This was the first year that a Visualisation category was included at the Scottish Design Awards. Render Studio, Scotlandā€™s leading CGI, VR & AR specialists, were awarded the top accolade for their Hendrickā€™s Gin Palace project, which featured photorealistic architectural and interior visuals. The visuals included an immersive Virtual Reality experience which showcased the proposed building design at an early stage. The building, designed by Michael Laird Architects and Scarinish, officially opened in Girvan late 2018.

In addition to the top award, Render Studio were also highly commended for their product visualisation work for Edinburgh based, COCO Chocolatier, as part of the structured re-brand by design agency Freytag Anderson.

Creative Director Blair Porter said ā€œWe are delighted to have not only won the inaugural visualisation award at the Scottish Design Awards for our work with Hendricks Gin Palace but also to receive a commendation for our work with Coco Chocolatier. It is amazing to be credited among our peers who we so highly respect and work with. Itā€™s brilliant the Scottish Design Awards have recognised what we do, with many of our CGIā€™s having been used for a number of years in other designerā€™s entries, it is great to be recognised as an art in our own right.

The growth of computer generated imagery, virtual reality and augmented reality is set to continue and businesses are realising the potential and advantage of using these services. This Scottish architectural visualisers firm specialise in photorealism and are being increasingly used as a virtual photographer to visualise their products in specific environments or virtual locations. This greatly assists our clients to achieve total brand consistency across their range of products with seamless integration of new and future product variations.ā€

A challenging brief, and in line with Hendrickā€™s famously quirky Victorian brand, much of the furniture and Victorian dressing elements were hand selected from various antique auctions from which the Studio was required to produce photorealistic assets for inclusion within the lavish and opulent interiors.

As part of the project they also provided a series of Virtual Reality (VR) environments to assist with buy in from the client. These were interlinked allowing the viewer to effectively transport themselves around the various spaces and appreciate the interiors from varying angles.

The work was presented to the Board at a very early stage to provide them the opportunity to properly visualise what the project would look like once complete and allowed Scarinish Studio to receive full sign-off prior to work commencing onsite.

In addition, Render Studio also assisted Michael Laird Architects achieve sign off for the extravagant Victorian style Glass house situated within the walled garden and the focal point of the Gin Palace.
