The bustling city of London is home to numerous academic institutions, many of which require modernisation to meet contemporary educational needs. A construction company recently sought to refurbish a school academy to enhance its learning environment while preserving its charm. Engaged in this pivotal project, Charles Roberts Studios was tasked with creating striking interior and exterior CGI visualisations that would elevate the contractor's bid. We aimed to provide stunning visual representations that communicate the academy's transformative vision.
Before initiating the CGI production process, our team met with the construction company to discuss their vision and objectives for the refurbishment. We focused on understanding the school's existing state and the proposed changes envisioned by the contractor. By analysing architectural plans and requirements, we identified key areas that needed emphasis in the visualisations, ensuring we captured their vision's essence.
With a clear understanding of the project, our team worked on developing interior and exterior CGI visualisations. We began by gathering high-quality photographs of the existing school academy. This reference material proved vital when recreating the environment in a digital format, allowing us to accurately depict the existing architectural features while highlighting the proposed enhancements.
The interior visualisations aimed to showcase how the refurbishment would transform the learning spaces. Our talented 3D artists crafted detailed models of classrooms, corridors, and communal areas. We incorporated realistic textures, lighting, and furnishings using advanced rendering techniques to bring each space to life. We ensured that every visualisation reflected modern design principles while creating an inviting atmosphere for students and teachers.
For instance, the art room featured new storage solutions and creative workspaces to inspire student creativity and collaboration. These interior depictions were crucial in portraying how the refurbishment would facilitate a more engaging and effective learning environment.
In parallel with the interior visualisations, we created stunning exterior CGI representations of the school academy. These images showcased the architectural enhancements planned for the building's façade and surrounding grounds. We ensured that the visualisations captured the academy's new identity by incorporating elements such as improved outdoor play areas, attractive landscaping, and modernised entrances.
To emphasise the transformation, we used our innovative CRS Reveal before-and-after sliders. This feature allowed viewers to seamlessly switch between the academy's existing state and the proposed design. This interactive element engaged stakeholders and clearly illustrated the refurbishment's extent, making it easier for decision-makers to envision the academy's future.
Throughout the CGI production process, collaboration with the construction company remained paramount. Regular feedback sessions allowed us to refine the visualisations, ensuring they accurately represented the contractor's vision and intentions. We incorporated changes based on their insights, striving to align our outputs with their expectations while maintaining the project's original design integrity.
Our flexible workflow enabled the contractor to suggest adjustments during various stages of production. By fostering open communication, we strengthened our partnership and produced CGI visualisations that surpassed their initial expectations.
After fine-tuning the visualisations, we packaged them into a compelling presentation for the construction company to use in their bidding submission. Alongside our CRS Reveal before-and-after sliders, we produced high-resolution images and a dynamic video walkthrough highlighting the proposed changes.
These assets would be powerful tools in the contractor's bid to win the refurbishment project. By effectively visualising the academy's transformation, we helped the contractor convey the impact of their proposed changes, instilling confidence in stakeholders about the value of the refurbishment.
In summary, Charles Roberts Studios successfully produced interior and exterior CGI visualisations that vividly illustrated the potential of a school academy refurbishment in London. By integrating innovative techniques such as the CRS Reveal sliders and maintaining a collaborative approach with the contractor, we created impactful visual narratives showcasing the academy's transformative vision. This project exemplifies our commitment to delivering high-quality CGI solutions that resonate with clients' aspirations and meet their bidding needs.
