Virtual reality
Virtual reality places users inside the space and turns a presentation into an experience. We define the scope for meetings, showrooms, fairs and processes where scale and presence matter.

WHAT IT MAKES POSSIBLE
A tool to decide and inspire.
- Experience scale and proportions
- Present projects in a showroom or event
- Support decisions through direct spatial understanding
WHAT IS INCLUDED
Optimised immersive environments
Guided or explorable experiences
Configuration for each device and use
IN DETAIL
Virtual reality
Virtual reality for architecture allows a team to experience scale, depth and circulation before construction. It helps answer questions a drawing or still image may leave unresolved: how a ceiling height feels, what is visible from an entrance, or whether an interior is proportioned as intended.
Immersion with a design purpose
Before developing a VR environment, we define who will use it and why. The audience may be an architecture team reviewing the design, a developer assessing a proposal or a client encountering the project for the first time. Each situation calls for a different level of detail, freedom of movement, interaction and guidance. A technically complex model is not automatically a better communication tool.

We translate drawings and models into a navigable environment, checking dimensions, materials, lighting and performance. In VR, errors of scale and continuity become apparent quickly: a doorway that feels too low, an unresolved junction or a confusing route is difficult to hide. Geometry and main design decisions should therefore be validated before detailed finishing.
Review and presentation
The experience can compare design options, explain spaces to people who do not read plans or support a commercial presentation. We agree on device, setting, session length and the guidance visitors will need. When broad access through a web browser matters most, a 360-degree tour may be more practical than an experience requiring a headset.

Virtual reality can share a model and art direction with renders and film. For browser exploration, see our virtual tours; for a directed story, explore architectural animation. To scope the work, we review the design stage, priority spaces, available hardware and final use.
Virtual reality and spatial understanding
In an immersive review, visitors do not see only the camera chosen by someone else: they turn, approach details and decide how long to stay in each place. This means we must check what a conventional perspective can leave outside the frame. We review heights, near surfaces, circulation between rooms and lighting from several positions. A space may look generous in a wide render but feel different when experienced at scale.

We therefore agree whether the experience is for design validation or for presenting a defined scheme. In the first case, comparisons and problem detection matter; in the second, clear navigation and stability carry more weight. The level of interaction follows session length and the audience’s familiarity with a headset.
Preparing a useful session
A VR presentation needs device testing, performance checks, a physical space and a suitable duration before a client visit. We establish an understandable starting point and, where useful, a guided sequence that helps people orient themselves. Material and furniture decisions are documented so a provisional option is not mistaken for a final part of the design.

An immersive environment may draw on the same model as architectural visualization, but it requires specific technical preparation for smooth interaction. If broad access through a simple link is the priority, a 360-degree tour may reach more people. We recommend the format according to audience, platform, schedule and the decisions the experience should help them make.
To assess a session, we collect specific observations about scale, routes and points of uncertainty. Feedback is organised so the team can distinguish design questions from issues caused by the interface. A well-prepared immersive review is more than a technology demonstration: it helps people make better-informed decisions before construction or final presentation.
When multiple stakeholders are involved, we agree on a review lead and a small set of decisions for each session. That focus helps turn observations into useful design feedback rather than a list of unrelated impressions.
When an experience must work through a browser and headset, device support and limitations need checking before the format is promised. The W3C WebXR specification describes web access to immersive devices; session design and tests on the intended hardware remain essential.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before we begin.
How is it different from a 360º?+
A 360º lets users look around from fixed points. Virtual reality can offer a stronger sense of presence and, depending on the project, movement and interaction.
Is special equipment required?+
It depends on the experience. Some work on mobile devices and others require a headset.
Can it be used in a showroom?+
Yes. It can present typologies and spaces before construction.
Can materials be updated?+
Yes, when that capability is included in the technical scope from the outset.
