Project Twee Facility

Project Overview

When we took on Project Twee Facility, the healthcare organization in Tucson, AZ had a specific problem: their design was strong, but nobody outside the studio could see it yet. They needed 3 renders that would change that.

Three-story institutional building with white stucco, dark timber slat screen at ground-floor restaurant/cafe area, ‘Twee’ cursive signage.

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.

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

Our Approach

Landscape and entourage came last but mattered enormously. Trees, people, vehicles, sky — these contextual elements are what make a render feel like a photograph instead of a diagram.

We leaned on physically-based rendering throughout. Every material — glass, stone, metal, timber — was defined by real-world optical properties. That’s what makes the difference between a render that looks ‘nice’ and one that looks true.

Lighting development ran parallel to the modelling. We tested multiple Daylight setups early — before the geometry was even finished — so we could lock in the mood and atmosphere without burning production time later.

The Result

Delivery took 2-3 weeks from kick-off to final files. The 3-image set now powers the project’s online presence, sales centre displays, and social media content.
