Turn the attached 3D model image into a photorealistic architectural photograph. Keep the exact layout, camera angle and the position of every building, shopfront, sign, lamp post, bench and tree from the attached image. Only change the materials, lighting, weather and surroundings as described below.

Setting: a clear winter evening just after rain, deep blue sky with the first stars. The cobbles and pavements are wet and reflect every light. Camera at eye height near the north-east corner of the street, looking south-west across the square, 24mm lens.

The space: a private courtyard street called Market Row, about 34 by 28 metres and open to the sky, enclosed on all four sides by a two-storey ring of buildings. The style is Milan made modern. Ground floor, classical: honed pale limestone pilasters between the shops and a deep carved pale stone cornice running the full length of the street, with a slim bronze and glass canopy along the shopfronts, a fine warm LED line along its edge, and small uplights at the foot of every pilaster. Upper floor, modern: a crisp grid of pale Portland limestone fins and slabs with tall windows set deep into the grid in dark bronze frames; clean lines, no ornament, classical proportions. Roof: a continuous band of clerestory glass with slim bronze mullions sits on top of the limestone grid, and above it a thin, pale floating roof plate overhangs the street by nearly two metres, its edge traced by a fine warm LED line, so the roof appears to hover. The plates step up and down with the house sections, and dark slate roofs rise behind them. Shopfronts: most are slim dark bronze and tall plate glass with the shop name in cut bronze serif letters, softly backlit; six keep their own era character: The Regal (1930s Art Deco cinema), Blockbuster (1990s video shop), Trattoria Lucia (1950s Italian trattoria), Our Price (1980s record shop), Midland Bank (1980s bank) and Texas Homecare (1990s DIY store with a red lit fascia and a roller shutter). Every real chain name is in plain lettering with no logos. All the stone is calm, even and pale with no marble veining. Floor: pale granite slab pavements, a road loop in grey granite setts laid in sweeping fan arcs with pale granite kerb bands, and a raised pale granite square in the middle with a low, wide round stone water bowl, four silver birch trees and long backless timber benches on black steel legs. Slim black modern lamp posts with small rectangular heads. Copper rain chains hang into granite troughs at the four inner corners. In the north-west corner of the street, a sunken lightwell about 7 metres square, edged with a pale stone coping and a frameless glass balustrade with a slim bronze handrail, drops 4.5 metres to a planted florist's garden; at its bottom, a full-height glass wall looks into an underground swimming pool.

Light, from left to right across the far side:
- Ironside Boxing Club: slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit, warmly lit inside.
- Fletcher's Range, a narrow 3 metre front, slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit, with a lit stair leading down inside.
- Midland Bank, a narrow 3 metre 1980s bank front: deep navy fascia with MIDLAND BANK in plain gold serif capitals (no logo), a stone plinth, brass details and a round bracket clock above the door.
- Blockbuster: a 1990s video shop with a lit blue box sign reading BLOCKBUSTER in bold yellow capitals, glowing brightly.
- The Regal: an Art Deco picture house with a marquee lit by chaser bulbs, a glowing vertical REGAL blade sign, warm light in the lobby.
- On the right: Our Price, a 1980s record shop front with a white aluminium frame, a long lit black fascia reading OUR PRICE in plain bold white capitals (no logo), and a window full of record sleeves with no readable titles.
- Lamp posts glowing warm amber. The stone water bowl softly lit from below. The canopy edges glow with fine warm LED lines and the honed pale limestone pilasters are uplit. Upstairs, warm light through the deep bronze windows; above, the clerestory glass glows and the floating roof plates are traced by fine warm LED lines, with small downlights in their soffits.

Mood: cosy and alive, like a small town high street on a winter night, but private and empty.

Style: realistic night architectural photography, warm light against a cool blue sky, crisp reflections. Avoid: floodlights, neon colours beyond the signs given, snow, people, extra text, changing the layout.
