Seeing the project before construction

3D visualisation

3D visualisation makes it possible to see a project before construction, compare options and communicate architectural intent clearly. We create images of facades, settings and interiors as well as animation, for our own designs and from documentation supplied by other studios or clients.

From model to credible image

Accurate geometry and an understanding of the project come first. We establish the modelling scope, key viewpoints, context and required detail, then develop materials, lighting and scene elements. Photorealism is not only render quality: the image must preserve the proportions and logic of the design it communicates.

A decision-making tool

Options for materials, colours, windows or lighting can be compared before they become expensive construction decisions. During design, visualisation helps assess form and atmosphere; in a presentation, it explains the proposal to people who do not read technical drawings. The scope is matched to the specific purpose of each image.

Inputs and collaboration

We can work from a 3D model, plans and elevations, material information or an agreed set of references. Before starting, we define file formats, views, resolution and review stages. A structured process approves camera and geometry first, then materials, light and the final character of the image.

How the work proceeds

We begin with a model — our own or one supplied by the practice. We then set the views and send greyscale previews so the composition can be agreed before materials are added. Once the views are approved we work on textures, planting and lighting, and finally deliver high-resolution images together with one round of revisions.

What is needed for a quotation

To prepare an offer we need plans and sections or a three-dimensional model, the number of views expected, and whether the work covers exteriors, interiors or both. Examples of images with a similar character also help — they establish the expected level of realism and mood before work begins.

Uses: sales, approvals, decisions

Visualisations serve the sale of flats and houses before they are built, the presentation of a scheme to a council or heritage officer, and straightforward decision-making by a private client. Each use calls for a different emphasis — a sales brochure needs a different level of detail from material prepared to agree the character of an elevation.

Frequently asked questions

3D visualisation — questions and answers

How much does a 3D visualisation cost?

The price depends on the number of views, the complexity of the massing and context, and whether the model must be built from scratch or is supplied. We usually price per view, with a better rate for larger packages of images.

How long does a visualisation take?

For a typical single-family house, usually from a few days to two weeks, counted from receipt of complete material and approval of the views. Timescales for larger schemes are agreed individually, allowing for the number of views and revision rounds.

What do I need to supply to start?

Plans and sections or a 3D model, information about facade and finishing materials, and the number of views expected. If the scheme has a specific location, photographs of the plot and its surroundings help place the building in a real context.

Do you produce visualisations from another practice’s design?

Yes. We work with other practices, developers and contractors, preparing visualisations from supplied documentation. We only require confirmation that the client is entitled to use the design in this way.

How many revisions are included?

As standard, one round of revisions after the final images are delivered, preceded by approval of the views on greyscale previews. This sequence limits changes at the final stage, where they are most time-consuming.

Do you take commissions from outside the region?

Yes. Visualisation work is carried out entirely remotely, so the location of the scheme is irrelevant — we work for clients across Poland. Contact and file exchange take place electronically.
