In front of the building we placed two planes with bitmaps.

We also placed some 3d trees models by the side of the building.

Trees bitmaps in front of the building.

Two bitmaps - one of them is trees image and the second is a mask. Mask is needed to enhance light that comes from behind the trees. Simply put: black areas have lower opacity, thanks to that the light can penetrate bitmap easier in these areas. The result - trees are darker, sky behind them is lighter. This "HDR" effect couldn't be achieved with a single VrayLight material.

Post-production - camera 2. Above RGB layer we have a slight chromatic abberation layer that affetcs only edges of the image. We have subtle vignette above, then harpening of the center of the image. Curves and levels layers give more contrast correction, hue/saturation layer takes down "greens" slider. Above is specular layer and a layer that enhances spotlights. the last layers enhance soft light, reflection and give a small bloom around ceiling lamps.

Post-production - camera 1. Post-production is very similar to the second camera, except from two top layers. Scatter layer gives more light coming from the window and top frame makes the ceiling a bit darker.

To be honest - those tiles were made for visualization so we cannot provide information about manufacturer, sorry :/
