Explain Your Design With Animation
As one of the top architectural animation studios, we help architects and developers, including Emaar and Gensler, transform their projects into signature animations.
High-end rendering services help you move beyond stills
Most architectural presentations today still behave like photo albums: they document space, but they struggle to tell a story. All visuals follow a predictable path, room after room, leaving the viewer, or jury, with information but nothing else. When you design with values and human experience, static imagery and video flythroughs often feel like a mismatch. As architectural renderings become more standardized, they no longer set your company apart, and clients now expect more to understand the depth of your concept.
Architectural animation that sells the story
When comparing rendering services, animations, and architectural visualization companies, budget and complexity are typically the deciding factors. Yet in practice, a well-crafted film can replace dozens of slides, static imagery, and explanations, while serving as a pitch tool, competition entry, press asset, and social content at the same time. High-end animations don’t just present a project; they build your reputation. So the question is no longer ‘Can we afford animation?’ but rather, ‘How much visibility, revenue, confidence, and credibility are we losing without it?
We partner with real estate developers and architects to deliver high-end architectural visualization, 3D rendering services, and signature animation for competitions and sales.
What ‘Signature Animation’ really is
Instead of relying on a sequence of empty rooms and stock music, we populate spaces, use pacing, visual metaphors, 2D motion design, and sound to express what your project stands for. The result is a piece of cinema that explains your architecture.

FAQS
What do I have to provide to start a project?
To begin a visualization or animation project, we need your 3D model, or drawings if a model isn’t available, plus a clear brief outlining mood, materials, and priorities. To make this simple, we use a proven framework that helps you structure all the critical input right from the start. Our team of qualified architects interprets this information, updates or refines models if details are missing, and ensures we capture your intent correctly.
What file formats do we work with?
We can seamlessly handle raw 3D files from all major architectural design software, including Rhino, Revit, Archicad, AutoCAD, and SketchUp. You don’t need to worry about export settings—we take care of the entire process. Our workflow is always tailored to your project, ensuring that future geometry updates are smooth and efficient. Our team is also prepared to model additional elements. For masterplan projects with less-refined massing models, we can quickly generate fully detailed building blocks thanks to our in-house tools and a wide range of architectural façade presets.
Do you work with both architects and developers?
Yes. We support both architects and real estate developers worldwide. For architects, our visuals are used in competitions, pitches, and design reviews. We’ve collaborated with studios such as Gensler, Snøhetta, UNS, and Zaha Hadid Architects to create competition-winning renders. For developers, our animations and content help sell listings faster, attract investors, and generate leads trusted by clients like JLL, CBRE, Compass, and Emaar. Our long-term partnerships prove that animation-led storytelling supports both design culture and the property market.
How does the Impression Package work compared to traditional workflows?
Traditional workflows across the industry often take weeks, with 3–4 feedback rounds for a few final images. Our Impression Package eliminates this: after one detailed briefing, we deliver up to 15 high-quality renders in just five days. These cover aerials, interiors, lifestyle shots, and close-ups, giving you a wide selection to use immediately. Instead of micromanaging revisions, you get more content, faster, at a better price point. It’s a fast-track system designed for pitches and tight deadlines.
Can you help with competition submissions?
Yes. Many of our most recognized projects were created specifically for competitions. We know how international juries evaluate proposals, and we design visuals that highlight clarity, concept, and atmosphere. Rather than focusing on hyper-polished renders, we create compelling imagery that supports your story. Our experience with Shigeru Ban, Snøhetta, UNS, MVRDV, and MAD Architects demonstrates that smart visualization plays a key role in winning approvals and recognition.
How much advance notice do you need for a competition?
Ideally, we’d receive your final model 1 week before the project starts. From there, we typically require 2 weeks to develop renderings, produce multiple sketches, and refine the final outputs. However, with a 30-person team and the capacity to manage 40–50 projects concurrently, we’re able to react quickly—delivering high-quality visuals that elevate your jury presentation.
What is the best way we help your project visually?
