft](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-2/loft.png), [stairs](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-2/circulation.png), [well](../../previews/building-lantern/release/lantern-house-2/lightwell.png) | Additional view of an already assessed input, chosen to show lower, wider massing and nine-cell split glazing. Long lantern and lower dormers make the broad front roof more legible; the facade and roof still have large repeated areas. |

The predeclared five examples remain. Seed 2 was added when the three initially
selected new-client seeds all showed tall two-bay frontage. Its export has the
same semantic digest as the assessed seed 2; it is excluded from additional
input counts. The extra views disclose more structural contrast without
replacing an unfavorable result.

## Corrections made through shared rules

Development renders are retained. The first lantern was too solid at its base
and had undivided long glazing. The shared `GlazedPanel` now lowers its sill and
splits long elevations into independently owned window bays. The cap remains
small relative to the roof; supports use the actual measured surface.

A coarse initial mounting envelope suppressed a lower dormer. After the failed
fit regression was recorded, separate body/cut and high-cap envelopes plus a
surface-derived dormer height bound allowed compatible neighbors. The final
cutaways show the result: real open wells, retained lower dormers, connected
beams, enclosed roof rooms and unobstructed stairs. Neither a larger permission
grant nor a deleted validator was used to achieve this. Thin chains can pass
through a well in the documented daylight model; actual room lighting is still
required independently.

## What remains below the references

Roof articulation improved, but these buildings still use regular 9/11/13 bays
and fairly uniform storey heights. Broad continuous roof surfaces, repeated
window rhythms and heavy beams produce a more rigid result than the references.
Interiors contain functional stations, fireplaces, beds/shelves and protected
routes, yet central floor areas often remain sparse. Gardens lack the references'
layered terraces and dense, irregular planting; rectangular plots are visible.
The wet fixture intentionally has no composed garden, so it cannot stand in for
an attractive completed landscape. Rendering itself has simpler lighting than
the reference presentations. The geometric and compositional gaps remain even
after accounting for that renderer difference.

No floating joint, blocked required route or unclosed weather boundary was seen
in the selected complete buildings; actual validators and damaged-geometry
tests provide the separate functional evidence. Forty-two views are a finite
inspection sample, not proof of beauty or validity for every supported input.
