Capital Models

Oakhill Park, London / 1:75 / For this project we produced a 1:75 scale model using acrylic and wood. As a special feature we developed an innovative lighting system, which enabled all the interiors to be individually illuminated. The lighting system could be switched to identify any one particular apartment or light up numerous within groups demonstrating which were sold and still available.

Chester Zoo, Heart of Africa / 1:200 / The 1:200 scale model was to show the proposed new enclosure to house the monkeys in Chester Zoo in a natural tropical environment including all the suitable trees and foliage. The complex roof structure was made by vacuum forming over a hand carved mould approx 800mm x 400mm. The roof was removable to reveal the interior details.

Sound Mirror / 1:200 / Built especially for the Royal Academy Summer Show 2015. This concept model was made from acrylic and brass etching. It was predominately a flat base with a contoured detail depicting part of the Essex coastline. The idea was based on the concrete radar reflectors built during the Second World War. / Artist: Hannah Sawtell. / Architect: Friend and Company.

We worked on this display with Bees and Honey at the 02 Centre. We made the background panel boards from Foamex with an LED lighting installation running along the top. We laser cut the lettering which was hung using a split baton technique to give a 'floating' effect. Minimalist and stylish, we thing it looks great!

Pink Floyd - 'Relics' iconic model ship / Pink Floyd’s album, ‘Relics’ was released in 1971, and is a timeless classic that showcases some of the band’s most iconic tracks from their early years. The album’s distinctive cover art began as a simple pen and ink sketch by drummer Nick Mason, who was inspired by his time studying architecture.
