Illuminated Models (Various Scales)

Special lighting effects can give a model an extra dimension. There are various ways we can do this - lighting within the building with miniature bulbs, up-lighting round the building with fibre optics, or adding ‘street lights’ to the roads, car parking areas and communal garden areas.

We can even add keypad controlled illumination of individual rooms or apartments.

Cardiff Bay Marketing Model - Scale 1:500 – Built to illustrate the proposed scale of several major development areas in a prime waterside location, this model used illumination to highlight the key sites in the project. Each of 11 different plots can be illuminated individually at the touch of a button.

Scale Illuminated Model International Sports Village

International Sports Village - Scale 1:500 – A 1:500 scale site model for the proposed international sports village in Cardiff Bay. The client wanted to combine wood, Perspex, white surfaces and bright illumination in what is essentially a concept model with the theme "Snow, ice, fire, water".

Scale Illuminated Model Dockside Apartments

Dockside Apartments - Scale 1:200 – This complex model featured six elevated apartment blocks enhanced by three independent lighting systems illuminating different aspects of the development, including an individual control for each building.

Scale Illuminated Model Hospital Massing Model

Hospital Massing Model - Scale 1:500 – Designed to illustrate the massing and general layout of a proposed major hospital extension this 1:500 scale model used illumination to differentiate between the new-build areas and the unlit existing hospital buildings.

Scale Illuminated Model Wales Millennium Centre

Wales Millennium Centre - Scale 1:200 – Bright illumination brings life to the main entrance of the new Performing Arts Theatre in Cardiff Bay. The 1:200 scale model was made mostly from wood to echo the natural materials chosen for the finish of the building.
