From breathtaking residential designs to cutting-edge commercial spaces, these projects not only showcase our expertise but also embody the passion and dedication of our talented team. Join us on this visual journey as we revisit the highlights that made 2023 a truly exceptional chapter in our studio’s history.
Top 10: Hayy Al Sharq Development in Oman
A perfect example to show AIMIR’s capability to handle large-scale projects. Hayy Al Sharq is a mega-development by the local government in Muscat, Oman. The site covers a vast area of 1.5 million square meters. There will be various clusters on this land, including a theme park, wildlife and water parks, an equestrian center, and an edutainment center. Besides, this development includes retail, recreational, accommodational, and dining facilities. For such a huge project, we helped our client create 29 still visuals to represent their visions. As last, the 3D renders were used for project references and marketing. And this mega development is expected to complete and open to the public in 2024.

Top 9: Shelson Distillery in Michigan
Industrial design is often considered complex and difficult. It may encompasses the architectural, engineering, and functional aspects which needs high professionalism, which we’ll talk about today. A distillery project in the United States sees how our commercial rendering services accelerate the work. As you can see in the realistic renders, this structure is a 3-story building featuring 65,000 sq ft. production area and 30,000 sq ft. commercial spaces. After learning the professional structure rules and local commercial tastes, our 3D team brings the future distillery to life with vivid materials, vibrant activities, and infinite imagination.

Top 8: Longhua District Commercial Zone Competition in Shenzhen
There is no way not to include this project in our Top 10 list. As a shortlisted plan in the International Architectural Design Competition for Shenzhen Longhua, our 3D architectural renderings are a powerful and supportive tool. We’re proud that three still images and a five-minute animation were completed and delivered within ten days. Located in the core area in Shenzhen, China, Longhua is a megadevelopment zone and in this plan, the key element is the “urban network structure”. In our visuals, the bright mood and dynamic atmosphere demonstrate how a non-vehicle city is interacting with various spaces of arts, recreations, nature, history, greening and people.

PWC Offices is welcoming the new proposal. The site is located in a privileged location, in Maroussi, Athens, Greece, and is to be certified according to the international LEED and WELL standards as it will meet all sustainability requirements. The buildings share a unique twisting structure holding each other as a cylinder. In order to support the architect’s vision, our 3D artists created the aerial view and street view visuals of the realistic future office structure in the local community. The buildings blend into the surrounding environment and at the same time add a new view to the local skyline.

Top 5: Secoya Apartment in California
This is a project where you can see the photo vs. 3D renderings. This apartment is open to home buyers in the end of 2022. And in 2023, our client gave us the permission to reveal the renders to public. This 8-story apartment in San Diego features 100 units and all necessary amenities for residence. To support our client’s addressing of practical consideration such as zoning regulations and building codes, our 3D team created three visuals for this project. At last, the project was approved quickly and the construction went smoothly with the help of 3D renders.

Top 4: Villa Interior Process
领英推荐
This is a special project because no location or other information was disclosed. And this project is solely a demonstration project because our client asked to create process images for each stage with the site photo provided. That is to say, we need to create the model from scratch based on the photo and provide model, material, lighting, rendering, and post-production images. Thus, this is the perfect project to demonstrate AIMIR’s capability of modeling and rendering.
Top 3: Tower of Africa
Prepare to be astonished as we unveil the hidden marvels residing in the third project, Tower of Africa. This project is still in design phase, but the awe-inspiring design hides behind the photorealistic renderings. The incredible towers will be built in Nigeria. With a biophilic design, five towers emulate local rock formations and connect to nature. During the process, our talented 3D team worked tirelessly to capture every nuance of the design and present it in the most vibrant and compelling manner possible.

Top 2: Drummond Residence in Alabama
As we reflect on the past year, our second spot goes to a project that goes beyond visualization – it pushes the very boundaries of what we thought possible in architectural rendering, offering a glimpse into the future of design. Introducing Drummond Residence, an incredible luxurious mega mansion in the United States. You can learn how our 3D team recreate this Cape-Dutch-style mansion with realistic 3D flythrough. As a result, the animation is a powerful tool for our client to persuade the owner and market on social media at the same time.

Top 1: Imperia Apartment in Canada
In the 3rd World’s Most Liveable City Calgary, Imperia stands as a new sky tower to provide luxurious lifestyle to local community. Our client used our renders for marketing purposes and achieved great sales results. As a large real estate development, our 3D rendering studio collaborated closely with our client and worked out a pre-selling advantage. These renders enable our client, the real estate developer to showcase and sell even before construction is complete. Beyond marketing, the realistic visualizations also aid stakeholders, including architects and investors, in understanding the design and layout of the luxury apartments before physical construction commences.

Bonus: Waterfront Development
On handling daily projects, our 3D team fly their inspiration by creating non-commissioned works. In this year, we’re proud to introduce this waterfront project which features a mix of urban functions. This project is a great proof of our creativity and ability to handle various projects. You can find an office, a hotel, retail, entertainment and residential spaces in this development. Therefore, we created three views including a daytime and a nighttime with the same view, and a close-up view of the plaza.
As a professional architectural rendering team, we’ll keep on getting inspired and creating more non-commissioned works.
