Brandwork for our next (Covid-delayed) Boutique Cinema project. Taking a heavy dose of inspiration from Art Deco Cool and the quirk of Wes Anderson.

Sometimes clients don’t realise the amount of wo

Sometimes clients don’t realise the amount of work that goes into creating our photo realistic CGI renders. We start first with our 2D CAD designs, coming up with our design vision. We then direct our 3D modeller with enough information and creative direction to turn our 2D design into a white ‘clay model’, perfecting the camera angle and nailing the interior architectural details and forms first, the bar, the joinery, the flooring, wall and ceiling details. Only when they are perfect do we then start filling the scene with furniture, decorative lighting, accessories and finishing touches, but still in the clay model, without any colours or textures. Then we move onto applying the finishes, the fabrics, upholstery, tile patters, wood grains, metal effects and patination. The final piece of the puzzle is to set the mood via sunlight, daylight and lighting. Considering beam angles and windows and orientation of the sun within the venue. For our decorative wall lights, table lamps, floor lamps and ceiling lights we set the lux levels to create a beautiful atmospheric layering of light, to show the effect we want to create in the real space when it’s constructed. These CGIs are so essential in helping communicate the design vision to the wider project team of Contractors, Lighting Designers and fabricators, to show them the production values and premium results we expect from the physical manifestation of our design. 3D visuals are also the perfect way to refine the final palette choices before issuing the finished materials and FF&E specifications and control books. Sometimes we make last minute different design decisions based on how things look in these renders. Putting the chosen floor or wall tile or fabric in situ to see if it really works, and swapping out choices where we think we need to add a pop more freshness or a bit more contrast.

Here is a behind-the-scenes creative process video of a render we did last year. This is for our next boutique cinema, which was postponed due to the pandemic.

Huge thanks as ever to our modeller @gmagierowski for the awesome work.

2/2.

A modern retro colour palette and a stylish logotype with multiple variants, with the river Avon represented by a minimal line weaving its way through. A geometric illustration that incorporates many aspects of Avonside, including the architecture and heritage building’s heritage as an old dairy factory.

Check back here for further updates as the project develops over the coming months. Case study now live on our website.

1/2

We were recently tasked with branding a former Dairy Factory on the banks of the River Avon in the heart of Wiltshire.

Our clients, Create, have ambitious plans for the project, to turn the reinvented Avonside into the town's new creative quarter, by introducing a fresh approach to what a ‘workspace’ will be in a post-Covid world.

The Engine Room is a stand-alone workspace nestlin

The Engine Room is a stand-alone workspace nestling behind the main Junction building, created as an individual Company HQ. Featuring a double-height atelier style ground floor space and large kitchen, with a stylish mezzanine office on the floor above. The dark painted building is bathed in light internally, designed with an industrial luxe finish to marry with Junction, but with character and personality of its very own. Our interior design team collaborated with Dunmoore’s super creative head honcho @jeffreyhobby to bring the space to life.

The reception area for our workspace project, Junction, from Dunmoore. Featuring a mid-oak chevron wooden floor, blackened steel skirting, bespoke designed crittall doors and rotating screen dividers. Vintage, antique ironwork mirrors and the unearthed original terracotta ceiling tiles. A company directory board made of individual lightboxes. A nice place for visitors to wait, or tenants to have informal catch ups or make phone calls.