We help by shifting your presentations from static renderings to motion-led storytelling. Instead of two or three perfect renders, we provide diverse content packages: animations, cinemagraphs, and branded videos. These make your project more relevant, understandable, memorable, and persuasive. Architects and developers consistently tell us their meetings run smoother when animations do half the talking.
How much do renderings or animations cost?
Renderings typically range from €1,000–€3,000 per image, depending on complexity, level of detail, and deadline. Animations vary more widely because they involve storyboarding, motion design, VFX, 2D graphics, and editing. For competition entries, we often assemble streamlined packages that fit tight timelines and budgets. Marketing projects are generally priced according to the number of images and the animation’s length and complexity. For large-scale developments, a fully produced animation is quoted individually.
Can you prepare a cost estimate before we start?
Yes. Once we understand your project’s size, deliverables, and deadlines, we prepare a transparent, modular estimate. This way, you know exactly what you’re paying for, whether it’s a single image, a competition package, or an animation. Our proposals are designed to give you flexibility, so you can adjust the scope as your project evolves.
What is the typical turnaround time for projects?
A single rendering usually takes about one week. For a complete package with multiple renderings, the process is typically 2–3 weeks, depending on scale and complexity. Animations require more time, usually 4–8 weeks. Across all timelines, our workflows are built to balance speed with consistent quality.

3D Renderings
For every image you request, we create two sketches to provide various options for your desired composition and mood. Images form the base of most architectural presentations and property campaigns, appearing across various mediums and platforms, from small brochures to digital advertising. We not only offer fresh ideas and different perspectives but also run experiments to improve your final presentation.
Our project managers are also skilled interior designers who can handle both project management and interior design. If your project lacks a pre-existing plan, we create moodboards featuring suggested furniture, lighting, and colors to help you showcase your interior spaces. With thousands of renderings delivered—from Dubai to New York—spanning everything from luxury rooms to sports arena interiors, we have a deep
understanding of diverse markets and contemporary styles.
During our work with top architectural offices, we developed a new system called the “Impression Package” to create fifteen high-resolution images for a single project within one week. Tell us everything about your project, and five days later, you’ll get a package of high-quality renderings that covers everything from eye-level compositions and interior views to aerial shots, lifestyle images, and close-ups to fully showcase your project.
With 3D floorplans, we create detailed representations of flats and buildings to clearly showcase and visualize their layouts, highlighting the functionality of each room and the overall flow of the interiors. These representations emphasize their interior possibilities, allowing potential buyers to envision how the flat can be utilized and furnished. This tool is extremely uselful in helping clients better understand your space and making it easier to communicate the full potential of your project.
3D Animation
If you aim to rise above your competition, our Signature Animation is designed for you. Tailored for high-profile developments and challenging architectural competitions, it showcases projects in a unique way through a film that goes beyond the basics. It focuses on creativity and originality with a concept-driven approach supported by VFX and 2D motion graphics. Though it comes at a slightly higher price point and requires a little extra in production time, the result is a distinctive film that captures your audience and delivers your message with unimpeded clarity.
Standard Animation is a high-quality, cost-effective solution to showcase your project in motion. It covers all the essential elements necessary for an impressive presentation, including 3D animated scenes, aerials, beauty shots, and an engaging intro/outro. The production is streamlined, offering fast delivery, but we can also choose to enrich your animation with options such as drone tracking, narration, and stock footage, creating a more engaging result that holds people’s attention.
When people see movement, it grabs their attention more than an image would. Even a short animation can draw focus to the details or features you want to highlight. Cinemagraphs are images that contain loopable moving elements. Completing your website or keynotes with them can significantly enrich the visual experience your team provides. They create a more engaging and memorable impact, whether used on Instagram or integrated into your communication elsewhere.
Interactive
Bring 360º VR experiences to your audience for residential or office projects, allowing them to explore your plans in an interactive way. Let your buyers step into a room or flat, explore every corner, or take a virtual stroll through a garden to truly feel what living there would be like. Incorporating VR into your communication is a powerful way to engage people on a deeper level, making your projects memorable through the 360 experience.
