Client

Scope

3D visualization · Design planning · Engineering

Timeline

5 months

Footprint

1 smart-city district · 3 public review cycles

01 — Challenge

Public review cycles stalled on renderings nobody outside the design team could interpret.

Static plans and elevation drawings meant every public review started with explaining the drawing before anyone could discuss the design.

Feedback came in disconnected from any specific part of the plan, making it hard to act on before the next review cycle.

02 — Approach

PHASE 01 Research Reviewed the master plan and prior review feedback to find where confusion recurred.

PHASE 02 Visualization Built photoreal renders and walkthroughs of the district at street level.

PHASE 03 Development An interactive portal letting reviewers explore and comment directly on the 3D model.

PHASE 04 Rollout Deployed ahead of the next scheduled public review cycle.

03 — Solution

Built for the workflow

Photoreal renders

Street-level visuals that let reviewers see the district as it will actually look.

Interactive walkthroughs

Navigable 3D views instead of static renders from a single angle.

Urban planning visualization

Zoning, density, and green space shown spatially, not just in a legend.

Public review portal

Comments tied directly to a location in the model, not a page number in a PDF.

“For the first time, the public review discussion was about the design, not about understanding the drawing.”
