3D conceptualization, site studies & landscape visualization

Highway 97 Shop

One light-industrial proposal, followed from model to site questions.

Conceptual 3D visualization only. Not architectural services, not construction documents, not permit-ready.

Project boundary. This is a client case study — not a claim of commissioned, built, tested, or approved work beyond what this page documents. Exterior views are AI-assisted proposal visualizations, not photographs, engineering or permit documentation.

My contribution

3D concept modelling and site visualization, presentation views, and planning/landscape research at CRN Studio. Reads and interprets architectural plans; builds 3D concept models.

01 / Design decisions

Treat the building and the site as one proposition.

The architectural concept places a two-storey light-industrial shop, offices, access and parking within a constrained sloping site. The case is anonymized and omits the civic address, ownership records and planning identifiers.

02 / Design decisions

Move from a massing model into a coordinated set of concept views.

Revit, SketchUp and DWG exchange carry the building from early site tests into concept floor plans, elevations and sections. The displayed sheet is a redacted archival excerpt; its technical notes are proposal assumptions, not verified engineering or code certification.

03 / Design decisions

Use visualization to explain intent—not to simulate proof of construction.

Exterior views composite the model into its landscape to communicate material, scale and access. They are AI-assisted proposal visualizations and must never be presented as photographs of a completed building.

04 / Design decisions

Return to the site with better landscape and planning questions.

The separate landscape folder is a later site-study phase of this same project. It organizes primary-source planning research, site questions, preliminary area studies and a low-input planting direction, but contains no issued landscape drawings or final quantities. Early landscape questions were explored with AI-assisted research; all conclusions checked against primary regional documents.

What came out of it

The outcome.

A coordinated 3D concept proposal with model views, site visualizations and a later research package that makes unresolved landscape and approval questions visible.

What I would develop next

Confirm Alejandro's role and client permission, replace proposal assumptions with verified consultant information, complete the site inventory and landscape drawings, and only then describe an issued status.

Tools with a purpose.

Revit, SketchUp and DWG exchange

3D concept modelling, concept plan and elevation development, and coordination between model formats.

Photoshop

Exterior compositing, landscape context and final presentation development.

Primary-source planning research

Regional planning documents, open-question logs, preliminary area studies and landscape feasibility notes.

Where AI enters the process.

Adobe Firefly and Magnific

Selected exterior proposal views were composited and enhanced. Invented people, vehicles, planting, reflections and atmosphere are concept content, not site documentation.

Let's talk. I'm open to junior experiential, exhibition, spatial, service and product design roles — Toronto-area hybrid, remote, or contract.
