Architectural Visualisations, London

London's architectural visualisation studio for planning, marketing and design sign-off.

Verified views, photomontages, exterior and interior CGI, prepared from surveyed viewpoints and BIM models for London projects. Whether your scheme needs survey-controlled planning evidence, photoreal marketing imagery or interior visualisation for design sign-off, we scope and produce the visualisation that decision demands.

London Planning Context

CGI built for London borough scrutiny, LVMF protected views and heritage settings

Verified views and planning photomontages are prepared using surveyed viewpoints, calibrated cameras and AVR Level 1, 2 or 3 methodology to support borough planning assessment, Townscape Visual Assessment (TVA) and TVIA visual evidence submissions.

London projects are rarely judged in isolation. The London View Management Framework (LVMF) protects strategic vistas, viewing corridors and wider setting consultation areas. Conservation areas, listed buildings, tall-building thresholds, GLA referral, daylight and sunlight, neighbour amenity and borough validation lists all shape how a proposal is read.

Scope clarification

Planning visualisation terms: three distinctions to keep straight

  • CGI is not a verified view. CGI illustrates intent. A verified view follows survey control and AVR methodology to align with a real London viewpoint.
  • Photoreal rendering is not survey accuracy. A realistic appearance is not the same as verified geometry. Survey-controlled photomontage is what planning officers expect.
  • Methodology compliance is not planning approval. AVR Levels 0 to 3, GLVIA3 and TGN 06/19 support assessment. They do not guarantee a permission decision.
AVR Levels

From wireline outline to verified photomontage

An Accurate Visual Representation gains detail at each level, from a bare outline of the proposed scheme to a fully rendered, survey-controlled photomontage.

  1. Level 0

    Wireline outline

    Level 0 plots the proposed development's location and size against the baseline view, without visibility shading or materials, as a low-cost massing test at early design stages.

  2. Levels 1 and 2

    Visibility, then architectural form

    Level 1 adds the degree of visibility; Level 2 adds architectural form, roofline and shading, without final materials. Both levels suit pre-application and design review, where geometry is still resolving.

  3. Level 3

    Fully rendered photomontage

    Level 3 adds materials, glazing and lighting, produced from surveyed ground control points and calibrated cameras with a method statement aligned to Landscape Institute TGN 06/19. It suits committee packs and appeal evidence.

Accurate Visual Representation levels are graded by the London View Management Framework on how much of a proposal an image shows. Verified-view methodology follows Landscape Institute TGN 06/19.
