Berry Residence

Description:

Project:
The construction site is located on a hillside near Vienna, Austria. Situated on the southern slope, the house will overlook Vienna. For this reason, the common living areas are located on the upper floor. Wonderful views of the city are provided through the generous use of glass and the construction of a large terrace. The various functional areas of the house are arranged in staggered levels with no loss of space or light. The bedrooms and baths are located on the entry level of the house. A large domed roof light over the stairs provides good lighting all the way down to the street level and opens up the entry area to the upper level.
The house was conceived as a passive solar house using the timber construction method and will be sided with light colored panels.
From the street-level carport, a service elevator will carry people and goods to the upper level.

Testimonial:
Our architectural office commissioned Tangram 3ds with the visualization and animation of a single family residence we had designed for an (Austrian) artist. The client wanted photo quality exterior and interior views as well as a 90-second walkthrough animation of the building.We got several estimates for the visualization and animation work. Tangram 3ds offered the best quality work for the price.Our work with Tangram 3ds proved to be extremely advantageous. Our expectations, which were high to begin with, were exceeded. Our client had a very precise design concept in mind, so good communication was of the utmost importance in turning this concept into reality. With the help of Tangram 3ds, we were able to provide our client with a photo realistic rendering of our design, including materials, color selections, lighting, vegetation, and surroundings, which gave the client a true impression of his future home.The architectural 3d animation or walkthrough was especially important to our client who is a film enthusiast. The ability to “walk through” his virtual home heightened his anticipation of the finished project while providing him with a powerful tool for marketing the house as a future location for filming commercials and movies.
As a result of our positive experience, we will continue to work with Tangram 3ds in the future. We believe that the marketing for future projects will be faster and more effective with the services provided by Tangram 3ds. Visualization products of this quality can boost sales even before construction completion.

AlBateen Tower, Jumeirah Beach Road, Dubai UAE

Description:

Project:

The Al Bateen Tower at Jumeirah Beach is poised to propel the concept of living environments to a new horizon. Its design is born from the site itself, and the architecture can be considered an encounter with fluidity - a structure that reflects the flowing transition of forces from sand to sea. The building’s shape will constantly change as it is experienced from different vantage points, and as such, it represents not only the site’s dramatic transition from desert to sea, but also the dynamic transformations happening in the current and future Dubai.

The project will include a G-plus-50-story luxury apartment high-rise and a G-plus-30-story five-star hotel with an in-house business center, ballroom, restaurants, state-of-the-art health club, spa and beach club. Lush landscaping will define the site and will also be used to soften the internal edge of a garden wall that will surround and protect the grounds. The Al Bateen will offer both luxury residential apartments and 5-star hotel accommodations, designed within two separate and dynamically related towers. Together the two curved towers will form a building unique to all of Dubai, and their carefully-oriented views will offer residents and guests unrivaled vistas of the sea and the city. Residents and visitors will have not only spectacular views, they will have - as part of their own front foyer and front yard - uninterrupted access to business facilities, upscale restaurants and shops, luxury beach club amenities, elegantly landscaped terraces, swimming pools, sandy beaches, and the sea beyond.

From the lushly landscaped exterior to modern interior, the architecture will set a stage of quiet elegance through the use of clean, simple and dramatic forms. Sweeping canopies and carefully designed entries will transition residents and visitors into light-filled lobbies. On the floors above, as a resident or guest opens the heavy and secure door to their apartment, their focus will be swept away by a view that stretches to a distant horizon. Only after catching one’s breath, will one notice the sound and secure feeling that the unique residence offers with magnificent stone floors, rich wood cabinetry, doors and timber works, wall niches for the display of art, molded ceilings with integrated lights, and other elegant finishes.

Simplicity, elegance and quality: those are the words that will brand this project. It will be home and host to the best that Dubai has to offer, and will bring together an international community where locals can experience a freshness that lets them become foreigners, and foreigners will feel a welcoming luxury that lets them become locals.

Testimonial:

Tangram 3DS has been instrumental not only in providing the 3D renderings of the project but in helping us with developing the design by modeling the entire building and showing us all the different angels and details of the model. They were like always very responsive and ended up delivering more products than initially discussed in the same amount of time. Like always it was a pleasure working with them.

