We excel in producing visionary imagery for urban designers and architects with winning architectural renderings for competitions, permitting, marketing, communication. We work with starchitects, artists, planners, and researchers as well as small institutions. Our portfolio highlights experience with Ateliers Jean Nouvel, Taller Enrique Norten, Sasaki Associates, Louis Vuitton, France Telecom, Harvard Real Estate Initiative, the Venture Café and more. Our eye candy has been featured in design reviews the world over. We create renderings for a range of graphic and design typologies: architecture, urban design, master planning, landscape design, real estate development, campus visions, diagrams, and before-after comparisons. While 3D wire frames play an important role in our renderings, we privilege the image’s narrative over photorealistic rendering which tends to distract the viewer from the designer’s overall vision. Common descriptions architects use to describe what they want: ephemeral, hazy, blurry, evanescent, transient, diaphanous, other-worldly, transcendent, ambiguous, minimalist, sleek, beautiful, dramatic, vague, suggestive, shiny, glossy, hi-tech, techno, cool, sexy, vegetal, rusty, reflective, with blinding light, dappled light, mottled light, trademark white, trademark black, blood red, like candy, with lead-colored sky. We are located in the Boston area, in Cambridge to be precise, down the street from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. We are a local-economy office, using only local talent. No off shoring to China, no problems with miscommunication, and no factory 3D renderings. We are artists and designers ourselves, so we understand your quest for communicating your vision. So give HartnessVision a try.
