Preparing an office arrangement design is a challenge for an architect, who must take into account the expectations and needs of many parties, among others, the investor and the tenant. Staying on schedule is very crucial, and any adjustments affect the timing. New technologies come to the rescue, allowing proposals to be visualized with 3D modelling and virtual walk-throughs, while BIM software streamlines project control at every stage.
Effective collaboration
At Tétris, we focus on the continuous development of processes related to the design and fit-out of commercial properties. We strive to make the most of available innovations and technologies that increase the efficiency and quality of our work, delivering the best results for our clients. Implementing processes related to BIM, which is a management methodology, required us to standardize processes and develop a common working environment in the cloud on a global level.

Already at the conceptual design stage, the client has a chance to get better acquainted with our design proposal and give us their comments, which speeds up further work. What's more, the 3D model allows us to identify possible challenges related to different types of installations, even before the implementation begins. Thus, we can make adjustments to the design much earlier, eliminating potential delays. While the fit-out work is already underway, any changes made by the architect are available to the construction team, which also streamlines operations.

Virtual tour of the designed space
Presentation of concepts is most often done using static visualizations and animations. Realistic renderings help convey the harmony of the interior. However, at Tétris, we go further and use animations and virtual walk-throughs. We can invite the client into the interior and show them how the furniture, colors, and accessories will look like. The software allows us to change them to other suggestions in real-time and test the different finishing options proposed by the architect.

With sustainability in mind
In addition, using 3D models of the building, architects can analyse access to daylight in the offices and plan heating and air conditioning systems to optimize their efficiency. Taking data directly from the 3D plan allows also for precise measurements, selection of products and finishing materials, generating savings for the client.
