Physical scale models reinforce the art, creativity, and craftsmanship that your completed project will evoke architecturally. Physical models allow the viewer to perceive a volume of space in relation to the composition of elements that define that space with infinite points of observation. Scale models can be touched, aligned to approximate daylight conditions, built to reveal the interior, and studied to reveal relationships not possible in 2D drawing planes.

         Using napkin sketches, or design control drawings, or a notion of the design intent, Red Bank Studio LLC can build scale models that reflect the massing and scale, shade and shadow, textures and materiallity of your firm’s vision. Small scale site models reflect the surrounding site conditions and how a proposed project will enhance the area, massing models can be used as working models in tandem with other schematic design tools, more resolved larger models start to portray texture, define volume, and reflect material adjacencies, while large detailed models demonstrate the final solution.

As model makers, we are always on the lookout for unique materials that can be redefined at an appropriate scale to reflect the design intent which defines space and place. Whether a quick foam massing technique, chipboard, wood, metal, styrene, acrylic, homosote or plaster, Red Bank Studio LLC can generate models through traditional woodworking techniques, hand sculpting, acid etching metal, laser cutting and scribing at the appropriate scale to fit the required intent or use of the model.
