Visual Development and Project Visualisation
Apart from bringing our partners' designs to life we are able to provide original artwork, for the visual development and concept design of any theming, set design, or marketing/event project. Furthermore, using state of the art digital imaging techniques and 3D CGI software we are able to photorealistically visualise any asset or entire project, in order to save time, estimate cost and communicate our and our partners' vision and ideas before the actual construction begins.

We are able to manage and supervise the entire set design production process from start to finish, or any stage separately depending on our clients' and partners' requirements. This includes the design, visualization, budgeting, manufacture, painting, construction and installation of large and smaller scale sculptural assets and projects.
