3D Modeling of Buildings and Streetscapes

Our 3D models bring policy conversations to life by showing how low‑rise infill will actually look on real neighbourhood streets. Using a Canadian streetscape library, we illustrate how new housing fits within existing context—both today and decades into the future.

Neighbourhood Axonometric Diagrams

We use developer business‑model logic to 3D model how older neighbourhood blocks are likely to evolve, with low-rise infill dispersing across the area over time. This provides planners with a realistic view of how long it will take for infill housing to appear, and what that means for long‑term infrastructure, service planning, and neighbourhood character.

3D Streetviews

By testing variables like setbacks, height, façade articulation, glazing, landscaping, and semi‑private space, we show how infill interacts the streetscape in three dimensions. This is a useful visual for planners, councils, and residents to get a tangible look of how regulation shifts will impact neighbourhoods at the human-scale. 

Worst Case Scenario Outcomes

Not all infill fits well—and when poorly designed, even small infill projects can erode the character of a street. By reviewing zoning on a site, we can 3D model the most unattractive (yet fully permissible!) building that might get built. This allows planners to anticipate design risks and explore policy levers such as form‑based zoning to ensure neighbourhood fit.