This interior renovation of the Langham Hotel Fitness Center in Boston was another project where TRO Jung|Brannen worked with Tangram 3DS to develop visual design aid imagery.  Tangram’s modelers recreated the existing fitness center in a computer model, and then adapted that model according to design sketches and concepts from architects at TRO Jung|Brannen.  Visualization artists then rendered those models into finished renderings which were presented to the owners for feedback.

By collaborating with Tangram, project architects are able to spend less time assembling client presentation materials and focus on taking their designs further. Details:

150 Federal Street

Description:

Project Description

Tasked with revitalizing the main lobby and public corridors of the 150 Federal Street, a thirty-story office tower in Boston, TRO Jung | Brannen teamed up with Tangram 3DS to offer their clients visual aids that communicated their design intentions.

Renovations include large stained cherry and beech wood art panels, new wood and backlit glass front reception desk with state-of-the-art security provisions, and updated lighting scheme featuring daylight lamping.  The design also features new lobby seating with black bamboo planters and an interactive building directory.

Working from existing hardcopy blueprints, on-site photography, and the architect's design sketches, Tangram created multiple 3D interior perspectives as well as a photo montage of the exterior building's redesigned sidewalk and signage configuration.  Recreating the lobby space as a three-dimensional computer model allowed the architects to experiment with different design schemes as well as new materials and textures.  The response TRO J|B received from these images allowed them to hone their designs and ensure their client's satisfaction with the project.

The GTECH Center in Providence, RI, is a 400,000 square foot urban mixed-use building.  Architect Al Spagnolo of Spagnolo/Gisness & Associates engaged Tangram 3DS to produce renderings while his firm refined their design.

The task of incorporating a major retail center and associated parking in the heart of the Capital Center District presented several challenges.  Foremost was the need to create a functional pedestrian corridor between the historic Rhode Island State House and the Downcity retail section.  Also a concern was the enormous structure's impact on the adjacent Waterplace park.

Dubai Development Concept

Description: Project Description
Tangram produced this image for TRO Jung|Brannen as part of a design presentation to their client in Dubai.  The project involved producing massing studies and preliminary models, from which ultimately this angle was chosen and developed into a finished rendering.  Once materials were applied, the designers asked Tangram to produce several iterations allowing them to see and react to multiple color schemes and refine their concept.

Ultimately the design was rejected and has since gone into extensive redesign, however even in such cases where a rendering sends architects back to the drawing board, rarely are clients displeased with the renderings.  In the end Tangram’s images always contribute to a design result that is liked by all parties involved.

Tangram was involved at the project’s inception, reproducing the existing Westin Providence tower as well as the neighboring city blocks and architecture in a 3D computer model.  The new residential tower was refined over the course of the project until the city and owners were satisfied with its design.  This long-term collaboration made it possible for Tangram to deliver revised renderings on-demand throughout the design phase, with the final renderings available to the owners for sales and marketing use.

The Residences at The Westin Providence

Client Testimonial
We worked closely and intensively with Tangram 3DS on the Westin beginning with the schematic design through final client and city regulatory approvals.  This schedule was demanding and often required collaboration and production within a short turnaround to meet city-imposed project deadlines.  Working with Tangram 3DS was the best solution for this process, with Tangram being able to intuitively respond to design team changes from (often) sketchy information.  Our office continues to work with Tangram 3DS on most of our design projects.

The Brewery Lofts

Description: Project Description
The Brewery Lofts, an historic rehabilitation to 79 loft-style residential condominium homes.  Located in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston, adjacent to the Longwood Medical area, The Brewery Lofts will be an eclectic mix of old and new.  The majority of the living space will be located in the main historic buildings, which were originally built in 1893 to house The American Brewing Company.  Historical elements will be preserved and enhanced, ranging from large period clock faces mounted at the peaks, to Queen Ann style details throughout.  New construction will provide structured parking and additional residential units.  The project will also include a 5,000 square-foot interior courtyard, which will retain its original cobblestones.

Tangram 3DS was brought in to produce high-impact computer renderings of the newly designed exterior courtyard and a typical unit interior.  Artists from Tangram visited the site and took extensive reference photography from which they recreated the building's period details.  The old and the new first clashed in Tangram's computer model where the space was transformed into a high-end contemporary loft space to the architects' specifications.

