Let your stakeholders walk through the design before it exists
Plans and renders communicate design intent. VR lets people experience it. When a client, investor, or planning committee member puts on a headset and walks through your building at full scale, the conversation shifts from “What will this look like?” to “This is what it feels like.”
We create architectural VR experiences that translate your design data into immersive, navigable environments, enabling real-time design review, more confident client sign-off, and more persuasive stakeholder presentations.
Who this is for
- Architects conducting design reviews with clients who struggle to read 2D drawings.
- Property developers equipping sales suites and showrooms with immersive presentation tools.
- Interior designers allowing clients to experience spatial and material options before committing.
- Public engagement teams presenting large-scale plans to communities in an accessible, experiential format.
Virtual tours for real estate developers
A virtual tour lets a buyer walk an apartment or home that has not been built, at full scale, in a VR headset. Developers use it in the sales suite, where a still or a floor plan only goes so far: the buyer stands in the living room, turns to the balcony and checks the ceiling height for themselves. Tours are built from the same 3D scene as your renders, so materials and lighting match the brochure. VR experiences start from $3,000; the final price depends on the number of spaces and the level of interactivity, and we quote before work begins. To see how a tour fits a launch, read about real estate rendering for developers and multifamily rendering.
Who uses VR most
VR is most often commissioned by interior designers and residential architects running client design reviews.
VR for client reviews in Europe, the UK and the US
Immersive reviews suit design-team presentations and sales suites in Europe, the UK and the US alike. Architects weighing it against stills can begin with the architect test offer, and the other deliverables are listed under architectural rendering services.
Why & How
VR for Architects: The Challenge and Our Approach
VR has to let a client stand inside a design before it exists, so scale, navigation and comfort matter more than any single still.
The Challenge
The Problem We Solve
Why VR Matters for Design Review
2D Plans Fail Stakeholders
Clients, investors, and committee members who are not architects cannot read plans and sections. They approve drawings they do not fully understand, leading to surprises and change orders later.
Remote Presentations Lack Impact
Screen-sharing a PDF of renders does not create the emotional engagement needed to close a sale or secure buy-in. Remote stakeholders need an immersive experience.
Design Review Bottlenecks
When clients cannot experience spatial quality from drawings alone, design review cycles multiply. Each round of feedback is based on incomplete understanding.
Sales Suite Limitations
Physical showrooms are expensive and inflexible. VR offers an immersive sales experience that can be updated as the design evolves and transported to any location.
Our Approach
How We Work
How We Build a VR Experience
Walkthrough
Real-Time Walkthrough
We build your design as a real-time 3D environment that users can navigate freely — walking through rooms, looking around corners, and experiencing the space at human scale.
- 6DOF (six degrees of freedom) navigation
- Human-scale 1:1 spatial experience
- Real-time lighting and material response
- Teleportation and smooth locomotion
Headsets
Headset Compatibility
We develop for the headset platforms your team and clients use — Meta Quest, HTC Vive, Apple Vision Pro — with standalone packaging that requires no technical setup.
- Meta Quest standalone builds
- SteamVR (HTC Vive, Valve Index)
- Apple Vision Pro (visionOS)
- Presentation-ready packaging
Web Viewer
Web-Based Viewer
For stakeholders without headsets, we provide a browser-based 3D viewer and 360-degree panoramic fallback that works on any device — desktop, tablet, or phone.
- No-install browser experience
- 360-degree panoramic views
- Desktop, tablet, and mobile
- Shareable link for remote review
AR
AR Placement
Augmented reality allows clients to place a scale model of your building on a tabletop or view it at full scale on site — using their phone or tablet camera.
- Tabletop scale-model viewing
- Full-scale on-site placement
- iOS and Android support
- No app download required (WebAR)
What You Get
VR Deliverables and Uses
VR is delivered as an experience you can open in a headset or on screen, built from the same scene as your stills.

Design Review in VR
Walk through your design with clients in real time. Identify issues, test material options, and reach consensus faster than with 2D reviews.
Immersive Sales Suite
Replace or augment physical showrooms with a VR experience that lets buyers explore every unit type, finish option, and view from the building.
Material & Spatial Confidence
Let clients experience their interior scheme at full scale before committing. Reduce change orders and build trust in your design decisions.

How It Works
Our VR Production Process
A VR job starts from your model and review goals, moves through scene preparation and testing, and is delivered after two revision rounds.
Scope and model check
We review your model, agree the rooms or areas to be walkable, and confirm the headset or browser target.
VR build
We optimise the scene for real-time, set lighting and materials, and share a test build for you to walk through.
Review and handover
After the included revision rounds we deliver the VR package with simple instructions for your client meeting.
VR walkthrough scenes are built from your 3D model, using the same 3ds Max, Corona and V-Ray production pipeline as our stills.
Pricing & Questions
VR Pricing and FAQ
VR is priced from $3,000, and the final quote depends on the number of spaces and the level of interactivity.
Investment Philosophy
Pricing
VR Pricing, Scoped to Your Spaces
Every project is different. We provide a fixed quote after understanding your scope — no hourly billing surprises, no hidden fees.

Fixed Quote
You receive a clear, all-inclusive price before work begins. The quote covers scene building, optimization, platform deployment, and testing.
Scope-Matched
Pricing reflects the scale of the environment, number of platform targets, and level of interactive features required.
Revisions Included
Two rounds of revisions are built into every quote. Material changes, lighting adjustments, and navigation refinements are covered.
Common Questions
Do I need to own VR hardware?
We can advise on hardware selection and provide rental recommendations for short-term use (e.g., sales events). For permanent installations like sales suites, we can recommend a suitable headset and setup.
Can the VR experience be updated if the design changes?
Yes. Because the VR scene is built from your 3D data, design updates can be incorporated. We quote design-change updates separately based on the scope of changes required.
Is VR suitable for remote presentations?
Yes. We can deliver 360-degree panoramic versions that work in a web browser without a headset, or provide screen-sharing-compatible desktop VR modes for remote meetings.
How long does a VR project take?
A typical single-building VR experience takes 3-5 weeks from model receipt to final delivery. Multi-building or campus-scale projects are quoted individually.
What is the difference between VR and a 360-degree panorama?
A 360-degree panorama is a pre-rendered image that you can look around from a fixed position. A VR walkthrough lets you move freely through the space in real time. We offer both, and they can be combined in a single project.
How much does a VR walkthrough cost?
VR walkthroughs start from $3,000 per project. The price depends on the size of the explorable area, the level of interactivity and the target headset or device. Two revision rounds are included and you get a written quote before work starts. See the pricing page.
