WyrdTree

The end of winter, though not yet quite spring. A time for quiet landscapes and places that endure. A few visuals to mark the shift and something to go along with it: https://lnkd.in/dqre8xUh Visuals in order (brought to life by WyrdTree): 1.

We’re pleased to see that the Royal Borough of Greenwich has granted planning permission for the redevelopment of 141 Woolwich! As the visualisation studio behind the project, WyrdTree was proud to help bring this design to life. It’s always rewarding to see our work play a role in shaping the future of London’s built environment. Looking forward to the next stages of this exciting development!

Bringing History to Life: The Transformation of Hampstead Police Station By: WyrdTree WyrdTree’s Approach: Visualising Atmosphere, Enhancing Legacy At WyrdTree, we thrive on producing visualisations for sites rich in history and character. Every project we take on is an opportunity to tell a story—one that goes beyond simple representation and into the realm of atmosphere and visual immersion. Context is always a priority. Before we even begin optimising the 3d scene, we take the time to absorb the essence of a place, carefully photographing, modelling and texturing its surroundings in intricate detail. For the transformation of Hampstead Police Station, this philosophy was particularly important. This was not just another development—it was the revival of a well-loved landmark, requiring a careful balance of heritage sensitivity and modern function. The visuals needed to reflect this duality, capturing both the meticulous restoration of historic elements and the seamless integration of contemporary interventions.... 🔗Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eZvSh5aX 📢 Mihail Bila | WyrdTree | Architecture Vogue Magazine

Thrilled to welcome Dominique to the WyrdTree team! Dominique is a talented 3D artist and interior designer with an impeccable eye for detail. She brings a strong sense of composition, lighting, and colour to every project, ensuring each visualisation is not just technically precise but atmospherically rich. Beyond the screen, Dominique finds inspiration in photography, nature and pottery—pursuits that reflect her innate feel for texture, materiality, and storytelling through design. Looking forward to crafting more compelling narratives together!

Sometimes, designing a building involves multiple iterations—especially when working within a sensitive historical context, where retrofitting and extending an existing Art Deco structure requires careful consideration. In this case, visualisation played a crucial role in testing different ideas. A material or architectural detail might sound great in theory, yet prove inadequate when seen in full context. Over the past year and a half, we’ve collaborated closely with Paul Treacy Architects in visualising their 4-star hotel on Queen Street, Cardiff, supporting the various stages of their planning application. The visuals here document the project's evolution, showing how each iteration refined the design. I’m happy to say this is one of those instances where later versions brought everything together visually—so much so that the new extension now feels like it’s always been part of the streetscape. The final proposal delivers a high-quality, 158-key 4-star hotel with ground-floor retail, a feature rooftop sky bar, a landscaped roof garden, and a fine dining rooftop experience—creating a vibrant new destination that enhances Cardiff’s urban experience while supporting local employment and regeneration efforts.

Do these images remind you of a crisp winter noon in East London? Can you picture yourself strolling along the canal, coffee in hand, absentmindedly admiring the longboats? Maybe even stopping by The Gregorian for a pint after wrapping up site photos? That’s the essence of good visualisation—it doesn’t need to shout. A scheme should feel like a natural part of its context, not an overworked spectacle. Striking, high-drama renders may turn heads, but they rarely leave a lasting impression. Subtle, believable visuals do. Images in order (brought to life by WyrdTree): 1, 2, 3. Primrose Road Mosque, Woodford. Design by Makespace Architects 4, 5, 6.

While many struggle to see the city as worthy of exploration, nature is almost universally regarded as beautiful. Hiking coastal paths, camping in the Peaks, strolling along a canal or through the woods — these aren’t functional activities. They’re about being present, enjoying the landscape for its own sake. Schiller captured this idea well: true fulfilment, he argued, comes not from purpose but from setting it aside. He saw aesthetic experience as a kind of play—something done for its own sake, simply because it delights us. The Romantic view draws a rigid line between work and leisure, culture and nature. Strolling or hiking is seen as aimless but enjoyable—yet anyone who hikes knows that having a purpose can heighten the experience, not lessen it. Heading into nature with intent—whether foraging for mushrooms, managing woodlands, monitoring wildlife, dowsing, gardening, or even hobbies like photographing roe deer or scouting a spot for landscape painting—deepens our connection to the landscape. Work and play merge into a state of flow. We’re no longer outsiders looking in; nature isn’t just a resource or a backdrop—it becomes a presence, a ‘you’ rather than an ‘it’. The idea that logic and creativity, or work and play, are separate is misleading. Purpose and exploration should go hand in hand. In landscape-driven visuals, this means blending intention with curiosity, allowing the landscape to shape the process rather than just fitting it into predefined boxes. It's about seeing the landscape not as a backdrop, but as a living presence, where both the practical and the poetic coexist naturally. Images in order (brought to life by WyrdTree): 1.

💭 What does it mean to take a landscape-centred approach to visualisation? We’re thrilled to have our work featured in Architecture Vogue Magazine, where we shared a bit about what drives the creative process behind Wyrd Tree’s visuals. Being 'landscape-driven' isn’t just a fancy term we toss around—it’s at the heart of how we craft visuals that feel alive, soulful, and full of atmosphere. 🔗 Read the full feature here: https://lnkd.in/d-deBsHZ #ArchitecturalVisualisation #LandscapeDriven
