Dublin Central - Renewing The Heart of Dublin

Tackling such a large-scale project and working with multiple Architectural practices required meticulous organisation from the outset. Given the myriad of details to be addressed, we divided our team into specialised groups, each focusing on elements like building and landscape modeling, interiors, materials, lighting, atmosphere, and storytelling.
Once the modeling and rendering were complete, our post-production experts added the final flourishes, incorporating people to bring the visuals to life.
The restoration of a significant piece of O’Connell St Upper,
Dublin’s pre-eminent street.
The MetroLink project is also planned to have main entrances at O'Connell Street Upper and the second entrance will be situated in Moore Street.
The masterplan proposals include two new public squares, new pedestrian routes and the restoration of historically important laneways.
Spanning 5.5 acres, this expansive property boasts a 200-meter stretch along O’Connell Street, one of Ireland's most prominent and well-connected avenues. Adjacent to the west is the historically rich Moore Street, known for its market legacy and significant events from the 1916 Rising.
The revitalised Dublin Central district offers a range of community-focused amenities. Enjoy cultural experiences in gallery spaces, live in 97 premium residential units with top-tier facilities, and shop at modern, high-end retail outlets.

Dine at diverse restaurants and bars, work in flexible, well-designed spaces, and relax in two planned hotels with 210 rooms. Excellent transport links, including the metrolink, tram lines, and bus routes, keep you well connected.
In the realm of architectural visualisation, the inclusion of animated people and cars does more than just populate a scene.

These elements breathe life into the design, adding a layer of realism and dynamism. A bustling sidewalk or the gentle movement of cars can convey the project's context, suggesting the vibrancy and functionality of a space.

Moreover, these animations help potential stakeholders or buyers visualise the day-to-day experience within the environment, bridging the gap between architectural concept and lived reality.

In essence, animated elements transform architectural visuals from mere representations into vivid, relatable scenes of potential future life.
