This unique, and highly detailed model was conceived at 3DD’s studio to demonstrate all the aspects of this complex development. The circular plinth incorporates two illuminated amenity models, demonstrating the facilities at ground and lower ground levels. Above ground, each apartment within the building illuminates individually, and to celebrate its Victorian heritage, the gasholder frame was faithfully reproduced in every detail, including the rivets.

On the banks of the Grand Union Canal, the 17-storey, 240,000 sq. ft. commercial building lies opposite Brunel’s Paddington Station and its remarkable connections. Below-ground constraints led to a unique external structure that allows for 3.5m high column-free space throughout the building and large windows that give panoramic views from each floor.

This modelling project created a number of exciting technical challenges; the building needed to split seamlessly in two, revealing hyper-realistic, interactively controlled ceiling detail. No two floors or elevations are the same due to the building’s unique structural design.
