Architectural Visualization Services
Photorealistic 3D rendering, walkthrough animation, VR experiences, and interactive visualization for architects, developers, and designers worldwide.
What does a 3D architectural visualization studio do?
A 3D architectural visualization studio turns drawings into photorealistic images, animations and tours so buyers, planners and investors can see a building before it is built. Praxis Studio produces exterior and interior renders, aerial and masterplan views, 3D floor plans, walkthrough animations, virtual tours and product or furniture renders. We work from CAD, Revit or SketchUp drawings, reference images and material lists, and deliver in rounds with your markups. Our team overlaps with US and UK mornings, so feedback moves quickly. We serve architects, developers, builders, interior designers and hospitality groups across the US, UK and Europe. Send your files and we will scope the views you need.
What Is Architectural Visualization?
Architectural visualization — often shortened to archviz — is the creation of photorealistic images, animations, and interactive experiences from architectural plans and 3D models. It bridges the gap between a design on paper and the built reality, allowing clients, investors, and stakeholders to see and experience a building before a single brick is laid.
Modern architectural visualization encompasses a range of deliverables: exterior renders showing the building in its site context, interior renders visualizing rooms with materials and furnishing, 3D walkthrough animations that guide viewers through spaces as video, VR experiences for immersive interactive exploration, floor plans in 2D and 3D formats, and photomontage compositing proposed buildings into real site photographs.
The discipline has evolved far beyond simple "3D rendering." Today's architectural visualization studios combine technical expertise in 3D modeling, lighting, and rendering with an understanding of architecture, design communication, and marketing strategy. The goal is not just to produce beautiful images, but to communicate design intent — to help the viewer understand what a space will feel like to inhabit.

From $199 per imageWho We Work With
Architects
From concept presentations to competition submissions, we help architecture firms communicate design intent with photorealistic clarity. Our team understands architectural language, design development timelines, and the standards required for planning applications.
For Residential Architects →Developers
Marketing suites, pre-sales campaigns, investor presentations, and public consultations. We produce the visual assets that help sell developments before they are built — from hero renders to cinematic walkthrough videos.
For Developers →Interior Designers
Visualize material palettes, furniture layouts, and lighting concepts before installation begins. Our interior renders capture the subtlety of textures, the warmth of natural materials, and the play of light across surfaces.
For Interior Designers →Hospitality
Hotels, resorts, restaurants, and leisure venues. We specialize in communicating the guest experience — from arrival sequence to signature spaces — with a focus on atmosphere, materiality, and emotional impact.
For Hospitality →How It Works

Guides and Insights
Can CGI be used in a design and access statement?
Yes, CGI can support a design and access statement if it is accurate and matches your drawings. See what planners expect and what to brief.
How is a verified view produced and what survey data is needed?
A verified view matches a 3D model to a surveyed photo. See the steps, the survey data and the photo details a rendering studio needs from you.
How long does a verified view take for a planning submission?
Verified view timing depends on survey data, the number of views and revision rounds. See what drives the schedule before you plan your submission.
What is TGN 06/19, and does my CGI need to follow it?
TGN 06/19 is Landscape Institute guidance on visualizations for UK planning. See when your CGI should follow it and what inputs a studio needs from you.
What is the difference between AVR level 0, 1, 2 and 3?
AVR levels 0 to 3 run from simple location and size to full photorealism. Here is what each shows and which one your project needs.
Do offshore rendering studios use stock models and generic furniture?
Some studios do. Learn when stock models are fine, what inputs force exact furniture, and how revisions fix generic picks before you hire.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is architectural visualization?
Architectural visualization (archviz) is the creation of photorealistic images, animations, and interactive experiences from architectural plans and 3D models. It helps architects, developers, and designers communicate how a building or space will look and feel before it is built.
What deliverables does architectural visualization include?
Common deliverables include exterior renders (showing the building from outside), interior renders (visualizing rooms and spaces), 3D walkthrough animations (video tours), VR experiences (interactive exploration), floor plans (2D and 3D), and photomontage (compositing proposed buildings into real site photographs).
How much does architectural visualization cost?
Costs vary by deliverable type and complexity. Exterior and interior renders start from $199 per image, floor plans from $149, photomontage from $399 per image or $750 for a set of 3, 3D animation from $2,600 (60-second walkthrough) and VR experiences from $3,000. Final scope, number of views and complexity are confirmed in a written quote before work starts.
How long does it take to produce architectural visualizations?
A standard still usually reaches a first draft in 3 to 5 business days after complete drawings, and finals follow in about 11 business days. Larger sets and animation are scheduled in the written quote.
What files do I need to provide?
Ideally, a 3D model (Revit, SketchUp, or 3ds Max) plus material specifications and reference images. If you only have 2D CAD drawings or sketches, we can build the 3D model as part of the project — this adds to the cost but does not affect final quality.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. We work with architects, developers, and designers worldwide. Our primary markets are the United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, and Australia. All communication is in English, and we accommodate time zone differences in our project management.
What is the difference between architectural visualization and 3D rendering?
3D rendering is the technical process of generating an image from a 3D model. Architectural visualization is the broader discipline that uses 3D rendering (along with animation, VR, and other techniques) to communicate architectural design. The terms are often used interchangeably, but visualization implies a focus on communication and design intent, not just technical output.
How do I choose the right architectural visualization studio?
Evaluate portfolio relevance to your project type, check for consistency across multiple projects, understand the process and revision policy, compare pricing transparently, and verify references. Start with a small test project before committing to a large scope.

How it works: from drawings to final images
You send CAD, Revit or SketchUp drawings, reference images and a material list. We build the 3D model and share an early view for your approval, so geometry, camera angles and massing are confirmed before detailed lighting and materials are applied. Final images are then delivered in rounds, with your markups collected on each round.
Our team overlaps with US and UK mornings, so questions and feedback can be handled during your working day.
- Brief: share drawings, references, material list and the views you need
- Model and camera review: confirm geometry, angles and composition
- Materials and lighting: apply finishes, furniture and atmosphere to the approved views
- Revision rounds: mark up the images and we refine them
- Final delivery: high-resolution images ready for presentations, planning, sales and marketing
Pricing for 3D architectural visualization

Common questions before you hire a visualization studio
Which files can I send? CAD, Revit and SketchUp drawings work well, along with reference images and material lists. If you only have sketches or a rough brief, share what you have and we will tell you what else is needed.
How do revisions work? Work is delivered in rounds. You mark up each round and we apply the changes, so you can steer the result without restarting.
Do you work on interiors and hospitality projects? Yes. We produce interior visualization for homes, hotels, resorts and restaurants, as well as exteriors and masterplans.
Can I work with the same artist across projects? Yes. A dedicated rendering artist is available on a monthly basis if you have steady visualization work.
