The brief

Make a plan set feel like a place.

Backyard homes are sold before they exist. Homeowners, lenders and permit offices are asked to commit to 576 square feet that only exist as lines on paper.

This is a self-initiated build, made to show the full TVV process on a real, public plan set: take the drawings a client already has and return a space they can stand inside, plus the stills and film to market it.

Process

From plans to place, in four stages.

01

Plans

We start from the drawings the client already has. Every wall, door and window in this build comes from the city's plan set, at its true dimensions.

Model

The structure is built to the drawings and checked against them before any finish goes on, so what buyers see matches what gets built.

03

Capture

The finished space is captured into a form that stays photoreal in an ordinary browser, on a phone, with nothing to install.

Realized

Furnished, lit and explorable. The stills and the film come from the same build, so every deliverable matches.

What was delivered

For developers

What this means for your project.

  • 01

    One source of truth

    Marketing, sales and approvals all work from the same build, so nothing contradicts anything else.

  • 02

    Changes carry through

    When the design changes, the walkthrough, stills and film are updated together.

  • 03

    Buyers tour on their own time

    A link replaces the model unit for anyone who cannot visit in person.
