Architectural visualisation for timber home developers

Bring your project to life before it's built.

From drawings, SketchUp or a photo of the plot, we create photorealistic visuals that help your clients picture the project before it is built.

Three transformations

Three ways to make a project visible before it is built.

We turn drawings, models and ideas into images, animations and visual experiences that make a project visible before it exists.

Conceptual example: contemporary timber house set in a mountain meadow
01

The house on the real site

We show how the house will sit in its real setting: siting, light and landscape.

Conceptual example: warm timber interior with a large window onto the forest
02

Interiors with potential

We turn an empty space or a basic model into a warm, photorealistic final interior.

Conceptual example: cluster of dark timber cabins among Pyrenean pines
03

From project to campaign

Images, animations and digital assets with one coherent visual identity.

Images from conceptual examples created by nïu eik.

Before / after

From technical render to sales image

From 3D model or SketchUp capture to a photorealistic image ready to sell.

Final result: photorealistic render of Refugi Nereu at dusk with warm interior light.

Drag to compare

Same architecture.
From technical model to sales image.

We respect the geometry and proportions of the project. The work is light, materials and atmosphere.

First project

Start with a single, one-off visual project.

No monthly commitment needed. We start with a first piece or a specific visual set.

A project can include, depending on what you need:

  • Main image or hero render
  • Integration of the house into the site
  • Visualisation of one interior
  • Variants of light, materials or styling
  • Animation or short clip
  • Adaptations for web, presentations or social

Every project is different.

We work from your existing material, commercial goals and project scope. Send us what you have and we'll suggest the best way to begin.

From render to campaign

One project,
four formats that sell.

The same initial material becomes one coherent visual system: image, motion, social and sales.

  1. 01Hero render

    A main image with soul.

    We enrich the base render with the light, planting and atmosphere the project deserves.

  2. 02Cinematic animation

    A short clip that makes the space felt.

    Smooth 10–20 second motion with music and editorial pacing, for social and presentations.

  3. 03Social carousel

    A story in 5–8 pieces.

    Posts, carousel, stories and covers that work together and are ready for campaign.

  4. 04Sales image

    A clear visual for web and landing pages.

    Hero, project section and a short sales argument — ready for the sales page.
