BIM-First Visualisation & Animation Studio Led by Architects

Arcolana is a BIM-first visualisation and animation studio working with architectural and design teams to transform BIM and 3D models into clear, accurate, and compelling visual content.

We specialize in creating renderings, animations, and presentation videos directly from BIM data, supporting architectural projects throughout design development, competitions, client presentations, and marketing phases.

Architects Behind the Visuals

What defines our work is not only the technology we use, but who we are.

Arcolana is led by architects and designers with hands-on experience in real projects. Our team includes architects, interior and product designers, working alongside digital artists and technical specialists.
This allows us to approach every project with a deep understanding of spatial logic, materials, construction, and architectural intent — not just visual aesthetics.

As a result, our visualisations are not decorative add-ons, but accurate architectural interpretations that integrate seamlessly into BIM workflows and project documentation.

From BIM Models to Visual Clarity

We work directly with Revit, Archicad, IFC, Rhino, and SketchUp models to produce:

• Photorealistic interior and exterior renderings

• Walkthrough and fly-through animations

• Phasing and process visualisations

• Presentation and marketing videos for architectural projects

Our BIM-based approach ensures consistency, efficient updates, and a reliable visual narrative throughout the life of a project.

AI-Enhanced Visual Production

In addition to BIM-based visualisation, we use AI as a production tool to extend existing content into dynamic video formats.

AI allows us to:

• transform static renderings into short animated sequences

• add subtle camera movement, light, and atmosphere

• create short-form videos for websites, presentations, and social media

AI is never used as a replacement for architectural thinking, but as a controlled enhancement that improves speed, flexibility, and visual reach — while maintaining full creative and technical control.

Our Approach

At Arcolana, we believe strong visual communication starts with understanding the project, not with technology alone.

Our goal is to help architectural teams:

• communicate design intent clearly

• reduce misunderstandings

• and present complex ideas in a visually precise and compelling way

Whether supporting a competition entry, an internal design review, or a public presentation, we act as a reliable visual partner throughout the process.

We’re always open to new collaborations, exciting projects, and meaningful conversations.
