Carola Quartier Dresden

Project Overview

Every project has a story. For Carola Quartier Dresden, we told it across 3 exterior views — from the signature hero shot that anchors the branding down to the granular views that satisfy technical reviewers.

Multi-story European Bauhaus-influenced hotel or aparthotel complex in Dresden with white plastered facades, blue-tinted window glazing, curved stairwell tower element, orange accent bands, stone-clad lower levels, pitched roof sections, balconies, and a green courtyard lawn.

The Challenge

The biggest hurdle was fidelity at scale. With 3 compositions to produce, we couldn’t afford to let quality drift between the first render and the last. Every image needed to feel like it came from the same visual universe.

The design was still evolving when we started. We had to build a model flexible enough to absorb changes mid-stream without derailing the production schedule.

Our Approach

Camera positions were planned, not improvised. We mapped out corner-view, eye-level angles based on the project’s strongest design moments, then refined framing through a series of grey-shaded test renders before committing to final production.

Feedback cycles were structured. We presented renders in context — placed into the marketing layout or presentation deck — so the architecture firm could evaluate them as their audience would see them, not as isolated files on a white background.

The modelling phase was methodical. We built the geometry from the architectural plans, cross-referencing elevations and sections to catch anything that might read differently in three dimensions than it does on paper.

The Result

We wrapped production within 2-3 weeks, delivering 3 final renders optimised for both digital and print. The hero shot leads the project’s marketing, and the gallery views round out the full story.
