Anatomy of a case study

Build with Obsidian and this is the record your project receives: every stage, from the first line to the finished building, held side by side, so you can see that what we rendered is what we built.

A case study is told in the order the building was made. Slide across the image above: the drawing and the visualisation are registered line for line, and the finished building is photographed to match them.

What a case study shows

  1. 01

    The brief

    Your site, your ambition and your budget as you first described them, and the constraints that shaped every decision after.

  2. 02

    The drawings

    Plans, sections and elevations, with every proportion resolved before anything is built.

  3. 03

    The visualisation

    The building and its spaces as you saw them before construction began, rendered from fixed camera positions.

  4. 04

    The materials

    Stone, glass, metal and finish, chosen for how they look, how they age and how they are built.

  5. 05

    The build

    The same team on site, carrying each decision from the drawings into construction.

  6. 06

    The finished building

    Photographed from the same camera positions as the visualisation, so render and reality can be compared directly.
