Tropical Fruit Warehouse - Where Glass Meets Water

Visual lab was entrusted with capturing the fusion of tradition and modernity. Delving into Dublin's rich heritage allowed us to craft visuals that seamlessly intertwine the contemporary elements with the project's historic foundation.

Through our CGI work, we aimed to encapsulate the vibrancy of social interactions, crafting varied atmospheres for each setting. A pivotal step was securing the ideal on-site photographs, which we seamlessly integrated with our computer-generated visuals to highlight the stunning locale. The unique allure of Dublin's waterfront became our canvas. Additionally, our Virtual Tours provided clients with an immersive experience, allowing viewers to explore every angle, amplifying the narrative's impact.
