3D Design and Architectural Visualization

Architectural visualization, or ArchViz, is the craft of turning a designer’s vision into reality through compelling visual media. It translates sketches and concepts into detailed 3D models, realistic lighting, and immersive scenes that reveal a project long before construction begins. ArchViz helps architects communicate ideas clearly, allowing clients to experience spaces, walking through rooms, observing materials, and understanding scale, with confidence and clarity.

My goal as a designer is to create realistic visualizations that will immerse the client into a dynamic, lifelike experience, helping them to fully connect with the concept and make informed decisions.

    Here are some examples of photo-realistic interiors and exteriors. All images and videos were created by me, from the initial 3D concept CAD drawings, to the finished high-quality renderings. Many of these images depict the finished results of renovations to older houses, as well as the visualization of new buildings still in the design stage.

    All images created with SketchUp Pro, and rendered in Twinmotion (unless specified otherwise).

    About Dan

    I’m originally from Vancouver Island on Canada’s west coast.
    In my youth, I devoted several years to martial arts training, which eventually led me to Japan in the early 1990s to study karate, the language, and the culture.

    My design journey began in Canada, working on magazine layouts, sign design, and various visual projects. I later shifted to a career blending language, technology, and design. Initially, I worked as a Japanese-to-English translator and technical writer at a Japanese software company, localizing Windows PC video games and troubleshooting UI text. I also designed websites and created 3D graphics.

    I then moved to Tokyo, where I coordinated the production of English documentation for digital cameras and printers, including translating and editing user manuals and guides at a multinational corporation.

    My interest in architectural visualization (ArchViz) started with visualizing small construction projects. This evolved into creating before/after renderings of older homes and 3D visualizations of new buildings for clients in architecture and real estate.
