Project 41 Mission Church

Project Overview

3 renders. Brussels, Belgium. A institutional project called Project 41 Mission Church that the religious organization needed visualized before ground broke. That was the starting point.

Spanish colonial mission-style church with terracotta tile roof, stucco walls, arched entrance, cross detail, round window.

The Challenge

Balancing aesthetics with accuracy is always the tension in this work. The religious organization wanted images that looked aspirational — but the architects needed every proportion, setback, and material call to be precisely as drawn.

Lighting was the quiet challenge here. The religious organization wanted Daylight, Dusk / Twilight conditions, and getting those to look natural — not staged, not oversaturated — is where a lot of archviz falls flat.

Our Approach

The rendering pipeline was set up to handle 3 outputs efficiently. Shared lighting rigs, consistent material libraries, and a standardised colour pipeline meant every image maintained the same visual standard.

Camera positions were planned, not improvised. We mapped out aerial, 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.

We ran the first round of test renders at reduced resolution to get quick feedback on composition, materials, and overall mood. This let us catch issues early when changes were cheap, not late when they weren’t.

The Result

We delivered the complete package of 3 renders within the agreed 2-3 weeks window. The religious organization confirmed the images are now central to their sales and approval materials.
