How a building gets put up

Every image that reaches the sales suite comes out of one single scene. Here is that scene being built, and the walkthrough that comes out of it.

Inside the walkthrough

Four moments from interactive walkthroughs we have delivered, recorded while they were being used. Looping, no sound. Hover over each one to see it large.

Geometry

The model, before the light

Before there are materials and sun there is a geometry, and everything else comes out of it. It is what shows how the building sits on the plot, and how each floor is laid out.

How we work

One single scene for every piece. That is what keeps the light and the materials consistent across the image, the film and the walkthrough.

  1. 01

    One single scene

    Image, film and walkthrough come from the same place. The light is the same in all three.

  2. 02

    Real surroundings

    The terrain and the neighbouring buildings are the ones that are there, not an approximation.

  3. 03

    The light of the place

    The right sun for the orientation, the latitude and the hour worth showing.

  4. 04

    Human scale

    A figure at scale in the shot, so the massing reads as a building.
