Virtual production for projects that draw people together.

We create collaborative, comprehensive, multipurpose 3D models and documentation that will bring your ideas to life.

Our detailed information rich content aids architects, engineers, and general contractors in their understanding of the creative design intent. Our integrated models allow teams to assess a concept from multiple perspectives and anticipate issues before anything is ever built.

Our process simplifies your project.

FrankNDesign leverages the latest technology and digital design tools to provide solutions for creative, themed entertainment, and hospitality clients.
We break down design silos and centralize project information into a single, accessible, data-rich virtual environment.
Our information-rich 3D Models allow project stakeholders to estimate costs more accurately, identify conflicts, and propose solutions early in the design process.
Communicate constructability through detailed visuals and estimate costs using our detailed schedules
Communicate constructability through detailed visuals and estimate costs using our detailed schedules
Render images or videos for explaining creative intent, assisting in-field art direction, or marketing projects using the exact same documentation models

Our services have your team covered.

Frankndesign facilitates effective and efficient collaboration amongst all disciplines, enhances coordination, forecasts issues, and presents virtual time and money saving solutions before and during construction.

Case Study: Tokyo Streets

As a majority of Frankndesign’s work remains confidential, we developed our “Tokyo Streets” case study project to illustrate our documentation process, showcase our capabilities as designers, and demonstrate the attention to detail that we bring to all of our clients’ projects.

 

In particular, this project features our ability to distill the character of a place into its discrete component parts. We completed an extensive research effort and then used our creative insight to design, model, and document this hypothetical themed environment project using the Frankndesign process.

 

All of our production work on this effort stemmed directly from a catalog of first hand experience from traveling to Japan, reference imagery depicting the formal and informal built environment in Tokyo, and in-house conceptual design sketches.

 

This case study project serves as an example of the quality, resourcefulness, and expertise that Frankndesign brings to every project.

Comprehensive 3D Digital Model

Our team created proprietary content modeled in various 3D programs and assembled this project in AEC industry standard software for documentation

Review your entire project, all in one single digital model.

We design, model, and document each individual component of a project in one place. This allows us to consider both the micro and macro scales of all elements and their relationships to one another to ensure that the creative vision is followed, understood, and eventually executed on site.

Collaborate digitally with creatives, architects, engineers, and general contractors in real-time.

Our integrated models allow teams to assess a concept from multiple perspectives and anticipate issues before anything is ever built. Through our advanced use of BIM, you can visualize and trust that production between disciplines is coordinated, consistent, and self-referential.
Multidisciplinary model views are valuable aids for coordination, planning, and problem solving

Visualize project wide scope interactions from any perspective.

We create visualizations and diagrams that help to tell the full story of ongoing coordination as each project moves through the design process. Our models help highlight any scope gaps to reduce costly change orders during construction.

Documentation

The Frankndesign team used the Tokyo Streets case study project to develop and showcase an example of the level of detail and design clarity we achieve when documenting our clients’ projects.

Better data. Better decisions.

All of our 3D models are embedded with the critical data you need to make better decisions. Know the quantity, size, and location of every asset in the model in real-time, and see the impact of design decisions reflected in both our intelligent, data rich schedules and in the three dimensional digital project environment.

Documenting the information you need.

We document complex elements in unique ways using a combination of 2D and 3D drawing methods. This allows for our clients, the creative design teams, and, the fabricators that we work with to easily understand, communicate, and agree on the final design.
Schedules use the addition of 3D modeled elements to facilitate clear communication

Visualization

At Frankndesign, our documentation and visualization models are one and the same. The same models can be leveraged for renderings, animations, animatics, and other marketing uses to allow stakeholders or the public to experience the creative vision before anything is ever built.
