Westerman Homes – House Styles

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

We’ve been asked to produce a couple of illustrations of house types for Westerman Homes’ marketing agency, which was nice. Here we have the Malvern and Bourne types, roll on the rest we say!

Cape Verde Revisited

Friday, December 18th, 2009

We’ve completed three projects to date for developments on Cape Verde. This project was a week turnaround revisit for one of those developments, currently being built by the Resort Group. Additional props were added to the existing images we’d produced, and extra splashes of colour, ready for the launch of their new brochure in the New Year.

Lodge Park – Nettleham

Lodge Park - NettlehamAnother CGI stroke graphic design job for a client. This time we had an aerial shot in which to composite our CGI buildings – we do love this sort of thing! We only had building footprints from which to work our magic, so we made some buildings up after a brief from the client, used materials to complement the surrounding existing buildings and produced a brochure we’re very happy with.

St Martin’s Renovation

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

There’s a beautiful building in Leicester called St Martins. For a while it has been a school, but recently it has been acquired by a local developer who have grand plans for the 200 year old building, and all tasteful. We were asked to produce three different style of interior to illustrate potential uses for prospective buyers. We had great fun with the window detailing.

The project started with a site visit, armed with tape measures and cameras we scribbled down every important dimension. Then back at the hutch we used the architect’s drawings and our dimensions to build the interior accurately so we could place tables and chairs, showing our client what was possible in the space they had.

St Benedicts RC School Living Accommodation

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

This building is an independent living centre for the blind and partially sighted pupils at St Benedict Roman Catholic School . The colours have been chosen for their high-contrast and the construction materials are chosen for their sustainability. Wood Newton, the designer and developer of the units, installed this free of charge for the school. It’s great to know there are people out there like this – hats off.

Derby University Interior Ideas

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

The hutch inhabitants were called upon by a new client to help them pitch for the makeover of a portion of Derby University. The mere mention of glass and reflections made us dribble on to our keyboards, so we were in. The new keyboards are on their way :P

City Office Park – Lincoln

City Office Park

Another project where albino igil carried out the CGI for the front cover and the graphic design for the brochure. Have we told you we can juggle as well?

We’re so wasted.

House Makeover – Brittania Court

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

At the time of visiting this existing development you could be forgiven for thinking that they were a bit on the ugly side – a 1970′s/80′s set of apartments next to the River Derwent in Derby. But having worked with the architect in charge of the makeover I have to say we’ve fallen in love with these apartments. They are definitely unique and will look fantastic when finished!

Cape Verde Development

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Another client but the same group of islands. albino igil were brought in to help finish this project by another company, who supplied us the house models and the island. Our remit was to finish texturing and lighting the project, populate the environment and produce the final animations. We also needed to model the interiors and pop some animations out of those as well.  There’s nothing better than staring at sunny pictures all day in the middle of March…

Draka Building CutawayOur client needed a quick building cutaway to show off their wares (cabling). Two days later we delivered on time. As a good friend keeps telling us, there are 24 hours in the day :)
