3D visualisation: see how it will look
Not everyone finds plans easy to read. With 3D models, renderings and walkthroughs, we show how a building will look in its light, its materials and its surroundings, long before construction begins. This helps you make decisions with more confidence and win others over more easily.
Decisions based on what you see, not on paper
A good visualisation answers questions that a floor plan leaves open: how does the afternoon light fall into the living room? Does the clinker brick go with the timber? How does the building look from the pavement? To answer them, we build a digital model that grows with the design, from simple massing studies to photorealistic images.
Our visualisations are created by the same team that does the design. That is why they do not just show attractive pictures, but the building that can actually be built.
What visualisations are used for
For clients
Judge rooms, proportions and materials while changes are still easy to make.
For marketing and investors
Images for property brochures, sales meetings and financing documents, before the first photo can be taken.
For competitions and committees
Compelling images for competition entries, design review panels and political committees.
For neighbours and the public
Clear images that show how a new building fits into its surroundings.

Frequently asked questions about 3D visualisation
Do I need finished plans for a visualisation?
No. We can start with sketches and initial floor plans and develop the model further as the design progresses. The more precise the plans, the more detailed the images become.
How many rounds of revisions are possible?
Revision rounds are a fixed part of the process. We agree together at the start of the project how many make sense.
Which formats will I receive?
High-resolution still images for print and web and, on request, animations as video as well as virtual walkthroughs.
