Initial R&D

A summary of initial ideas that were created during the early stages of the project, some of which led us to the final outcome.

Casa di Solare


A digital oasis and home to the beautiful new font family by Nikolas Type. When Nikolas approach us with this project we jumped at the opportunity to push the boundaries of what a typography showcase could be. Taking inspiration from the font name “Solare” and the origins of it’s design, the sun and it’s magical power has highly influenced all aspects of the website, from sun dial text displays to the striking yellow tones in the UI.

Real-time & Pre-rendered
– A Perfect 3D Partnership


Through the combination of pre-rendered 3D visuals and real-time WebGL implementation we were able to create a compelling and immersive narrative. Initially introducing the scene in a real-time 3D environment with interactive features then supplementing this with high-quality 3D media created in Cinema4D & Redshift, all of which stylistically share the same common themes which ultimately results in a consistent visual story that feels very custom to the project.