"The Tangram team did a wonderful job for us on this proposed renovation/expansion of an office park into a new home for the BJBE congregation. The visual still and animation images showing us and our client what the new design and interior spaces would feel like were incredibly realistic, and Stefan and his team have been a real pleasure to work with on this project. Having never done a religious building as a project type before, Tangram met and exceeded our expectations in a timely and courteous fashion. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation, and we are hiring them to do more work for other clients who were very impressed with what they did for us for BJBE."

Penny Savings Bank Residencies

Description: Project Description
The Boston Penny Savings Bank, circa 1911, was adapted for residential use by Finegold Alexander + Associates.  The plan called for complete restoration of the existing building's facade while the interiors were gutted and rebuilt.  Atop the two-story building was added a three-story glass cube to house apartment units.  The walls of the cube were built deliberately askew to the existing bank's footprint to separate the two architectural styles spatially.

Tangram's renderings of the Boston Penny Savings Bank were the Stonegate Group's first marketing image of the project that depicted the building in its refurbished state and the addition of the glass cube.  As such they have seen use not only for marketing, but also for generating public interest in this grand renovation at the corner of Washington and Union Park streets.

Pocahontas Road is a visualization of a turn of the century New England home brought back to life through a complete interior/exterior renovation and addition.  At the time that Tangram was asked to produce this image, the building was a mass of plywood and scaffolding and the site a mudhole after recent heavy rains.  Thanks to computer rendering, the property was able to be listed and advertised without months before it would have been ready to photograph.

Berry Residence

Description: Project:
The construction site is located on a hillside near Vienna, Austria. Situated on the southern slope, the house will overlook Vienna. For this reason, the common living areas are located on the upper floor. Wonderful views of the city are provided through the generous use of glass and the construction of a large terrace. The various functional areas of the house are arranged in staggered levels with no loss of space or light. The bedrooms and baths are located on the entry level of the house. A large domed roof light over the stairs provides good lighting all the way down to the street level and opens up the entry area to the upper level.
The house was conceived as a passive solar house using the timber construction method and will be sided with light colored panels.
From the street-level carport, a service elevator will carry people and goods to the upper level.

Testimonial:
Our architectural office commissioned Tangram 3ds with the visualization and animation of a single family residence we had designed for an (Austrian) artist. The client wanted photo quality exterior and interior views as well as a 90-second walkthrough animation of the building.We got several estimates for the visualization and animation work. Tangram 3ds offered the best quality work for the price.Our work with Tangram 3ds proved to be extremely advantageous. Our expectations, which were high to begin with, were exceeded. Our client had a very precise design concept in mind, so good communication was of the utmost importance in turning this concept into reality. With the help of Tangram 3ds, we were able to provide our client with a photo realistic rendering of our design, including materials, color selections, lighting, vegetation, and surroundings, which gave the client a true impression of his future home.The architectural 3d animation or walkthrough was especially important to our client who is a film enthusiast. The ability to “walk through” his virtual home heightened his anticipation of the finished project while providing him with a powerful tool for marketing the house as a future location for filming commercials and movies.
As a result of our positive experience, we will continue to work with Tangram 3ds in the future. We believe that the marketing for future projects will be faster and more effective with the services provided by Tangram 3ds. Visualization products of this quality can boost sales even before construction completion.

The Westin Providence

Description: Project Description
This project was a 400,000 GSF mixed-use tower expansion to the Westin Providence Hotel.  200 hotel guestroom addition to the existing Westin with 12,000 GSF ground-floor retail/restaurant, 102 condominiums, and 150 private parking spaces.  Designed to the latest International Energy Code, with CIP concrete structure, brick and precast enclosure, insulated low-e windows and terrace doors, and Energy Star appliances.

Tangram was involved at the project’s inception, reproducing the existing Westin Providence as well as the surrounding city blocks and architecture in a 3D computer model.  The new Residencies Tower was refined over the course of the project until the city and owners were satisfied with its design.  This long-term collaboration made it possible for Tangram to deliver revised renderings on-demand throughout the design phase, with the final renderings available to the owners for sales and marketing use.

The Residences at The Westin Providence

Client Testimonial
"We worked closely and intensively with Tangram 3DS on the Westin beginning with the schematic design through final client and city regulatory approvals.  This schedule was demanding and often required collaboration and production within a short turnaround to meet city-imposed project deadlines.  Working with Tangram 3DS was the best solution for this process, with Tangram being able to intuitively respond to design team changes from (often) sketchy information.  Our office continues to work with Tangram 3DS on most of our design projects."
