Architectural visualization for a project in New York, NY

Architectural visualization in New York

Where the context around the building matters at least as much as the building.

Working in New York

Planning context

New York review is dense: zoning resolution, and for many sites landmarks review or a ULURP process with public testimony attached. Context accuracy is not a nicety here — an image that misrepresents an adjacent building will be corrected in public, on the record.

What gets built here

Infill on tight lots, adaptive reuse of pre-war stock, and interiors where the view out of the window is a substantial part of the asset being sold. That last point drives cost: the outlook has to be built from real context, not composited from stock photography.

Who commissions it

Architecture practices, developers marketing pre-construction condominiums, and brokerages whose listings compete on imagery before anything else.

One thing we get right here

In dense Manhattan conditions almost no light is direct — it arrives bounced off the building opposite, carrying that building’s color with it. Rendering a mid-block interior with clean neutral daylight is the giveaway.

FAQ

New York questions

Do you work on projects in New York?

Yes — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Hudson Yards and across NY. Architectural visualization is a studio discipline, not a site-attendance one: we work from your drawings, survey and site photography, so the studio's location has no bearing on the result.

What do you need to start a New York project?

Elevations and a floor plan are enough to begin. A site plan with a north point matters more here than most people expect, because it is what makes the sun angles real rather than decorative.

How much does it cost?

Exteriors from $950 and interiors from $850, quoted at a fixed price with scope and a delivery date before anything starts. All prices in USD.
