Mission

Architecture forms conscience

We believe that cities with their architecture are living and constantly changing organisms.

We like watching new houses and districts being built and the world around us changing. While the architecture is changing, the conscience of people is changing too. We understand that architecture bears a serious social responsibility before the society: it influences the general comfort of living and daily takes part in the formation of taste and habits of people.

By visualization, we wish to show people the important role of architecture in our life and to render the feelings and emotions created by the future object, which is being built or designed; and to do our best to draw attention to architecture and make people discuss it; as well as to make people avoid extremities in its perception when the buildings around us are either completely neglected or taken for granted or just a scene behind the window or considered from the standpoint of economical effectivity without paying due regard to the beauty, harmony or actuality of the building.


Architectural visualization as a means of a dialogue

Visualization is the best means to start a dialogue between professionals in the architecture sphere (architects, builders, developers) and people who are far from the theme of architecture. In this case, the dialogue is expressed in advertising materials, articles, presentations and support documentation. At each level of interaction, in order to form the first impression, pictures are used.

And we like to create pictures of architectural objects and, by that, to help to start an interesting dialogue, which, very often, represents one of the first steps to the realization of the project.

The studio specializes on exterior visualization and performs tasks on creating sets of pictures and animated promos completely revealing the architecture or economical potential of the real estate objects being built or designed.

    Architect, Fellow of the Union of Architects of Russia,
    Executive Director of the Bely Kvadrat architect’s bureau


    “We’ve been collaborating with Nikolay for quite a while now — he helps us visualize designs of our architect’s bureau.

    Everything is done to an accomplished standard, in accordance to project documentation and, most importantly, within the period stipulated. Nicolay works splendidly, doesn’t make raw renders and works flat out even when dealing with low-budget projects.”

    “For me as an architect, the service of project visualization is the best means to present my work most efficiently and in a workmanlike manner. In addition to other benefits, it is a huge time-saver.
    This is my first experience of cooperation with a visualization studio. Quite a positive one, I must say! Fellow architects! Just try it, and you will be most definitely not disappointed! :)

    In the end of the project I was given with magnificent visualizations. It’s only left to amaze the client!

    Thank you for your work. Looking forward to the further cooperation!”

    “The very opportunity to work with Nicolay is a great piece of luck!

    The first experience of working with Nikolay’s visualization studio has demonstrated that it’s possible to organize the design engineering process in such a way that the architect himself is freed from 3D-modeling or visualizing and can concentrate on the concept or technical aspects of his project.

    All inputs pay off straight away by saved time and astonishing quality of works!!!”
