Premium 3D rendering and visualisation
in Adelaide

Ask how the studio handles stone. Historic Area and Character Area overlays in the statewide Planning and Design Code cover much of the inner suburbs, so an addition in Norwood, Unley or North Adelaide is judged on how it sits beside the villas and cottages around it — bluestone, sandstone quoins and red-brick dressings that locals read at a glance. Those materials should be built from photographs of the house itself, so the junction between old and new is judged on the design rather than on a texture that does not match.

Ask how it reads the season. Adelaide is one of the driest capitals, with hard, clear summer light and a pale, sun-bleached landscape for much of the year; a lush green lawn in a February image tells a local buyer it was made elsewhere. Hills sites have their green winters and coastal sites their bleached summers, and both should come from site photographs.

Ask for the scope in writing. Ours spells out each view, how many revision rounds are included and when the images will be delivered, and one senior artist is responsible for every image from the first model to the finished set.

The kind of project is the biggest variable. A character-home addition needs a street view in which the new work sits quietly behind the retained front, and a garden view that can show it as confident new architecture; a townhouse or apartment project on a main corridor needs to show how a taller building steps down to the houses behind it, as well as the light and outlook buyers ask about.

Scale is the second. Greater Adelaide is planning for 315,000 new homes over three decades under the state’s March 2025 regional plan, and the new communities on the northern and southern fringes are sold through aerials, display homes and streetscapes long before the streets exist. The masterplan is built once and every stage and view rendered from it, so later views cost far less than the first.

Adelaide projects receive a written fixed price, scope and delivery date included, before any work begins — normally within two business hours — and we take no deposit from registered businesses.

South Australia sets out what a development application must contain in the Planning, Development and Infrastructure (General) Regulations 2017. For planning consent for a new building or an extension, the required plans include a site plan, a floor plan and scaled elevation drawings showing each side of each proposed building, with existing and proposed ground levels, internal floor levels, ceiling heights, eave and ridge heights, and the measures that will give upper-floor windows and balconies their privacy.

Larger projects go to the State. The State Planning Commission is the relevant authority for development in the City of Adelaide where the work, across all stages, exceeds $10 million, and for buildings over four storeys in zones the Planning and Design Code identifies. ODASA's State Design Review, a voluntary pre-lodgement service, informs the Government Architect's advice to the State Commission Assessment Panel. Its guide asks for visualisations that convey a proposal's key aspects, reflect the immediate streetscape and long views, and include people for scale.

The same guide calls honest, accurate and consistent visualisations, tied to the plans and sections, critical to communicating the design intent to the panel. That is how we build them for Adelaide projects: from the elevations being lodged, at true scale, from the streetscape and long-view positions the panel will look at, with people in frame so the height and proportion can be read against the drawings.
