3D Rendering allows us to visualize the design in its context, giving our clients a realistic perspective. A better visual experience results in more informed decision-making on behalf of both the client and the designer.

Teak lounge chairs and a portable bowl fire pit accent this multi-toned, round shaped, sunken wood deck design. The primary view from the deck is to the forested yard, and ultimately, the lake beyond.

With an inset, grass border along the front next to the railing, this terrace uses elements of the natural surroundings to compliment the concrete tiles. There are two lounge areas, one with chaise lounges and the other with a three piece couch set and outdoor coffee table.

Surrounded by existing flora and high trees, the steel beam framed house sits perched on a slope above the lake. Because of the 10 foot height of the building above ground level, it is flood proof.

Architecture Imaging

Architecture Imaging

Architecture Imaging, a.k.a. Architecture Visualization, is a way to help the building owner, designer, or architect to visualize their plans for whatever project they’re working on.

Without architecture visualization, the client will have the unduly difficult task of making visual sense of 2 dimensional plans.

Architecture visualization commonly takes many forms, such as sketch-like 2D renderings, black and white or color 2D renderings, and 3D realistic renderings or architecture models in digital or real life formats.

The most common form of imaging nowadays is the digital 3D format, which can be very ‘model’ like, representing physical architecture models made from cardboard and/or plastic, or they can be digital models that look very realistic, often looking like an actual photo of the building or landscape.

We at DPS design focus only on digital representations of architectural and landscape design. Out digital products range from sketch-like renderings to very realistic looking 3D image mockups.

Decisions by clients as to which fomat they prefer often depends on their budget and time allowance, but can also depend on the way they prefer to visualize a project – what makes the most sense to them visually.

Overall, the process of architecture visualization can be a lengthy one, because once seen, a designer or building owner client may make multiple changes to the design – in which case a new rendering must be done.

DPS Design works in an iterative process, keeping our clients visually informed on every step of the design process. This way of approaching design is very efficient and gives the client many options, including the option to change their mind about the design. It also is very good for building trust and solid communication.
