Virtual Renovation is much, much more than Virtual Staging.

Virtual Staging starts with a photograph of an empty apartment. The must be painted, lit, floors done, and windows cleaned.  THIS COSTS  MONEY.  Pictures of furniture, appliances, rugs and artwork are then added to photo of the apartment.  These pictures must match the apartment photo in terms of orientation, size, scale, etc.

Virtual Renovation takes the floor plan of any apartment (empty or occupied, white-glove clean or a “fixer-upper”, dark or light) and creates a 3D model that can be transformed to show potential modifications. Rooms can be combined, doors moved, closets built. Paint colors and floor finishes, furniture, appliances, lighting, rugs and artwork can be downloaded from the web, and then rotated and scaled to fit the apartment exactly.  Selections can be modified with a few mouse clicks.  Photo-realistic renderings can be created for an unlimited number of views.  A virtual walking tour can guide you through the entire space.

All this can be done without ever setting foot in the apartment.  AT A COST OF HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS NOT THOUSANDS

It’s not printing in the traditional sense.  It ‘prints’ microscopically thin layers of plastic repetitively to build up a physical thickness creating a physical object out of a model.

What does this mean for Virtual Renovation?  It means that now you can take you Virtual Model and actually create a physical model of the room.  Pretty cool!!

“As an interior designer, it’s often difficult for clients to visualize finished spaces through simple floor plans and elevations.  With Virtual Renovation I was able to provide clients with 3D renderings that showed their home exactly as it might look after the design process was complete.  Not only were they able to see their home come to life, but we were able to provide incredible precision and detail right down to the accessories for each room.  Providing design options and solutions is very important as personal style ambitions differ from client to client.  As such, we had the ability to move furniture, walls and change color concepts quickly and easily.  Virtual Renovation’s designers provided excellent customer service and worked with me until we engineered the exact models I required for client presentations.”
