Competition imagery is an important aspect to any architectural process. Many of our artists come from an architectural background so we understand the complexity and iterative nature of designing, especially at an early stage. Often at this stage the scheme hasn't been finalised and is based upon an idea, we work to emphasise and showcase the architectural intent, focusing on the key concepts that are the basis for the design.
