    Genesis Studios Inc. Bridge Illustrations-The Memorial Causeway Bridge

    Genesis Studios Inc. has experience doing architectural renderings of bridges. With the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, funding for transportation projects has increased.
    The new Memorial Causeway Bridge in Clearwater, Florida, and designed by HDR Engineering, Inc., Orlando, Florida is 2,540 ft. long with 74 ft. vertical clearance over the intracoastal waterway. The bridge is 111.6-foot wide and carries two lanes of traffic in each direction with a sidewalk on each side.
    HDR Engineering, Inc., commissioned Genesis Studios Inc. to produce the illustrations of the bridge.
    Genesis worked closely with HDR to accurately depict the graceful design and length of the structure in its actual setting.
    Because several design options were being considered, different studies were done before settling on the final design.
    Computer models were developed as the basis for the perspective views with care taken to show existing buildings in their settings.
    This allowed the City and committees to see how the bridge would impact the beautiful location.
    Genesis Studios has the skills to satisfy the exacting demands of engineering firms as well as the artistic abilities to dramatically render such a magnificent structure.

  • Over the last several months Genesis Studios Inc. has produced...


    Over the last several months Genesis Studios Inc. has produced several interior renderings of Kafe Kalik restaurant locations for McMillen Design, in Kissimmee, Florida. Kafe Kalik celebrates the growing popularity of the Caribbean with locations in Freeport, Grand Bahamas and Nassau, Bahamas and Orlando, Florida where they are headquartered. The challenge for Genesis Studios was to produce realistic watercolor renderings and at the same time capture the life and colors of the Caribbean. So the interior illustrations needed to be precisely drawn in perspective. All of the materials and finishes had to be accurately portrayed. But the client requested that the renderings be painted in a loose lively watercolor style. The rendering shown is of an application in an airport setting. So while the focal point was the inviting excitement of the interior, the rendering had to capture the icons placed outside of the restaurant to capture the attention of passersby.

  • March 24th, 2010 – Sectors of Construction Thriving in a Down Economy-Military Facilities

    As the downturn in the economy persists, it may be worth examining the areas of development and construction that are thriving in this economic climate. Recently we featured Storage Facilities as a construction type that is thriving these days.

    Ebert, Norman & Brady - BEQ Naval Facilities

    This week we are presenting just a few projects we have rendered for the Military.  Under the “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009”, monies have been distributed for Military projects.

    Ebert, Norman & Brady -  Engineering Services Facility

    Genesis Studios Inc. has done architectural renderings for the Army, Navy, Air Force and the Marines. We have depicted hangars, living quarters and training facilities.

    Our expertise in Military projects is valuable to the architects that we serve. Often, there are special requirements for items such as landscaping where perimeter planting must allow the properties to be patrolled easily. Also, very precise colors and materials are specified and need to be portrayed accurately and convincingly. Special attention needs to be given to uniforms and vehicles.

    Ebert, Norman & Brady - Bachelor Quarters

    Our Opaque Style renderings are very popular with the Military as they conform to the architectural rendering styles usually called out in contracts with the government. They are close to ‘photorealistic” but are hand painted to lend a bit of softness.

    If desired, we can produce Digital Renderings as well.

    As we make our way through this seemingly endless down economy, it may be beneficial to look to trends that seem to be thriving.

    Genesis Studios Inc. loves doing architectural renderings of upscale Resorts like Marriott Vacation Clubs or Ritz Carlton Hotels, but we’re doing far fewer than before.

    We are still doing some resorts in China (look for more about this one in an upcoming newsletter), as well as working on the beautiful, Longboat Key Club Resort, near Sarasota, Florida.

    Some of you may  think Genesis Studios’ focus is on resorts and lifestyle projects, but over the years, we’ve painted  pretty much every building type imaginable. We’ve welcomed the opportunity to work on Military Bases, Strip Mall Renovations, Hospitals and Correctional Facilities. We strive to provide the highest quality architectural illustrations for every project. 

    In the next few weeks we will cover some of the building types that may be of interest to all of us in this economy. 

    So, let’s get started and talk about Self-Storage buildings.

    Often times, municipalities want to see the design, colors and materials of structures such as these. Self-Storage buildings have become more of an asset to their settings rather than the “eye sores” that once were allowed.

    When professional architectural renderings are required for permitting, we’ve got you covered. The two renderings shown are very different from each other. The A+ Storage facility is an opaque painting, a very realistic style. This style, or our digital renderings would be perfect when a municipality requires a  very literal translation of the architecture.   The STOR KWICK structure is a soft architectural watercolor rendering. Sometimes a softer more artsy interpretation is effective in attaining approval before a board.

    In both instances, the artwork can be published in brochures, on the web or even enlarged to billboard size. Want something other than Opaque or Digital?  Visit Genesis Studios website to see more.

    Next time we will cover Military Projects.
