The artist’s intricate, miniature cityscapes are amazing to behold. Their dream-like architecture is both magical and hopeful.

We’ve done architectural visualisation and rendering for the world’s top architects and designers.

The reason – we’re pretty damn good at what we do.

We combine technical skills with artistic flair. Want a realistic look? Then we will create a render that’s tight and precise and shows off the detail in the design.

The events that were happening on a local, national and regional scale arguably affected the way in which architects and designers started to approach not only for whom they were designing, but why:

Imagine hanging out inside a PVC bubble, moving to a town made up of construction cranes, or living in a house built with metal mesh. These are the kinds of futuristic architectural designs dreamed up during the 1960s and 1970s.

We love working with clients from the start of a visualisation and rendering project. For us, there’s no greater buzz than being involved in turning the first inkling of inspiration into a fully-fledged idea.

McNamara and Farrell are neither celebrities nor notable theorists. They are well-respected architects who, determinedly, consistently and over a long period of time, do their stuff. “It was a surprise to us to be invited,” they say, “and that’s putting it mildly.”

Creatives in every field are embracing digital tools to form new mediums of artistic expression. A recent example in the architectural world is how 3D printing technology now has the capacity to restore and recreate historic urban architecture that is under threat.

Modern cities have undoubtedly lost the architectural charm of the past. Classical ornamentation and intricate facades have been replaced with glass and steel giants that offer much less character.

From New York to Shanghai, coastal cities around the world are at risk from rising sea levels and unpredictable storm surges. But rather than simply building higher seawalls to hold back floodwaters, many builders and urban planners are turning to floating and amphibious architecture — and finding ways to adapt buildings to this new reality.

Raftlike homes and buoyant buildings may be a fix for rising sea levels.

Using architecture as the starting point we create fresh, innovative visuals that bring the mood and atmosphere of a space to life. We produce work that effectively communicates both the scheme and key messages of the design without compromising on the beauty and integrity of the finished piece.
